Dog Found

My mother-in-law has been watching "The Secret" lately (that goofy DVD that teaches the law of attraction, which seems a lot like Field of Dream's "If you build it they will come" theory), which I think is a bunch of crap...or is it?

I have been wanting another dog since I moved to the countryburbs. Well, yesterday I took my dog out in the rain, running down our long driveway. I turned around to see if he was following me, and he was, until he decided to dart off in the other direction. I went back up to the house, opened the gate, and screamed his name. I then looked to my left and saw a completely different dog, who was the same breed and size of my dog, but with different colors (pit mix with brown and white coat). She was soaking wet, shivering, and was scared. I got her out of the rain, dried her off, and noticed she had no tags. My goofy dog finally came running back to us, and immediately fell in love.

We put out a craigslist post and will flier today, take her to the vet, call the shelter, etc. BUT maybe, just maybe, this is an act of The Secret. Maybe this is supposed to be my dog. She is so sweet, but really skinny and obviously neglected. I sure wouldn't mind if she isn't claimed.

In other news, I really like the new Wu-Tang album even though Raekwon doesn't. Also, I voted for Obama. That's about it.


UPDATE (2/7/08): After cleaning up about the tenth pile of urine, breaking up three fights between this puppy and my dog, we decided that we aren't ready for another animal. But luckily, my sister-in-law is. She's had the dog since Saturday, but got a scare yesterday when the shelter called. Long story short, she was able to buy the dog from the original owner. So I don't have a new dog, but at least she's still in the family.
