Definitely an interesting night...

Well here's the thing...James and I came home tonight from school planning on taking A.J. for a walk, making some dinner together, and then going to bed early so we could get up for our 5am gym run. Apparently someone else had different plans for our evening. We went on the walk with A.J. and took him to the park to throw the frisbee and on the way back we found a lost dog. He is white and some other color (can't tell if it's brown or black since it has been dark since we found him) and he appears to be part Jack Russell...maybe one of A.J.'s long lost cousins. Anyways something just drew us to this dog and we went over to try to see him and gave him some treats and left...well then we went out to grab something at food lion and he was still there and we just couldn't leave him. So to make a long story short instead of calling it a night early tonight we spent our evening figuring out how to get this dog back to the house so that we could make sure he or she was safe. We finally got it back to our house and it is currently hanging out in our back yard with a box and a blanket and some food and water. For right now we have decided to call him Benji because he has that scraggly look to him! We tried to introduce A.J. to Benji and Benji did not seem to thrilled about that.

We called the sherrif who put us through to disbatch who then put us through to the animal control office and when we got to them we got the lovely answering machine saying that they will be available during their office hours of 8-5. We are going to call them tomorrow and post some flyers but in the mean time we would like to do whatever we can to help this little guy or girl get back to its home so please if anyone has any ideas on how to help us do that or has happened to have heard about a lost dog please let us know. We will post some pics tomorrow and see if that helps out at all.
