No, we didn't get a dog

So we have this adorable puppy wrapped in a red blanket sleeping on the kitchen floor right now. Over the weekend we noticed that there were 3 adorable puppies learning how to walk in our neighbors' backyard. There is no fence between our yards so it seems more like we share a backyard. Last night I saw the three little ones cuddling and this morning they were there too. It's getting kind of cold now and it's been raining off and on. This morning while we were watching the puppies from the window we saw the neighbor come and pick up two of them and go inside. She left this one in the backyard. When we got home from church this little guy was still there all by himself. He was getting brave walking around and I was worried he would wander out to the street and get hit by a car. Sameer went out to visit him and a few minutes later it started raining. He (the puppy - not Sameer) started crying. We couldn't resist. One thing led to another. I held him in my arms for a while and he seemed so content. I rang their doorbell to see if they were home. All the lights were out. No one answered. We just couldn't leave this little guy out there in the rain without shelter so we brought him in and he's warm and happy; dreaming his puppy dreams. I left a note on their door. Hopefully we didn't ruin some grand dog training plot. I actually have a feeling that he's not their puppy - perhaps they are dog sitting. We told them once that we wanted to get a dog someday and they said they didn't like dogs....


So maybe we did the wrong thing. We couldn't resist. I know, I know - we should probably return him to the patio.
