Huskee & Hershey

We had a visitor the other evening.... He reminded mom of Angel T-man? (Pawsonally, I think T-man is much better looking!!) Just in case any of you are worried about my status in this household in the event that this is yet ANOTHER 'present' for me from my so-very-thoughtful mom, please put all your fear to rest.

Mom took us out for our evening walk and this little dude appeared from under some bushes. He started playing bitey-face with Hershey (Correction: Hershey was doing the biting most of the time and the poor guy was just trying to get away from the evil teefies). Oh man, I did feel sorry for him but on the other hand, he seemed to be enjoying it and kept going back for more. Mom was looking around for his owner but after 30mins, there wasn't any sign of the dude's owner and all he had on him was a blue bandana without any identification tag. We had to leave because mom's arm was getting yanked out of it's socket by Hershey...

However, we just couldn't leave him there all alone cos he reminded us too much of T-man... also, we definitely do not want him to get dog-napped!! Off we went to the guard house and left the guards on duty a message that if they see anyone looking for a black poodle, please call mom. On one hand, we knew it was the right thing to do, but on the other hand, mom was worried that the dude's been abandoned or what if no one comes for him?? Sending him to SPCA would mean certain death for him cos unfortunately, the SPCA here only rehomes younger dogs. Gee.. she's gonna have hell a lot of explaining to do when dad comes home that night from his business trip.

The dude came home with us and he and Hershey almost tore the house apart. Mom then decided that they both should 'chill out' APART since they have been going at it non-stop for an hour. (I tell you this Hershey is one hell of an Energizer bunny!!), so she put him in Hershey's cage and put Hershey in the yard. Just imagine the peacefulness that followed...

Fortunately after spending an hour or so in our house, the little dude's owner called!! She came over and collected him and we found out that his name is 'Poppy'. Silly mom forgot to ask how old he is... but Poppy's owner promised that we can go over for a play date anytime. Apparently this isn't the first time Poppy had sneaked out from the house by chewing up the fence!! His exasperated owner told mom that Poppy had 'killed' 3 fences in the short time since they moved in. I reckon she's got a little Houdini in her hands!!

Presenting: Houdini Poppy!!

I'm glad this story has a happy ending..

1) I am not stuck with another sibling (which I don't really need, trust me, one is already one too many!)

2) Mom doesn't have to have a hard time explaining to dad that he's now got three dogs

3) Poppy is reunited with his family

4) We have made a new friend and can go over to Poppy's place for a play date anytime we want

Hmmmm.. do you think it's possible that Poppy was sent by Angel T-man to visit me?
