Stray puppy - part 2

3:00 a.m. - Inside dog needs to go outside. Trying to get her outside. Can't because our newest addition is blocking the door - she darts in - inside dog refuses to go out until I am holding one wiggling, whimpering puppy.

3:15 a.m. - Inside dog standing in middle of yard. I am in my pj's calling her name, my back is turned - outside dog darts in again - barking - and playing.

3:25 a.m. - Both dogs are where I think they should be.

3:30 a.m. - Inside dog thinks she deserves a treat for going outside at 3:00 a.m.

Now, I can't go back to sleep.

To think I started 2007 with a Goldfish - and am ending it with two dogs - how did that happen?
