stuck in the middle of the road

I think I have mentioned before that starbucks is a good 20 minutes away from the farm, but it’s a nice drive and since I leave the kids behind with Grandma all is good.

Except today when I was driving back and found two big dogs in the middle of the road about to be hit by a car.

Oh and it was raining.

So I stopped my car in the middle of the road, put on my hazards, and tried to coax them into the car.  They were big, wet, muddy, and smelly.  Of course.

They wouldn’t get in, but they were friendly and had tags.  About this time a guy in a truck pulls up and offers to help.  He gives me a raincoat and we tie the dogs onto a rope, call the owner, and direct traffic while we wait for the owner to show up.

I gave the dogs a little lecture about playing in traffic on rainy days, meanwhile the Lab chewed through the rope, he was big crazy puppy.

The grateful owner arrived and all was well.

Good deed done.
