"Charli... The Stray Dog"

So Friday afternoon, Kohen, Landi, and I get out of the car and find this cute little puppy playing in our yard. Didn't think much of it at the time, because we live in the middle of downtown Loretto & I just figured that kinda stuff comes with the territory. So the dog probably weighs 4 lbs and is chasing Kohen around the yard and they are having so much fun. So on my way out the door my neighbor comes by walking her dogs and the stray follows her home. I didn't think anything else about the mutt until the next day.... Nancy (my neighbor) rings my door bell and has the little stray dog at her feet. LOL She said that it had slept in her husbands shoes all night long & she caught it drinking out of her ponies trough (ponies in the middle of downtown Loretto = the reason I felt the stray came with the territory...lol). Anyway... she wanted to know if I wanted it... and of course after seeing Kohen with it... I said yes (like any good mother would...lol). So fast forward a couple of hours and I finally got around to bathing the thing (with the help of Areonna) and figured out it was a full blooded female poodle! Holy crap! And a sweet one at that! It didn't even flinch when I bathed it... crazy! Anyway... I asked around and no one seems to feel like it has an owner and another neighbor (the one that owns Loretto Hardware) said that is was the town stray... lol.
So, of course I asked Eddie if we could keep it....lol. Usually my husband says "yes" to whatever I want, but for some reason he just isn't feeling this dog. However, I laughed and told him that if I couldn't find it a home then I would just have to keep it... he smiled (like he always does). So... my sister and I have decided to dual parent this dog...lol. Best thing I've ever done! She is going to keep Charli during the week and I will have her on the weekend... lol. Maybe my husband will go for that!
