"i saved the day betty!"

[sauceboxx]

last night my brother and i were on our way out, and on the corner of our street there was a dog wandering around. it was about 1230, and i was calling him over to the car. when he came closer and i saw he didn't have a collar, i didn't notice his neck was all cut up and bloody and dirty. he was crying and backing away, like he was scared. i was like, oh we have to help him. kevin put him in the backseat of his truck and we went back home. i called the cops to find out about animal control and in the meantime i fed him a few treats. he was starving, so i gave him some food and he proceeded to devour not one, but two bowls and some water while we were waiting. it took about an hour for someone to come, and in the meantime we saw the gash in his neck. he was so sweet and playful, jumped all over both us, getting his rotting flesh particles and blood all over us. but you could tell that he had been neglected. the animal control guy said the owners would never see him again, he said it looked like he'd been chained or tied up with a collar all the time and finally broke free from it. his whole neck, where the collar goes was missing fur and scabbed. we called him "slash". hehe. after work this afternoon i stopped at the humane society to check on him. i couldn't see him because he was behind a curtain bandaged because they don't want him to get excited, monday they said he goes to the vet for stitches. i got an application to adopt him, but the people who own the house are a little leary since he's a pitbull, and there have been a slew of pitbull horror stories and i heard that owning one of them also makes your homeowners insurance go up. hmph. either way, we're heroes. and i will go back to visit him during the week i think.

got home this afternoon and slept. for 4 hours. yum. saw 'million dollar baby' tonight. way better than 'hide and seek'. i was totally crying, since i cry super easy during movies, and ended up with some super blotchy eyes. then we went to ihop for some food and a pot of decaf. yay for laughing until my side hurt.

i think i wanted to write more. but i'm fresh out. .
