Woohoo, I actually have a story to tell tonight
Will and I were on our way to my house from eating with my parents when I notice an animal cross the busy highway up ahead. I point to the animal and tell Will to watch out, then I see the animal (a Jack Russell Terrier) dart into oncoming traffic. I dive out of Will’s car (barefoot, I might add) and chase after the puppy. My presence scares him even more and he starts running around in circles in the middle of an intersection. I had to shield my eyes because a car almost hit him. A truck stops up ahead and tries to grab the dog, but instead scares him back into the oncoming traffic. A couple of other cars stop, too, and try to help out. The poor animal is scared to death and is wandering around senselessly on this busy road with cars buzzing by. Meanwhile, I’m running around barefoot, dodging and weaving through traffic trying to catch the little pup. To make a long story short, someone finally chased the dog down the highway and into the woods. I called the police department, who immediately dispatched a patrol car to try to find the dog and avoid an accident. The pup wasn’t wearing a collar and looked totally lost, so I figured he must’ve been someone’s puppy that ran away. I pray that he doesn’t get hit and will find his way home.
I enjoyed reading the comments on my last entry, thanks so much for your input
We spent the day on the lake, so I’m pooped! My body hurts from head to toe from riding the waverunner all afternoon. I’m exausted, so I think I’m gonna hit the sack

i guess i shouldn’t tell you the story of how my friends were driving rather fast one night, there were two cars, we were side by side and i happened to see the other car drive straight into a little puppy lol. it flew like 20 meters, rolled a bit and then he ran off.
you weren’t planning on taking that dog for yourself were you?

poor little thing - he must have been scared to death. People tend to rush to help little animals - it’s so great

Aww, that poor wittle’ puppy dog. He must have been so scared and just wanted to get home, I hope he stays safe. It’s always hard to see things like that, I found a puppy once wandering our neighborhood and I tried to get to him but he just kept running away. I gave up and felt bad, but he had a collar so maybe someone took him home. Anyhoo, it’s nice to hear so many people tried to help. And it was very brave of your to try your best (barefoot) at catching him. Good job bubs!
