Then, on the MUP, a poodle wandered out of the woods and started sniffing around the grass next to the pavement. No human followed. I decided to turn around to see if it was lost, but it crossed the MUP and went up a path toward the back of a house. Today must be unattended pets day.
Am having major mixed emotions. The ride in was so nice I could have kept on going for another 15 miles. I get to the office and the cleaning person has the showers locked out for 45 minutes
Now I'm late and have to explain this to my boss. I don't think he really cared because he had seen my bike locked up since 8:00 am. He just didn't know what I was doing or where I was.
Then I have to come in and read that you saved a squirrels life? What were you thinking man? Those are nothing but rats with furry tails. I have an ongoing war at my house with those cridders. They are trying to tear up the awning and one of the stupld little things is trying to make his home in my gutters. I wake up some mornings to hear it moving around inside the gutters...very annoying. one day I came out of the garage and he was coming out of the gutter at the same time. He just froze and stared at me. By the time I thought enough to go get the pellet gun, he had gone back into the gutter....and I'm not about to shoot holes into my house!
But on the other hand...I don't care for cats either...so now my emotions are all mixed up!
