Saying hello and goodbye to Miss Lulu!


A few weeks ago one of the guys that I work with came in Mon, Tues, and Wed. with the same sad story about a dog living out at one of the oil and gas facilities. On Wednesday I couldn't stand it any longer and decided to go check on the dog.. So I scrounged up what little food we had at the office (we had some old breakfast taquitos in the fridge that needed to be thrown out so I decided to bring that to the poor starving dog) and I rounded up a bowl and a few bottles of water and off I went. When I spotted her (its a girl!) at the facility she was very scared, very hungry, and very thirsty so I quickly started unwrapping the foil wrapped taquitos and threw them on the ground. After I unwrapped the last one I had already thrown it on the ground and it was being scarfed down when I realized it was a sandwich also wrapped in foil and not a taquito! I thought to myself "OH SHInicker BACHKER...that was not a taquito..that is a sandwich! I JUST GAVE THE DOG SOMEONES LUNCH!" yeah...that is just my luck! So long story short I couldn't just leave the dog out in the middle of no where to starve so I loaded her up in the back of my car and took her home! I kept thinking "why am I doing this, this is NOT what I need right now!!" She settled in nicely and stayed in the back yard. I posted a Craigslist ad for her the next day but got no responses. 2 weeks went by and I had grown attached to the sweet gal! Wes and I had brought her to the beach, bathed her, and taught her to sit-kind of. I decided to post one more ad and if that didn't work I was just going to keep her. Well it did work! About 30 minutes after I posted the ad I had a phone call from a gal who wanted to come see her that evening. She came last night and picked Lulu up and I was saaaaaaad! I was getting used to her being there and greeting me when I would come home from work. I will miss her alot but I know she is going to a good home and is going to get all of the love she deserves!

I snapped the first picture below to send to Wes to let him know what I was dragging home. It is very possible that she is eating someone's lunch in this photo.
