And there probably weren't half a dozen cars going past after midnight. It was summer and our windows were open. The neighbor's boxer had something cornered down in one of the fields between our houses and DH couldn't ignore it and sleep. So he put on his shoes and went outside to yell at the dog. Didn't stop him. So he went down across our lawn and called. Still didn't stop him. He kept going a little further and a littler further until he realized he was halfway across the field wearing nothing but his sneakers. He decided it might be a little difficult to explain if one of those half-dozen cars came past right then and he started looking for hiding places if he saw headlights coming up the road! He did finally call the dog off whatever it was he had cornered and it escaped so the dog headed home. DH hurried home and we both still laugh about it! ~~Judy |
