Yesterday

I took the kids on a little outing.  We caught the citycat  from the ferry stop at the end of Oxford St in Bulimba, all the way around to the stop in the park at West End.  It took about an hour and the kids had a ball.  Smartie and Blondie were with me, and they really got into it.  The lovely ferry attendant even gave the boys a die cut cardboard city cat model kit for them to make. 

When we got to the park we were greeted by an enthusiastic and friendly golden cocker spaniel.  He followed us on our walk to the playground and stuck to me like glue for the remainder of our morning.  Clearly on a little wander from his home, I rang the number on his RSPCA tags and reported that I'd found him.  Then I called the owners and left a message.  Scott wouldn't let me bring him home to look after him until he was claimed...he correctly suspected that the dog and I would bond irrevocably...and on the off chance he wasn't claimed I'd want to keep him.  So we dropped him off at the RSPCA, and the owners picked him up that afternoon.  I got a lovely call from the little girl who had received the dog (named Sam) for her 8th birthday on Saturday.  The kids and I were pretty happy that things had turned out ok.

Scott voluntarily went grocery shopping as well.  Wonders will never cease.
