Something strange happened last night during the snowstorm/blizzard. About 4am our front doorbell rang. It woke me up immediately, and Mr. Martini was yapping. I went downstairs only to find a lab at the door. No cars were out. I didn't see footprints, but then again, my eyes are not the best.
So, I brought the dog inside. Rosie was like...omg. I told her I couldn't let the dog freeze to death outside. I gave the dog food, water, and several warm blankets. Within a half an hour, the dog was sound asleep in front of a room heater.
Then this morning, we went outside, including this lab, and a family came around calling a name and it was the lab's. I told the family what happened. They told me that the dog was in the garage with the kids looking for sleds. The next thing they realized, the dog wandered off.
I am just happy that the family has their pet back, and no more tears from the faces of the little children. I still wonder who rang our doorbell.
