Wandering dogs


Another drive to Houston - well its a long drive for an appointment, but without a doubt it is a necessity. Just as I prepared to leave, I find the cable guy left the gate open and the dogs took off, so I spent time driving around looking for them before I left for this trip.
On may way, after driving for over 200 miles, the phone
rang, a guy had found the dogs, but they would not get in his truck. hopefully they find their way back home, as I'm here in Houston.
My mother did go to my house and check to see it they came back, but they had not. I will probably get a call today when someone finds them. since are out of school and people are off work, someone may find them, as they are fairly friendly.

Interesting things seem to happen at the most interesting times.
At the moment I have to take care of what I came here to do, so I give it to the graces of Gods graces. God knows how to have many animals travel long spans and know how to get back to where they came from. I'm sure this is true too with dogs.

On a funny note, I was telling my mother, that 'Country Dogs seem to be more aware of how to travel around far different than city dogs. Country dogs seem to always know their way back home, and they usually do it before sundown.

I'm here trying to get some treatments arranged, so I don't think stressing about anything is suitable, so I will deal with it when it get back home.

I'm using my laptop, which I don't really like typing on it, I very rarely use it, as I prefer the desktop units with the separate keyboard. This one normally sits un-used unless I go some place, so you can imagine its rather older.

It quite interesting the way people drive. Some are as if they are joy riding, some act as if they are unaware others are on the road. I do however teach 'defensive driving classes on a monthly basis, it still amazes me to the things people do while driving. I do a good bit of research on driving and reading regulations about highway driving and such. Still its amazing with the volume of traffice how people forget these vehicles are not toys, they are very serious units which must be utilized with care and consideration, regardless how pretty ones car may be.

Thank you, so far all is well, this is follow up treatment, which is precautionary. I however would prefer not to elect it, but though the advice of the doctor, it is the best course to give me better chance for no re-occurrence. The surgery in December was so far successful in what its aim was. Over-all I feel great.

I don't know much about Houston, Where I am looks well maintained, but I do know there are areas that are far less maintained.

I had a relative whom I visited years back who lived in Sugarland, and I previous owned two houses in a suburb called Tomball.
But, Houston is a big city which expands, at the moment I'm down the street from the Astrodome and the Reliant Sports Center.

Today, the weather is suppose to be sunshine and 80 degrees.

My mother called this morning, she drove to my house early, she said they were in the front yard when she arrived. She said they were tired and dirty, because she said it rained very hard last last night.
She said they came in and laid down and did not seem interested in getting up for anything.

I arrived back home this evening about 6pm, they met me at the door. generally when they hear the garage door open and close, they know I'm coming to the door and they were there as usual... but they had a look as if they knew they should not have gone astray.

It must have been 10 minutes after I wrote the post this morning, that my mother called to tell me they were home. She was equally so delighted, she told me that she woke up last night thinking about them. I told her for some reason I woke up about the same time she said she did.

I actually started reading a book about 2:30 am, it contained some of the same things she had been telling me, about positive thinking, both as with the dogs and the health thing.

One bright spot also in the travel, was "good weather', it was around 76ยบ+ with clear blue skies and nice cotton ball looking clouds which made for an amazing view along the drive.

Thank you, and I agree on the expanse of "defensive living, health and personal finances".
