Midget On The Edge--A Day of Bad Things

Today has been a huge bummer.

Before lunch, Kyle called me freaking out. He had our dog tied up to a tree a block from our apartment, and was trying to coax a smaller dog to come to him so it wouldn’t get hit by a car. As Kyle left the apartment to take Molly for a walk, he passed a fellow who had emerged from the woods across the street, walking very briskly. On his way back to our apartment, Kyle noticed the man was gone, but a small white and brown dog was trotting around the grass, dangerously close to the busy road. Kyle tied Molly to a tree nearby, unwilling to leave the small dog on its own, and called me to come help him. I left for lunch early to save the day.

When I was half way there, Kyle called me again and told me that the dog was gone, so he put Molly back into our apartment. The dog would get within a few feet of him and then bolt as if he thought it was a game. It took off up a side street, where Jessica went after it with her car after Kyle told her what was going on. I cut through to look for the dog on my way home and found it, but just as with Kyle, it would only come within a few feet and then run. During his walk down the side street, Kyle saw the man he had seen come out of the woods before. The dog appeared to be following him, and all Kyle can figure is that he tried to dump the dog. We couldn’t catch the poor thing, so we went home for lunch. So depressing.

On top of that, a tenant in my building is getting evicted. It’s a pretty sad situation, but a long time coming. A little girl is involved, which makes the situation unbearable.

Allergy shots at the end of the day suck, too.
