Still recovering.

Yesterday was awful. Taz, the foster dog got loose. He ran his "walk" circuit, and with the help of two bikers, one pedestrian, Hilary and her car, and a helpful neighbor (in which we realized we knew each other from Matt n Sigrid's moving day), we managed to capture him. Thank god he didn't get run over, or lost. I felt terrible about it, and having "let" him escape. He bulldozed his way through the door as soon as I had opened it, but I wasn't prepared and he got free. You can damn well be sure that I will be prepared from now on.

My feet are covered in blisters. I discarded my sandals one block into the chase and the concrete ripped them to shreds.

My chest still hurts from this cold and I haven't gotten a decent night's sleep in four days. I feel dizzy, out of it, and tired.

My digital camera is ... broken. I need a new one. Pictures will be few and scant until then.

Oh my god. What a nightmare. I haven't felt so totally helpless in a long time. I'm sorry that your feet got shredded, I'm sorry that I stood there stupidly when you said, "get him!"...the only thing I could think to do was try not to lose him with the car, as the children were in it and I had doubts about being able to catch a greyhound and...he doesn't know me...but seriously...I'm just sorry that you had to experience the trauma! He totally seemed like he was just doint his walk though...like he would stop and wait for you to catch up, then get running again when you got close. I'm not coming in anymore until that dog is gone! ;)

It's okay, he was hard to catch. And it didn't really matter WHO went up to him because he is so timid and shy.

Ugh. He get's adopted this Saturday. I won't be missing this dog, that's for sure.
