    Brewery is a madhouse! Must be the ramp up for the holiday.
    Im back in the groove of running again. Guess the weather could be worse too. Take care everyone.

    I'm at the company yard. It's the weekend and there is only a lone dispatcher.
    Ive been here since 8pm.
    A dog has also been here since then, tied to a pole near the diesel tank.
    Im at a loss. Animal control is closed , and nobody seems to know who's dog it is. No dishes near it, and who knows how long it was there before I got here.
    Im tempted to take her so she has a better life.
    Some people don't deserve a Dog .

    Hate to see a dog treated that way.

    I tried picking up a dog at a truck stop, but she was to scared to even get close to me. I went inside and got her some water and some food and tried to lure her to my truck but she still wasn't having it. So I just set the food and water down and drove off, I hated that feeling

    I went to the grocery store to grab the essential things; dog food, a dish, new collar/harness a new leash. I was intent on taking her with me and wanted to be prepared .
    Upon returning to the lot , she was gone. The chain that tied her was gone too.
    I was split. Half of me was relieved that she was picked up or released to home , the other half of me was sad that I couldn't take her with me.

    Now you should be prepared if you find another dog.

    Sounds like its time to find an animal shelter and adopt a dog

    If you go to shelters for a dog search in your area I got one of mine from a shelter the adoption was around $25 when it was normally $75 and they put a chip in and neuter/spayed the animal as well for that price you can't beat that deal if you can find one like that
