Kids these days

Seasonal not so jolly at my house. I have a rather funky front gate latch. It works but the delivery folks must stop for a second to get the job done well. Yup. Last night around 9 pm hubby and I were listening to a chapter of the Wind in the Willows. Pups outside. Suddenly it hit my brain: too quiet outside. Yup. Gate wide open and not a pup in sight. Oh my aching gut. I am not super at night driving these days. I got in the car and drove the neighborhood. Did not hit any parked cars. Did not find any pups. I went home and walked some. Nope. Drove some more. Nope. I finally sat in my recliner and read more of a very good but sad book that digs into the Hitler years. Oh bleh and horror on horror. I dozed and read and went to the front porch. Hubby went to bed. I could not go to bed. I sat in my recliner and dozed. About 3 am I heard something besides hard rain. Two very wet pups stood there- we'd left the door and gate open. Just in case. Oh thank you Lord and Lady. Today we have two very tired pups. And me sitting around reading and dozing. There is a lake not too far from me and China creek. Rufus loves water. Moxe no thank you. Now every time we get a delivery I must double check the gate latch. I am deeply grateful neither dog was harmed in this night time romp.
