We had friends here last night and Hubby mentioned something that had fallen out of my head completely.
It must have been 7 years ago as we had our 4 dogs at the time, I was cooking a chicken (anyone who knows me would know that that is quite a memorable thing for me to be doing
) I hear a woof out the back, ignore it, woof again, quick head count and all ours are in the house. Woof, woof again so I go out and open the back gate for a nosey, there's this straggly looking lurcher type dog sat on the back step, he trots past me, goes into the house, gets up on the couch and goes to sleep :Yawn:
Hubby and me are looking at him then at each other, the dogs are looking as if to say "where the flip has he come from?"
He was wearing a yellow collar and when we look it had the dogs trust (might have still been NCDL back then) I rang them telling them we've found a really thin, bad condition dog on the step (I thought someone must have rehomed him then dumped him) the lady told me they were missing a dog, he'd escaped from the kennels a few hours before, they are around 10 miles from us so poor thing had covered some miles, a man from the rescue came and collected him a couple of hours later. It just seemed really odd to us that he would travel all that way and end up sitting on our back step
I did try to convince Hubby that it was a sign and that he should come and live with us but had to agree with him that 4 dogs were enough for us to manage.
