Lighting Strike!

Dear Family,

Last night I met the nice little girl next door and her boy dog Otis. The lady told me that I was allowed to meet Otis because even though I am not fixed, he is. I'm confused. Am I broken? Was he? Color me baffled.

Today, I am a dog of a different color because what began as a light rain, quickly devolved into very loud and scary thunderstorm. Here's how it went down.

We were headed out for a walk when it started to drizzle. Figuring, that a little rain wouldn’t hurt us, we soldiered on. Just as the lady opened the patio door the first clap of thunder boomed in our ears. Retreat! 

She immediately let me inside the house and stayed on the patio to remove her boots. Seconds later, when the lady walked into the house, I was nowhere to be found! 

She scooped me up and placed me next to the couch, while she grabbed a small towel to wrap around me. Then Boom! This one was loud and close. And faster than you can say panic, I sprang into the lady's lap.

We later discovered that lightning struck a tree close to the lady's house. This pic is part of the cracked branch that fell into driveway. Trust me! This storm would cause any giant of a dog to seek refuge.

After the booms sounded further away, I calmed a little and grabbed the magic puppy's pen to write to you as I nestled securely between the lady and a pillow. 

It’s been over an hour and I am still here. Over an hour and she is still next to me, scratching behind my ears and gently petting my head. I may never move. In fact, tomorrow when you come to get me, you may find me in this very spot.

Although the lady is sad that I'm leaving, she tells me that she's happy for me to reunite with you. I guess I’m just that easy to love.

I can’t wait to see you tomorrow!. You will find me right here!

Love,
