All I saw was a ball of furry black out of the corner of my eye...
I braked immediately, as I pulled into my sisters driveway, waiting for the awfully thud that thankfully never came....

And then he was there.... A black terrier puppy that was so happy to see me, someone he never met before....

Remember, Monday was 65 degree and Tuesday, yesterday, the temp plummeted to 25...

The little guy was shaking and running around my legs like there was no tomorrow, which, could very well happen if he didn't find his way home....

We looked for a collar or tag or anything put nothing...

He had to be from the neighborhood as he was attracted to my sis's house and her neighbor... Both of whom have a reputation on the dog streets of Cleveland as the place to go if you are in trouble....

So what do I do....

I can't take the little guy home....

I can't bring him in, cause sis is in Peru for another three weeks....

So I put a blanket in the porch, spread some food out for him....

Then call the APL....

But he was gone...

I checked back every fifteen or twenty minutes and he never came back....

I guess the little guy just wanted to let me know he was here and then, off he went....

I'm headed back over today to see if has returned for a visit or found a home....
