I'm Finding a New Home!

So, the day before yesterday Puppy was getting in trouble for being Captain Destructo AGAIN. After his discipline, he comes down the stairs with his favorite stuffed animal (a doggie)--Softy, his pillow and a bookbag. He puts his heavy coat on over his pj's and his sneakers on his feet (with no socks--by the way).

Rice tells Puppy to tell me whats going on, and that is where he informs me that he is finding a new home with a nice family. (This is where I told Rice fine as long as he didn't forget to take a picture :oP) As he is saying his goodbyes, Salty is hurrying to get on her shoes and coat. I'm coming, toooooooo she says. I asked Puppy if he wanted some lunch before he left and he gladly obliged. After enjoying his spaghetti and meat balls (thanks to Chiefboyrdee) and asking me for the address of a friend down the street, he was ready to go.

About the time that Puppy is walking out the door into the sixteen below zero windchill weather (with Salty following closely behind), Rice informs Salty that you can only run away if you have had a spanking. She scurries in and slams the door, "Mom I'm ready for my spanking." she says. I tried not to laugh as I told her that I wasn't going to spank her so she says, "Okay, fine. I'll spank myself." She then proceeds to spank herself and say, "OWWW that was a hard one!" Then headed out the door to catch up with Puppy. Then Puppy came back inside informing me to tell Salty that she wasn't allowed to run away--and that she was still following him. Then was gone again. During this whole incident and all through lunch, mind you, T-dawg is off and on again crying, asking me whether Puppy was really running away or not--just to add to the drama.

After two plus minutes and half way down the road, Puppy and Salty returned. By the way Rice kept an eye on both of them as they were "Running away."

*I am sorry to say, I am sad to report that Rice, the wonderful guy he is, didn't actually get any pictures. I know, I know, what pray tell was he thinking?! He decided to film a goodbye video instead, and it didn't turn out well. Sorry, you'll just have to use your imagination this time ;o)
