Last night from about 3-6am we had the strangest pair of visitors--two loose, lost, sweet, strong pit bulls decided to camp out between our house and our next door neighbor's house. I guess the combined dog scent of four dogs between them attracted these wanderers. They were very sweet dogs and clearly trained, both wearing collars. But they were also "intact" pit bulls, which made us all a little nervous (esp. since the combined weight of our four dogs would probably equal only one of the pit bulls). We tried to find owner info on the tag and couldn't. Our neighbor called the police, who kindly told her that Animal Control didn't have any in until 8am (that seems dumb).
So we endured their romping between porches. They were mostly quiet but our dogs were in a fit over all the commotion and intruders.
I just have to wonder who around here keeps (and presumably breeds?) pit bulls? I hope they made it back home. They were gone by sun-up (which was at like 9am today--or so it felt like it was.)
Meanwhile, today is a writing day with a few late day appointments and a workshop with grad students tonight. I must finish up and then proof this essay and send it to my editors ASAP.
