Leash Laws

Remember when I said I was quiting everything except bunko? Well that's still true. My "old" book club was having a planning meeting last Thurs. that I didn't intend to go to. However, Caleb decided to call his Dad that night so I figured I'd have at least 45 min. to go and get out for a while. I loaded up the baby and headed down the street when out between 2 parked cars came a little white dog...Thump, Thump....Yes, I hit and killed it. It was horrible. I drove about 3 houses down not really believing what happened. I scrambled to find my cell to call Caleb who was talking to his Dad so he didn't answer. So flipped a u-turn to go back and try to find the owners of this sad situation. As I turned I see a man pick up his dog and go lay him on the driveway. Did I mention I'm bawling during all this? I pull over and he comes to my window where I blubber repeatedly how sorry I am. He said he was sorry too and that the dog shouldn't have been in the road. Then I just go right back home, no book club. I should have known better than to try and add an extra back to my life. So what they say is true, if you really love your dog, leash him.
