Good and Sad this morning.

Just a quick update. I am still working on my Monster Half wrap up blog, hopefully later today.

Good that I finally got back to swimming. After about two months away from the pool, we were finally healthy and got out but out of bed to get to the 6:30 masters swim this morning. It was very rough, cardio conditioning was still there but my arm and shoulder muscles both were screaming at me by the end. Even my bad left shoulder decided to let me know how unhappy it was. And boy was I slow..... Turtle, Turtle, Turtle. At least I am back in the water.

Sad that on my way to work after swim and morning coffee I came across a little dog that had just got hit. I turn around and came back to see if there was any hope. He was gone. I picked him/her up to get out the middle of the road, I didn't want the little guy/girl to get hit anymore. Unfortunatly the little dog was wearing a collar but there was no tags.

As I was standing there calling the police, a women pulled up, at first I thought she might be the owner, but it turns out her husband hit the dog while driving their kids to work. Apparenty he was very upset/shaken and could not stop with the kids, he called her to see if she could go see if there was anything that could be done. She also called the Police and as we were talking a squad pulled up. Hopefully the Police can check for micro chip to let the owner know. Heaven forbid anything ever happen, but I would rather know then always wondering what happened to one of my dogs.

I know I am a big sap, and it doesn't really suprise me how much I am affected by this, very sad and shaken, and I just stopped to try to help after the fact. I would be an absolute mess if I ever hit any animal, especially a dog or cat.

Tonight, I am going to go home a hug everyone of my pups, even Rugar, and make sure all of their tags are on their collars and are up to date.
