Find a Penny...

We got our dog, Penny, back! We are so happy! How did we get her back? Well, here's the story, I'll call it the Curious Case of the Missing Penny. If you recall, our little dog went missing on November 11. She just vanished without a trace. We had given up hope until last week when I saw a picture of a dog on my Facebook News Feed. It was posted by someone I was friends with but didn't know. They sent me a friend request a while back and since we had 40 mutual friends, I accepted even though I didn't know them. The picture had the description, "Our baby Cami!, November 14, 2010." As soon as I saw the picture I knew it was her. I compared pictures I had of Penny to the pictures of this dog and all the markings matched up. I decided that I needed to find out if this was our dog or not. I started by looking in the phone book. I found one name that matched, so I jotted down the address. I told my mom about it the next morning. I stayed with the kids while she rode out to the address. She saw the dog in the yard, and she also was convinced that it was Penny. The lady saw my mom in the yard and came out. She said she had gotten the dog from her uncle. My mom came home and told me this. I decided to call the sheriff, because we were so sure it was her. The sheriff paid a visit to the lady, and she told him she found the dog on the side of the road, a road that is 20 miles from our house! I don't know why the lady told my mom a different story. Maybe, she just didn't want to have to give the dog up. Anyway, that day they took down their Facebook page. Curious... Then the next day, their page was back up minus the pictures of the puppy. Curiouser.... I printed out pictures of the puppy and gave them to the Sheriff. I had plenty of pictures of her from all different angles since she was always getting into the frame when I took my outfit pictures. I knew all these outfit pictures would come in handy someday! Fast forward a week later. The Sheriff finally went to their house tonight and compared the puppy to the pictures. It was definitely her, and we have her back home! Apparently, the people were really upset about letting her go. I'm sorry for that, but we have been upset too, and she was our dog that we bought and paid for. So, that's the story. Crazy, huh?

So, today's outfit was very casual and comfortable. I had a horrible headache all day and just generally didn't feel well, so I wanted to wear something comfy. I called customer service about my dress last night. They are going to try and track one down at a store for me. So, we'll see. Did anybody get anything at the sale today? My husband let me order one thing to put under the tree since it has been on my wishlist for awhile now. It's the Musamman Tote. I saw it in a store awhile back and fell in love with it. It was sold out online. I had to call 3 stores, but finally tracked one down. It's on it's way to me from Los Angeles.

Well, we've decided to let Penny stay inside from now on. This ought to be interesting. LOL! She's in bed with the kids right now. You know what they say, "Find a penny, pick it up, and all day long you'll have good luck." In this case, we definitely had some good luck!
