You Will Not Believe What Just Happened to Me

This has nothing to do with weight loss, but it does have to do with awesomeness! I am so amazed and happy right now!

Okay, so today was my group therapy this morning, and then I had an appointment to meet my new psychiatrist at 12:30. Well, he was over an hour late--I kid you not. I was pretty pissed and miserable, but I finally saw him. So then I'm on my way home, and I see these two dogs go running across the road a ways in front of me. At first I actually thought they might be rabbits, but I figured they were too big. So when I got closer, they were running along the side of the road (kind of--there's like a road beside the road I was on), so I took a closer look. I figured they looked like a black lab and a multicoloured American Staffordshire terrier.

See, I wouldn't have known what an American Staffordshire terrier looked like, except I googled it last night because one of my Facebook friends posted this on her wall:

ATTN: ANY FRIENDS LIVING IN OR AROUND THE TEMPLE AREA IN CALGARY THERE ARE TWO MISSING DOGS:ONE IS A 5 MONTH OLD BLACK LAB NAMED BELLA AND THE OTHER IS A MULTI COLORED BROWN AMERICAN STAFFY NAMED MOCHA...K****** AND I ARE MISSING OUR FAMILY MEMBER, WE LOST OUR DAD\GRANDPA LAST YEAR ON THIS VERY DAY, WE CAN'T LOSE OUR PUPPY ON THE SAME DAY CONTACT BJ 403-***-****

I reposted it because I know what it's like when pets escape. Turns out Bella is hers, and Mocha is her friend's (who was mad at BJ because they both escaped from her house).

So I was wondering what the heck I should do! At first I was going to go home and call BJ, but I decided I couldn't risk it, so I went to look for them. I had turned to go home, so I turned around and went back. I had to drive around a block to get to the road I saw them on. I found them trying to follow a woman into her yard, so I called at her, "Are those your dogs?" and I heard her call back "No," so I got them into my car and took them home. And then I called BJ. I was hoping, but I wasn't sure they were hers, but she came from work to get them. And they were! She was so excited!

The exceptionally weird part is that they went missing yesterday, which is the one-year anniversary of her dad's death. Her dad and my dad were best friends. She used to play with my brother when they were little. How weird is it that I would be the one to find her dogs?! And they were spotted in a COMPLETELY different area of the city this morning (I live in the SE, they were spotted in the NE). She said her daughter was mad at her grandpa (BJ's dad) because she thought he took Bella because he wanted her in Heaven, and that she cried all night last night. I'm so happy I picked them up! And that I managed to get them into my car! (It wasn't that hard). But how freakin' weird!

My poor car is full of muddy paw prints now, lol.

Oh, looky, I wrote about her dad last year.
