A buddy gave me a ride from work, even stopped at the beer store, got an official receipt for the painting he had done in my house I can submit with rent, all good. Then came in back yard, no Walter, and back fence is flat on the ground... It had been saggin in for a while, but didnt do preventive mntce. Posted lost pet report on Petlynx.net, thats what you do. Then went out, called him a few times, and proceeded to fix the fence. Out there pounding nails into struts to hold it up, along comes this pleasant bottle picker on a bike, with a skimpy haul in his bag. 'Hey is that your German Shepherd?' Halfway down the alley, maybe 6 houses down comes Walter, strolling along sniffing things, nonchalant. Welcomed him home, instructed him to Stay HOME, but could hardly blame him, with the fence down. Rounded up bottle buddy about 30 cans , which pleased him. He informed me he doesnt drink, this was for housing, so I guess he is in a single men's shelter or something. Nice guy, said he would keep an eye out for Walter in future and bring him home if reqd.
So, stress, resolution, now time to relax.. Empty some more cans for buddy on the bike.
note: ' Jaysus on a boike! ' is an east coast Canadian expression. But seemed apropos for my new buddy, finder of dogs, if not souls.
