I'm so proud!

I just came home from taking my son to get his first drivers license, when
we pull into the driveway I see (note there is still snow on the ground) a
wide open door.
no dogs in sight, and the furnace going a thousand miles an hour.
My heart went to my knees. all four dogs...
Asleep on my bed.I don't know who I am prouder of, my son for acing the

owner's car returning, ran back home and sacked out so they would get
treats for being good dogs instead of getting trouble for being bad
dogs. Not that I know any dogs who would do that or anything.

Delightful story. I think your son and all the doggies deserve a special
treat. And you do too ... something in the universe must have been aligned
just right for you!!
