Good Deeds

This isn't really my story but I will tell it anyway .. last friday Mom was heading into PG ... she was about half way when she sees this dog weaving in and out of traffic ... my Mom being the animal saver she is, decides it's her duty to RISK her life to save this helpless dog ..... since this lady does not fail at anything .. she finally captures this poor dog. Now what??? .. that's when Linden and I come into the picture .. we were at home watching .... PRICE IS RIGHT, of course .. it is only 8am .. when the phone rings .. Mom tells me the story and that she took the dog to the local store/cafe .. got it some sausages and water .. she looked up the lost and found in the local newspaper and the first ad is for a dog that's description is EXACTLY the same as the dog she found .. she calls the number ...a gentleman answers .. he agrees that it might be his dog until Mom says it has a long tail .. the guy on the phone says that his dog has a curly tail .. it can't be his .. soo Mom is in a panic that she has this NEW dog .. She asks me to call the radio stations... I always do as I'm told .. meanwhile she starts driving back to the Hoof with OUR new dog! Linden LOVES the new dog .. and the dog was soo good with kids .. ! After about 1/2 hour the dog seems to be doing great .. sleeping up on the leather furniture ... then BANG ... the long tail is no longer LONG .. it's CURLY ... I say to Mom "Call that guy back and ask if he has email .. i will take a picture of this dog and send it to him" ...(who said we didn't learn anything from Inspector Gadget) of course the phone is busy for over 1 hour .. Mom is getting impatient and is sure that this dog belongs with this guy that she called earlier .... so I get my "Nancey Drew" cap on again .. do a reverse look-up and find the guys name and address ... Mom takes off with Linden (cause he wasn't letting this dog go without him) and I stay at home and continue to try to call this guy .... FINALLY I get through .. he has email .. I send the picture and not even 10 minutes later he calls me back .. "YOU FOUND ROXY " .. I could have cried ... I said "YAHOO .. I'm soooo happy that we found your dog ... which he replied .. not as happy as we are !!" .. the guy was a little emotional .. so cute ... Next I get on the phone to Mom .... tell her the directions to this guys house and she safely returned ROXY!Turns out that Roxy had been missing for 6 days ... the family was so happy and now the lady of the house is trying to reward Mom with a nice dinner in PG or something.. she couldn't believe that Mom would do all this and spend her whole day for one small little dog .... Mom just told her ... all I want you to do is PAY IT FORWARD .... !!!! Do you have goose bumps .. such a nice story hey!!!!

Now this is the weird part .... Ryan didn't know this story cause he was hunting .. but when he got home late Sunday night he says .. "Hun I did a good deed today" ....

This poor 70+ year old Man was stuck on the side of the road with a flat tire .. Ryan stopped and changed his tire for him .. the man asks Ryan what he can pay him ... Ryan answered "Nothing, I just ask that if you come along someone that needs help .. you do the same"

Weird or what?!?!?!?

Wow, that's so sweet of both Ryan and you mom. That's really very cool. It sounds like one of those emails that go around the internet about a million times - you know the ones: a man fixes an old lady's tire then the old lady gives a pregnant waitress a $100 tip then the pregnant waitress goes home to her trailer and her husband was the one that changed the tire..... Ahhhh... heart warming.

Very sweet stories...though not surprising at all. That's the kind of people you and your family are. Kind, generous, warm-hearted and unselfish. Good Karma!
