This morning when I was taking Maddy to school we saw a dog on the side of the freeway. We moved to the other lane and drove on by, hoping it wouldn't get hit by the next oncoming car. So, I dropped off Maddy then I took Talan to preschool. Ryan and I got home 40 minutes later and there was the dog across the street! This poor dog was starving as you can see by his ribs poking out. So I lured him into the backyard with some water and cat food and then I called animal control.
I put Ryan in the house and started playing frisbee and catch with him. It was amazing how much happier he was. After I decided that this dog wasn't dangerous I let Ry come out and play. He fed the dog some granola bars and then we found some hot dogs. He reminded me of Ralphie from the Christmas story, when his mom said "show me how a piggy eats." So I named him Ralphie. 
I kind of forgot about animal control until I heard a knock on the door. And now he is gone..... and we are sad. He was such a fun dog, I'm sad the rest of the fam didn't get to meet him.
Bye Ralphie.
