today my hubbie looked out the window and saw a dog running through our back yard. this is not unusual in our area but this dog had on a leash. i got hubbie to go get the dog to see if it had tags. he did. and the dog did. hubbie called the national rabies phone number on the tag. got an answer right away. they said the dogs name was trooper and gave him the owners last name and phone number. hubbie called the number. he identified himself by his first and last name and told them about having their dog. the lady said "is this *******'s dad?" hubbie said yes in a puzzled voice. he told her where he lived and she said she would be right over. from the first phone call through the last call lasted less than 5 minutes. we were kind of taken back that she knew who he was. it happened all so quick he didnt even ask. then it dawned on me. it was the neighbor who lives 1 house over from being right across the street!!!!! our kids have played together a total of 2 times. small world!!!! cute story but sad that i dont know my neighbors better!!!!! db's wife
