HELP ME FIND A MISSING FRIEND [link]

Fanart ideas, if you ever feel inclined [link]

Something interesting happened last Saturday, and since I have nothing better to do I'm going to regale you with it

So it's Saturday evening and I'm at my usual spot (rightchere on the computer) when I hear a lot of barking outside. This comes as no surprise, as our two dogs yap up a storm every time someone walks down the alley, and while there's more barking than usual I pay it no heed. Then later I leave The Lair to stretch my legs, and quickly run into my sister... with a Jack Russell Terrier pup in her arms.

Apparently she was what stirred up all that barking, then my mom and sister brought her in assuming she was lost. Em dubbed her "Honeybritches" ( "You're a bit too tough to be called 'Sweetpea'" ). We kept her down in the basement with us because she was all too willing to pick a fight with the girls (seems like a common trait with Jack Russells to me) where Emily spoiled her rotten with pampering.

After a bit I surfaced to get Mom and Grandpa's take on the matter. Mom was trying to get in touch with the pound about missing animals, and told me that since Derby and Sasha were a bit wound up by the new fuzzball, a walk would do them good. Couldn't really refute that, so I got their leashes and collars on and took them out.

Derby took to the walk with a little less enthusiasm than normal, and Sasha flat-out refused to move. I nearly had to drag her down the block when a car passed by and suddenly pulled up to me. "Have you seen a white--" "Jack Russell? Yup, follow me."

So I lead the guy back home (stopping to scoop at one point) where Honeybritches, real name being Lola, was overjoyed. Her owner thanked us profusely and took the little scamp up in his arms, and Derby and Sasha breathed a sigh of relief. Don'tcha just love happy endings?

Speaking of happy endings, I might be nearing one myself. Just got back from a promising job interview at a shop in the mall, so I may actually be employed again! Holy crap! Keeping my fingers crossed on this one...
