We put her out to go potty a few nights ago, and when we went to let her back in, she wasn't out there. We searched for her but so far, no Lexi. I believe someone's picked her up and took her home with them. :( She's never made a move to go outside of the gate.
I was laying in bed last night reading, and at about 2 a.m., I heard a puppy crying, so I got up and shot out onto the porch, thinking she'd found her way back home, but it wasn't Lexi. Instead it was this big furball, a bear of a puppy with the teeniest face, so odd looking, I thought maybe in the dark I wasn't seeing right.. it looked more like a strange wild kind of animal, thick black hair, I swear it's girth was about 2 feet round, and it was about a foot tall.. but it's little face wasn't 4 inches broad or long. Wierdest pup I've ever seen.
It was standing by my window just crying and I called it up to the porch, it came without being shy.. and I pet its head, but it still just didnt' look like a dog to me. Anyway.. I got it quieted down, I didn't want it to wake the girls, and Maegan is such a light sleeper.. and I left the porch light on for it.. didn't want to bring it inside, it was filthy and smelled awful. It laid down by the porch swing, and the next thing I knew it was squalling again.. so I got back up and went to look and it was literally throwing itself against the neighbor's screen door. I looked out there for it this morning but it's gone.
