A Little Moore: We're back!

We're back!

It's been a rough month for this family, but more on that some other time. All you need to know right now is that, we.are.back. and ready to party. If by "party" you mean to stay up late enough to watch Mad Men then,...maybe, if I can sleep in the next day.
A little story of the moment:
Like I said, it's been a rough month, and all of us were affected...even Pumpkin. She's had some bladder issues, and because of it, we have to take her out all of the time.
Yesterday, we went to the park, and we played for probably an hour and 45 minutes. We came back, and Ruthie was excited to see Punkers and take her out. I called for her to go potty, and usually, she comes a runnin'. She didn't. I checked the bedrooms, she was nowhere. So, of course, in my mind, it means my dog was stolen by some monster of a person who also (probably) rifled through my underwear drawer and is also wearing all of my jewelry as we speak, probably - though the door was locked and the alarm still set. I ran outside screaming her name. My neighbor came out holding her. Thank.Goodness. Nobody went through my undies drawer. And my dog is safe.
I guess, as we were leaving the house to go to the park, we left the door open for more than 10 seconds (which occasionally happens.) Somehow, Pumpkin thought this was her cue to go outside and go potty, and bolted for it. We didn't know. Luckily, she is a scaredy dog and stayed around. Also, we are blessed with awesome neighbors who scooped her up and dog sat her until we were home. Hopefully, she learned her lesson and didn't learn to love the taste of freedom...hopefully. I also learned that I must love my dog more than I think I do...
