Perhaps Sharpie?


Today I had science and health finals. Health will probably be an A or B, but science maybe a B or C.
Since school gets out at 12 pm now for finals week, everybody hasn't eaten because why bring a lunch? So everybody's edgy and wants to just get home. Only the bus drivers don't get there until 12:30 pm so we have to wait around for a half hour. Really boring. You meet a lot of interesting people by just joining their circle and asking for a bite of their sandwich. Very nice and generous band kids.
Once the bus was finally there I was happy. Agitated but happy.
So I eventually get home and what do I find waiting for me, but what appears to be a pitbull in my backyard, fenced in, barking at me and Fletch as we reach the front yard. On the front door is a note that reads, " Dog in Back yard. Don't Let her out. -D.M. Chicken is in coop! "
So I call dad and ask him why there's a dog in our yard and he just simply says. "It's a Shar-pei!"

While out on a job, he was working on a house near some woods. The owners of the house said that some dog had been abandoned in the woods and that they were going to take her to the pound soon. My dad just told them "I have some kids who want a dog. I'll take her."
Now, I don't know if you know this, but Shar-Pei's are supposed to be very wrinkly and fat. This girl was skin and bones, but somehow managed to have wrinkles. Her tail has like ten fat rolls on it, but no fat. You would understand if you saw her. I think we should name her after the Michelin tire man, seeing as she has the same look going on. Basically the story goes, the Miller's now have officially rescued an abandoned dog, still unnamed.
I think if I ever apply to work at somewhere like an animal shelter or heck, a dog wash place, I can now put on my transcript that I've rescued an abandoned animal. I'll post pictures of her as soon as HK allows me to use her camera again.

And more chicks on the way!
