I've been over at the Donneberg's the last few nights watching thier dog for them. Last night didn't go to well though. I was taking Jake for his last walk before closing up for the night. I leashed him up and we started running down the street (it was about midnight at the time). I think I scared one of the nieghbors and he though I was a thief or something.. so he came at me with a flashlight telling me to stop. I was pretty scared at the thought of a guy with a flashlight coming after me he could have had a gun for all I knew.. so I stopped! But Jake was still running full bore after I stopped and he got to the end of his leash and pulled it taught.. then all of a sudden his collar slipped right off of him. I yelled after him but I still had the neighbor coming at me so there wasn't much else I could do. So Jake just keeps on running down the street. I talked to the nieghbor and he intergated me for a minute or so to figure out who I was.. after getting everything resolved with him We still had the problem of Jake somewhere in the neighborhood without a collar and at 12:30 in the morning. He tried to help me find him for a bit but we couldn't really do much since it was so Dark. He felt really bad because he felt like it was partly his fault. There wasn't much else he could do though so he pretty much just went back home. I did invite him to church before he left though. Once we parted ways I got in the car and drove around for about 10-15 minutes trying to spot Jake somewhere I had no luck though. I just returned to the house and waited and prayed for awhile.. but eventually it got to be around 3:00am and I couldn't wait for him any longer because I needed sleep, I still had classes this morning. So I ended up just getting some blankets and sleeping right next to the door waiting for him to come back. Finally after falling asleep I heard Jake scratching on the door at around 4:30. (I had left the main door open and just had the glass door shut). I was glad to see him there.. but He knew he was in trouble. Praise the Lord for answered prayer.. I didn't want to have to call the D-bergs and tell them I lost thier dog. That would not have been good. So anyway, thats how my first night watching the dog went. I had to survive the day today off of very little sleep, Its a good thing I had all my tests done now though, and today was a little bit of a relaxing class day because of that. I still had a full day of work after school though. After work I came back to the D-berg's and I've been here ever since just haning out. Jonathan came over tonight too and he will stay the night with me. Charlie and John came over for a bit as well but they left around 10. We watched "Cat in the Hat" and "50 first dates" I've also been doing tons of laundry while I am here. The last load is in right now. So anyway.. thats what I've been up to. I am pretty tired now though so I can't write anymore. Good night.
