moonlighting..

Okay, this is literally the 5th time this has happened to me. The first few times, I had to call Animal Services for a stray, I saved a dog that was wandering around on the subway, I found a Huskie that broke off his leash and one time, I had to run after this dog down the street but I lost him.

I'm watering my lawn and my garden (don't laugh) and I see a dog trampling all over my front yard. Then he runs across the street into 4:00 PM traffic and darts in and out of people's hallways.

He then runs down to Gerrard and I run in the house. I grab some Kolbassa (don't laugh) and cut a few pieces up and stick 'em in a baggie.

I ran out and managed to stop him when he ran into the street. Cars were stopping and shit. The dog was a walking target.

I lured him with my sausage (don't laugh) and managed to sit with him and check his collar. I called the number which turned out to only be an animal clinic.

So I cabbed it over as it was probably going to be a 25 - 30 minute walk in the hot sun.

When I got there, they recognized me but they wouldn't cough up the cab fare. I was like, "Um, I don't have any money and I know you have petty cash that you can get reimbursed from the dog owner."
The manager who was surprised at how the others wouldn't pay the cab coughed it up and apologized.

I took a cab back and now I am sweaty and tired. And to think, I got off early today.

Normal human being by day, dog crusader by night.

That's my story...
