Fur Is The New Black

My father-in-law is visiting and he brought his dog Rico to play with our dog Lulu. We all went out to a movie and dinner and came home to find our front door wide open and the dogs gone.

Over the course of the panicked evening, we pieced together what happened:

There wasn’t a burglary. The door just didn’t lock all the way when we left.
The dogs made their way to the neighborhood pool (no doubt, led there by Lulu looking for the boys).
They stumbled upon a bunch of people having a pool party and hung out with them for the majority of the night.
Rico even joined the younger party-goers in the pool.
They happily ate hotdogs and chips fed to them.
Some of the party folks took them door-to-door in the neighborhood looking for the owners, but never made it to our house. (And even if they had, they would’ve found an empty house with an open door.)
The party folks called animal control, who picked them up.
As animal control was taking them back to the lock-up, we were heading home. We probably passed the truck on the way.

All of the above info was discovered after we’d searched the whole neighborhood (Wyatt and I even scaled a fence to search the nearby golf course). The company that operates Lulu’s microchip called us and put us in touch with the local animal control, who were super-helpful.

So basically, Lulu and Rico snuck out at night, went to a party, and then got picked up by the cops. They spent the night in jail and we had to bail them out this morning. They are SO grounded!

You know what this means: With this scandal in her past, Lulu will never be able to run for office.
