I quickly "painted" this portrait in Photoshop this morning for a card that I'm giving to a neighborhood kid...
Anthony, my next door neighbor, sprang into action yesterday afternoon when my newly-adopted dog, Sugar, escaped. I was removing two grocery bags from the car, Sugar and my ole' dog Ayla both in the back seat. All it took was a second for Sugar to jump. We live in a city 'hood where drivers like to hit the gas on our street, using it as a cut-through. It's a scary place for a dog to be running off-leash!
Not only did Anthony jump on his bicycle and follow Sugar down the street, but he corralled the other neighborhood kids, keeping them from getting too excited and scaring Sugar into a faster sprint. The two of us managed to encircle Sugar in a neighbor's yard (which is dangerously close to the busiest street in our neighborhood). Anthony jumped off his bike and used it as a blockade in the driveway while I came 'round the other side and hooked Sugar on her leash. Heart attack! Heart attack! Heart attack! Thank you-thank you-thank you Anthony, and all the other kids who helped me!
I will NOT repeat that mistake, ever again.
