Spirk (with a small dose of Pinto)

Monday night I had s strange occurrence happen to me.
My husband and I went to a memorial mass for my Dad in the evening. My oldest daughter, who had traveled upstate for s Monday afternoon doctor’s appointment, didn’t feel she could emotionally handle the mass.
We returned to the house to pick my daughter up. Then as we were leaving the house to bring her back down to Brooklyn, we encountered a small, very scruffy, curly-haired black dog circling on the road. It had no collar, walking incessantly in tight circles, with its nose down like a hound on the scent. Bumping into things, as it walked, so apparently it was blind. We knocked on a few doors to ask if anyone knew who it belonged to. No one recognized it. We called the animal control people and the police. I followed it with my phone’s flashlight turned on, as it circled and circled and circled… mostly on the road. Never once sitting down or stopping. As I circled along with it, waiting for its rescuer to come, my daughter and my husband flagged down the occasional passing car to slow down. A police woman arrived and took a video to send to the potential rescuers on their way. She stayed till she got another call. Then a seemingly endless time later, a truck with two animal control people arrived. They said it was an old blind dog that was lost and stressed. They took it to get cleaned up and fed and would look for a microchip in the morning. Hope it finds its home.
Needless to say, travel to Brooklyn had to wait till the morning. At least my daughter’s class wasin the afternoon.

Oh and the police woman who had arrived in the midst of this, must have been a comedian. She asked my daughter if I had a Fitbit on?! My daughter replied that yes I did. Buncha comedians. 🤷🏻‍♀️😬
