Back to Christmas

I know there were things I did not share about our Christmas trip. More of the downer things, or concerning things. My sister-in-law and I got in her van to go pick up a take out lunch, and we began to drive and heard an awful yelping. A little Yorkie type dog had been curled up against her tire, out of sight. No collar, very scared. If anyone is able to work with a dog or any other animal, it is my husband Bob, so I alerted him. He got bitten in three places trying to get the dog out of its new hiding place, against the tire of another of my brother's cars. Glad to say it did not get infected. The guys, Bob and my brother called animal control. They came out and gently removed the injured animal. The dog was bleeding, we suspect it was hiding under the car to get away from a bigger animal that had attacked it. It had been able to walk to hide under the next car and we do not believe it was badly hurt. It is a shame it was out running the streets on its own, though. The other not so great thing is that the brakes went out on our Monte Carlo as we were almost home. Hubby has been working so he gets home when there is not much daylight left to work on the car. Glad to say he finished the brake job today, but while he had the car jacked up we saw a piece that was damaged and we had to go get a replacement for it. He hopes to get more car stuff done after church tomorrow. So there is the not so good part of Christmas. It still was not bad, we are still healthy and safe.
