I hope the owners aren't too upset about the situation with the dog. It would be nice if they offered to help pay for the bill..

@JudyEv That is decent of them. Considering you guys actually caused the dog problem, although you had no clue THAT would happen.

We were in touch with the owners when it happened. They think it got the hayseed before they left but I don't think that's the case. In any event, they will foot the bill so we won't be out of pocket.

@snowy22315 We don't consider we caused the problem. We were allowed to walk them if we wanted to. It was just bad luck that she picked up the hayseed.

Yes I remember those mirrors being the rage. I even had one back in the "good old days"

I don't have any idea where it went and probably gave it away one of the times I moved.

Some of these items are more like 'crazes' and everyone wants one then something else comes along to take its place.

@allknowing He was certainly let out for a run but he can't be trusted not to run away so it was safest for us to go with him. He was off the leash until we got nearly home again then we'll put him on the least so he couldn't run off.

There are lots of surfaces that could catch the dust. So, on reflection, you're not too keen on it?
