why ppl don't have pets...

so cody is getting old and i think she is deaf. well, last night, nick called her to come in and she didn't come... didn't come and he couldn't see/find her anywhere. so because his shoes are already off, he reasons that i should go out and look for her. i take the flashlight, only to realize that the battery is dead because of forgot to recharge it. well.. almost dead. the light would work for like ... 5 seconds, and then die. so i would shine it quick and try to peer into the black gloom of darkness that was our yard.

nothing.

nick is yelling, "cody!!!"

i'm yelling, "cody!"

no cody.

so i'm stumbling around the yard, but its pitch black outside and i can't see where to put my foot, let alone, if a great big dog is hiding somewhere. i manage not to trip and go back to the house. i tell nick that i can't see anything, so looking is pointless.

he's coming out to help at this point... and we both stumble around... nothing

finally, after about half an hour of this, i hear something. its the tinkling of her dog tag, cuz she's shaking. a few seconds later, she emerges from the shadows between the two garages... acting totally innocent.

"what?" her look seemed to say.

nice...

i love dogs.
