We have had a beautiful fall here with lots of warm days and sunshine. This was in early October on a Friday afternoon. We rode bikes to the big neighborhood park and the kids spent time playing on the playground. My kids are obsessed with the monkey bars and they all took turns showing me how good they were at it
.
The other thing that happened this day was when we got home from the park, we got a phone call from someone who had found our dog out wandering. He was quite far away from the house, and we didn't even know he had gotten out. Corey had been home earlier and gone to work and I'm pretty sure Snoopy was still in the yard when Corey left, so we guessed that right after Corey left, somebody had let Snoopy in the house and then left the door to the garage open and he got out. Westley said that while we were at the park, he had seen a dog on the other side of the park that looked like Snoopy, but he thought Snoopy was in the yard, just like I did (and I saw a dog too that looked like Snoopy). We are so glad that Snoopy was wearing his collar (sometimes we take it off him for Jonah's naps and forget to put it back on) and that somebody was kind enough to take him in and not leave him roaming on the streets and then call us after looking at his tags. We have certainly done that enough times, bringing in a stray dog with a collar and license and calling the number for the owner that we felt this was truly Karma. It was definitely an adventure for the evening!

We put a small rare earth magnet in between the tags on our dog's collar to keep it from jingling. Maybe you could try that so he doesn't wake Jonah? I'm assuming that's why you take the collar off sometimes. And I'm glad someone found him!
Good idea! And yes, that's why we take his collar off. Inevitably, it will be the second we are quietly closing Jonah's door after putting him down asleep that Snoopy will come up right next to us and shake, and his jingling tags wake up Jonah. It's seriously annoying. But I will have to try that and see if it helps.
