It rained this morning so I figured I'd walk the dogs this evening, but at about the time we would have set out they started up the kind of barking that could mean only one thing - a dog had walked up the driveway to the gate.

Yup. A cute little min pin male, not neutered, in fairly good shape, though he must have been in the woods. He had some ticks and a lot of fleas. I walked him around the neighborhood, no one recognized him. I put an ad on Craig's List, a fellow in the next town over offered to take him, but I think a couple of neighbors are interested. I'll take him to my vet in the morning and see if he has a chip. I could drop him at the Humane Society otherwise, they have a 3-day "lost animal" area, and then I'm sure he'd be put up for adoption. He likes dogs, isn't bothered by cats. I don't think he travelled far to get here, so I hope his owner is looking for him. I think a sign down at the bridge tomorrow morning would be appropriate.

I washed the little guy them set up the kennel outside the side door, and put some towels in for sleeping on. It is warm at night here, he'll be fine. Tomorrow morning we'll see about finding his next place if we don't find his current home.

Meanwhile, tomorrow I also need to work on that chandelier. The crystal I ordered arrived, it is nicer than any of the rest, but it lets me advertise it as a complete set, and buying one that is a correct match for the price I paid is just as good as buying several mis-matched crystals at a similar or higher price.
