We were all of us up and about at 5 this morning, so we all went for a walk. Today is trash day and as we were walking, we dodged various containers and bags on the sidewalk. One of them had a puffy fluff of white hanging out of it, like a discarded stuffed animal. I was trying to figure out what it was and wasn't paying as much attention to keeping my dog out of the trash as I should have been. Just as Cash stuck his nose into the pile of fluff, I realized that it was white *and black* and that it was moving.
Next thing I know, Cash and I are half-way up the block and Dave and Harry are across the street. Dave and I were both doubled over with laughter, adrenalin, and relief. We paid quite a bit more attention to the trash piles after that.
