breakdown in communication

i should be posting photos of our dog and not claire, my parents pooch.

but wait.  what dog?  apparently i was hasty in thinking that we have a sweet little pooch since she broke away from me twice today, and the second time, well, i can't find her.

and after melting down while looking for her, causing thomas to come all the way home from work, going and looking again, driving to the humane society, filling out a form, asking anyone and everyone in the neighborhood about her, well, we still have no dog.

i, am apparently incapable of taking care of a dog.  and now i sit here and i am worried that she is cold, hungry, lonely, sad, hurt or worse.  she is so sweet and adorable and i get to go to the humane society in the morning and take the tour of all the strays, which breaks my heart.  so, i have had a rough day and to be quite honest, i don't want to talk about it.
