Bless his heart, DS#2 is a pack rat. he is ALWAYS hauling home junk he gets for free. I have had to physically restrain him from bringing home free couches set out in people's driveways on MANY occasions.
Well, Wednesday, we had new carpet installed in our lower level, so we had to stay out on the porch for most of the day. I decided to take Gyspy for a walk and snet DSs to the burrito stand up the street to buy dinner. I was gone for about twenty minutes.
When I got back, I noticed a new...thing on the yard (I was two blocks away). At first, I figured it was something the carpet layers needed. When I got closer, I saw that it was a nearly new 400 size dog crate!!! It was taken apart or I would have recognized it immediately. It had a FREE sign taped to it. it turns out they got it from the church "bank" up the street (it is a place when many churches help folks who need clothes, furniture, etc.--stuff is donated and they give it to needy families). They always have a "free" pile outside and this was in it!!! WAHOOO--it even has wheels on it!!!
