Took the dogs to class like I always do on Tuesdays. Fynn and I are working better together now. Joker was great like always. Went and picked up some dog food and got Samantha some ice cream for being good in class.
Start to head for home. 3 miles from the house I hear a POP and the Explorer starts swearving all over the road. Luckily for me no other cars were behind me or going the oposite directions. Got the car barely off the road. Would have liked to have gotten it a little more off to the side but couldnt get it to budge. Put it in neutral and it still wouldnt budge. Put it in reverse still wouldnt budge. I am not a car person. I dont even know how to change the oil,spark plugs, or a tire on a car.
All the lights in the near by houses are all off. I do the only thing I can think of. Grabbed the dogs and Samantha locked the doors and start walking.
Did I mention it is also raining?!!! Oh and Im walking on a road that every other vehicle is a Semi?
We walk and walk and walk and walk. Cars pass left and right. I look down at the boys who are doing so well and not pulling me and think to myself that their the reason I am not getting a ride. I look over at Samantha who has not complained one bit or constantly asking me to pick her up and start cussing under my breath at every car that passes.
Finally a van pulls over. If it had been just the boys with me I would have sucked it up and walked the next 3 miles home. But I had to take the chance and get Samantha out of the rain.
A trucker person had radioed a budy of his(the van owner) and asked him where he was. He said he was in town and the trucker asked him to go looking for me. So he did.
Of all the people that passed me a guy in town drove 8 miles out of the way to come looking for me in the rain to give me a ride to wherever I was going. He agreed that if I hadnt had the dogs I would have been picked up sooner.
Well I wasnt about to leave them in the car. I didnt have no way to go get them until the morning if I had done that. So we all started walking home. I mean what's 4 miles? We do that all the time in the summer. Hehe 4 miles is alot when it's winter,dark,and pouring down rain.
Thank you man in the van!! I'd still be walking home if it werent for him.
