I am not allowed to have kids…

Monday night I fell asleep on the couch and woke up about 1:30 in the morning. Half asleep, I managed to peel myself off the couch and I took Neela outside for her pre-bed walk.

I live on the 2nd floor and she walked downstairs over to the patch of grass with out me (she does this often but never runs off). So I was standing on the upper landing of the building bored as she did her thing.

I started messing around with my outside thermometer because it hasn’t been transmitting the temperature to my inside unit. Once I realized I didn’t have the brain power to deal with the problem…I went inside and climbed into bed.

7:00am the following morning I’m in bed asleep and I hear Neela bark. But it sounded like it was coming from outside. I laid there for 5 minutes before I decided I should make sure she’s inside.

She wasn’t. It seems I left her outside all night. Fortunately she seems to have just slept outside in front of the door on the upper landing. She could have gone anywhere…but she’s such a great dog, she just hung out waiting for me to realize she wasn’t inside.

The moral of the story…I won’t ever have kids. I’m sure I’ll set the car carrier on the roof of my Jeep and then drive off. I wonder if Thule makes a baby basket for my roof rack…
