A couple of nights ago, we decided some fresh air and a walk sounded nice, so that's what we did. We put Gus's collar and leash on and headed around the block.
When we got back to our street, we started talking about this one house that we really hadn't seen much, if any, activity at. Most of the houses on the street were either built by a family, like us, or they were purchased as a spec home straight from the builder. Well, this one house in particular had a realtor's "for sale" sign in the yard for quite some time, and then a little later it had a "for lease" sign...which is pretty unusual for our area. So, our assumption was that someone had purchased it and was adding some things to lease it out to families that were only going to be here short-term. On top of that, we've never seen a moving van, a vehicle, or even so much as a light on around that house.
When we got to the house we saw that the fence was down on the side where a pool was being put it in. Since the fence was down and the back yard lights were on, we thought we'd take a peek at the pool. (Side note: It's very common in a building communities like ours for people to roam even purchased homes as they're being built) So we stroll into the back yard and look at the pool and concrete work that whoever has purchased the house has done. About that time, something catches my eye. I turn and look in the back window of the house and see what looks like the glow from a fish tank.
I said, "uh, Kyle?!" and he responded "Go! Go! Go! Run!"
He scooped up Gus and we ran as quietly as possible across the three lawns that separate our houses, hoping not to be heard or followed. We bust into our house and fall down in the foyer laughing our rears off! I can't remember the last time that we've laughed that hard.
And then we discovered the red dirt on our shoes and Gus's feet. I suppose that's what we get for trespassing ; )
