The most terrible dog ever

Today while I was nursing Bethany upstairs in our bedroom, Zoya started screaming bloody murder downstairs. I have never heard her scream as dreadfully as I did this time. Her footsteps raced up to my room alongside her nonstop yelling, while I tried like crazy to unlatch the baby and get myself all put back together. I saw sheer terror in Zoya's eyes as she collapsed onto our bed. Oh my sweet Lord I thought. What has happened?? I honestly assumed she had seen an accident in our parking lot involving a child, or was attacked, or was almost kidnapped or something.

"MOM! THE MOST TERRIBLE THING HAPPENED!"

"WHAT HAPPENED?!?" I demanded, as the baby glared at me indignantly and began yelling at me too (her lunch being interrupted).

"A DOG CAME INTO OUR HOUSE!!!"

More inner dialogue. Is Loki here?? (My sis-in-law's dog Loki is bigger than all my kids put together. Did she bring him by?)

Suddenly, in walks--into our bedroom upstairs, mind you--the most adorable little doggie. And you know I'm not a huge dog person, but this was the sweetest little dog I'd ever seen. He immediately jumped into my arms and seemed completely at home. I was totally confused at this point, doubtful that Jen would get such a tiny dog to go with her great big dog.

But still, Zoya needed to calm down. "Look, Zoya." She began to warm to the little dog, which still seemed rather shocking to have in our house but was not nearly as scary as she originally deemed it to be. I left the baby with Zoya to watch for a few moments while I found my husband. Apparently, the dog had approached them outside and Psalm, being the sweet dog-lover that he is, decided to adopt the dog right then and there and opened up the door to let him in.

After awhile of wandering through my neighborhood, I then found another dog of similar size and stature looking unsupervised and lost. Another woman helped by scooping up the second dog and reading the tag, which had a phone number (the first dog didn't have a tag). We called the owner who was very grateful to get her dogs back. Psalm was sad to have lost his new pet. I myself began wondering about yorkies...what cuties!
