Subject: Gee Whiz.........Do I look like the dogcatcher?!

I took Lulu for a walk this morning and took the car (so we could drive to a cooler place - it's HOT here).
We do our thing, we're about a block from home and I see the Big Guy walking Mack. Hot on Mack's heels are 3 white dustmops. I stopped the car, yelled at Vern to stop (as they were close to a very busy street) and approached the flying dustmops. They came right to me and I gathered up an armful and put them in the van (Lulu thought that was wayyyy cool) where they thought they should terrorize Lulabelle. After I gave the Big Guy a piece of my mind for not doing anything....I found the tags on the 3 little guys and found their home. Nobody home - back gate open. I put them in their yard, made sure the gate was closed securely and told the neighbors on each side what happened. Boy were they cute!!
That's not the end of my saga.......
I drive a couple of blocks and see a young GSD very close to the same busy street looking confused. My first thought was he had been dumped, my immediate second thought was "that's Ace!" He's a young male we often see when walking Mack and Lulu. He's as cute as can be, very playful but is getting bolder and bolder at following us home. He's not quite a year old.
This capture wasn't as easy as he was close to me but in a place I couldn't quickly drive to (a dead end with this very busy street on the other side of the dead-end fence). I had to get on the busy street, make a U-Turn, park and chase him down as he was going under an underpass........I used Lulu for bait. Managed to get two very excited, strong dogs in the van and drove the mile or so to return Ace to his home.
His home backs up to a long stretch of wild area and though his large yard is fenced...but there is NO gate, just an opening. To make it worse I was told "yeah, his brother got hit on the other road in front of the house" (another very busy street).
The family wasn't home but I talked with someone working in the yard and told him "TELL THEM TO GATE THAT BACK YARD!!!"
Harumphh and grrrrrrr.
