ARRESTED!

We returned home Thanksgiving afternoon to this scene!
There were 7 police vehicles in our little court. 
We could not even get to our driveway.
We parked at the end of the street & walked to our house.
We asked one of the officers what was going on.
He said there had been two arrests with the suspects currently in 2 of the police vehicles.
 
We had to let Charlie out, so proceeded into the house. 
While I walked Charlie Jim asked our neighbor for more details.

One of the suspects is in the back seat of this car.
Apparently a car had come speeding into the court, parked in a neighbor's drive & 2 people got out & started walking around the neighbor's house.  Another neighbor saw the suspicious actions & called the police. 
Many police cars arrived on the scene plus dogs plus a helicopter. 
One suspect was apprehended quickly.  After some time the second suspect was apprehended.  This all happened 2-3 hours before we arrived home. 
We missed all the excitement!
It took another 2-3 hours to wrap up the details & haul the suspect's car away.
 
I guess it's a good thing we had Charlie, the watch dog, to keep an eye on things while we were gone. 
The suspects might have picked our house to check out if Charlie had not scared them off!

Meet Charlie Brown


This is Charlie Brown!

We are dog sitting while Charlie's family is out of town for Thanksgiving.
It has been an adjustment for Charlie & for us.
It has been over a year since our beloved Thor crossed over the Rainbow Bridge.  We have missed having a dog in the house!
Charlie is quite the mama's boy!
He follows me everywhere & whines when I am out of his sight.
I am enjoying having Charlie & will miss him when he returns to his family.

Thanksgiving Dinner

We had this visitor the other day. 
Gobble, gobble, gobble!
 
 
In true prepper spirit we decided what would be
on the Thanksgiving dinner menu. 
Yum!!
 
Tom Turkey eventually wandered over to the neighbor's pool.
We didn't hang around to watch Tom Turkey take a swim.
