I had the most surreal phone conversation this morning. First, my phone rings, and a weird number appears, it has "011" before it and at first I thought it was an international call. I'll transcribe the conversation as best as I can remember it:

Becca: Hello. Who is this?

Jen: Its Jen.

Becca: [thinking hard over who would call me from an international number]Jen, who? O'meara?"

Jen: No [stupid], its Jen Mendeck. [as it turns out they just got new cell phones]

Becca: Oh, that makes much more sense than Jen O'Meara.

Jen: So, are you home now?

Becca: Nope, I'm at work.

Jen: Well, you'll never believe who's sitting at my doorstep.

Becca: What are you talking about?

Jen: Well, my dogs started barking, and I went out to look what's going on, and there are a very wet Bennet and Apache sitting at my front door

Becca: No WAY!

Jen: Yeah, and they're soaked

Becca: [confused - because it was a crystal clear blue sky] Is it raining out?

Jen: No. No it isn't. Anyway, your dogs are in my back yard now.

Becca: [flash of realization] Where is Dixie?

Anyway, to make a long story short, Cari was home, so she went and collected the dogs from Jen. We are assuming before traveling the several blocks over to the Mendeck's house, they stopped for a swim in the drainage ditch that I let them swim in sometimes. As it turns out Dixie was sitting on our house's front stoop, also soaking wet. So, it was a day-out for the dogs.
