how much is that doggie in my backyard?

today, we got a visit from our favorite local stray dog. she’s not really a stray, but she kinda goes where she wants and we don’t exactly know where she’s living anymore. her name is canela and she is a beautiful mix breed. she’s got dark brownish short fur with some white on her chest, neck, and paws. this is the first time i’ve seen her without her collar, so i wasn’t sure it was her, but then she responded to her name, which pretty much convinced me. i intended on leaving her in the backyard, but she can easily jump 3 feet vertically from a standing position. she was gone and on her way. she seems to like to roam around. i’m going to go searching for her with daisy tomorrow and if we find her, we’re bringing her back for good. if her owners can’t keep track of her or even keep a collar on her, then dammit, they don’t deserve to have her.
