Okay so last night was karate night and as always I left at 6:20. The only things different from normal were that my dad wasn't at home when we left and that my mom and brother were going to some book thing untill 7:30 (when I get off karate).
So when karate was over mom drove my brother and I over to Shell to get drinks but when we came back to the car we saw something moving towards us. We looked closer and we relised it was our dog, Shadow, running at top speed towards us.
Now my mom and Cameron (my brother) had made sure that Shadow was in the house when they left. I opened the door to the car and he jumped in panting like crazy. Shell is about three blocks from my house, Shadow's taken off before but never that far it's amazing he wasn't hit by a car.
When we got home we checked the back yard to see if the gates were open, cause we thought that maybe dad had come home a let him out. But all the gates were closed. We went inside and most of the lights were off, the ones downstairs were on, but my dad was out cold in the living room. We looked around and all the doors to the house were shut.
We went downstairs so we wouldn't wake dad up. Cameron started playing on the Wii and I on my DS when Shadow came onto the couch and layed right on top of us with his head perked up, like he was guarding us from something, he hasn't done that since he was little.
My dad was gone when I woke up this morning so I couldn't ask what happened to poor Shadow or how he got out. The one thing that really bugs me is: how did he know we were at Shell? We don't go there often, but the way he ran right towards us...it's like he knew we were there.
