[a moment] to leap to the rescue

 

[moment 120]

We were approaching a red light at the end of an exit ramp and it looked like there was a dog on its side at the side of the road. We feared the worst. As we pulled up next to it, we discovered it was a stuffed animal. 

My immediate response was to yell - "rescue it!" And, of course, Mal leapt from the van and scooped it up. We soon discovered it was pig. A very dirty pig. 

We brought the pig home and soaked it. And rinsed it. And soaked it some more. And rinsed it again. And then into the washing machine it went. Twice. 

As I type, I'm awaiting the end of the cycle to see how our new friend looks...and smells. And then perhaps we'll post on social media to see if anyone is missing their piggy friend.
