lost dogs

Yesterday I was driving into Ottawa for a big corporate show (well it was a replacement 15 minute bit for an act that I had to cancel for a corporate client) and along the highway I noticed a lost dog. This sad looking black and white border collie type dog was standing by the highway pouting.. i could imagine him thinking "why won't anyone stop for me." I totally would have stopped to pick him up had I not been on the way to a corporate gig.. I slowed down and thought about it and everything.. Can you imagine me showing up at the Congress Centre with a stray dog "don't mind the dog.. i found him on the way in."
