Meet Cinco

Here is a picture of Cinco Pena. He lives around the corner from us. This is how we got introduced...

Yesterday I noticed a delivery truck up the street and the two guys were unloading something when Cinco came running toward them. They kept shooing him away and got in their truck. Cinco was very interested in what they were delivering because he didn't want them to leave. He stepped in front of their truck and I cringed as I heard them start it up, thinking they couldn't possibly see him standing there. They waited for Cinco to move but when they stopped at the end of the street to turn, he was right beside them trying to get into the side of the truck (for some reason they left the door open). I came out the front door and as soon as he saw me, he came bolting across the street. I kept the gate to the courtyard closed until I could really make sure he was friendly. It turns out he was so I led him around to the backyard where Jack just kind of stared at him through the backdoor. Thank goodness Bailey happened to be kenneled in our bedroom because he's such a tough guy that he would have gone through the screen door.

Zechariah really liked Cinco, until he started howling (he's part hound and part something else). Oh yeah, I guess I should mention that the name on the tag was Cinco Pena and it had an address and two phone numbers. Unfortunately I didn't notice the phone numbers until a little while later, after I walked him over to his house to find out there was no one home. Terry watched the kiddos for me and then wrote down the numbers when I got back. Ainsley wasn't too keen on Cinco because of his "howlarooing" as she called it. It was pretty loud so I think it scared her. To make a long story short, I got a hold of the owners and they had a neighbor come and get him. Here is a short video of Cinco and his "howlarooing". Of course, it isn't as loud as it would be if you were here but you can at least get an idea!
