From Chaos comes Clarity.

So, this weekend while I was at the Utah game this weekend sitting there watching turnover after turnover my dad (who is obviously a BYU fan since he coaches Rugby there) texted me and asked me what the score was. My dad and I constantly banter back and forth when its football season. Utah's 54-10 victory over BYU this season really helped my cause. He can't stand losing especially not to my team. So when he texted me and asked what the score was I was a bit surprised that he wasn't watching the game. Its not like my dad to pass up on an opportunity to give me crap. Then he texted me and told me Chaos our Jack Russell Terrier got hit by a car, let me just point out the dog has been hit 4 times before so it was kind of like yeah whatever your lying, well turns out he wasn't. He got ran over by the mail man and took off running for some odd reason. My parents looked everywhere, they followed his blood all the way to the canal (which is about a mile away) and then the trail stopped. They kept looking and asking everyone if they had seen him and nothing. Some people did see him and said he was bleeding so badly that he'd turned pink and they'd thought he was spray painted. Then they went home and got Murphy our other dog who is an airdale terrier, absolutely massive but loves to hunt Chaos. When he couldn't find him we pretty much gave up hope but it was Saturday night so we planned on calling the pound Monday. We went out and looked again on Sunday and still nothing. We were pretty positive that he was gone and wouldn't be home. The saddest part for me was thinking that he was out alone in the cold bleeding to death and scared. Lucky for us though he was picked up by a police officer at about 2PM Saturday afternoon and taken to the animal shelter. So we had to pay $75 to spring him and my dad got a ticket for not having him on a leash and not having a dog license. By the way, when in the hell did you have to get a license to have a dog? The leash thing I knew about but a license? That you have to renew every year! Sorry but thats just too much. Anyways the good thing is that he's home now. He's got some horrendus cuts but my parents think he's going to be fine and they'll just heal on their own. Its pretty crazy when you think about it. I can't believe we found him. I'm so happy he didn't die. He's our baby, we've decided to make him an inside dog though ha. Only took us 5 times of him getting run over to realize hmmm... maybe this dumb ass should stay away from cars.

You'd think Chaos would realize "hey I keep getting run over. I should stop chasing cars." ;)
I love you sweetie, I'm glad he was found
