Neighborhood dog-napper

My husband took our son trick-or-treating at their uncle's home on Halloween evening.

The neighbor next door was dressed as Cruella De Vil, her two small dogs sporting shiny white coats with black spots.

"Mom, we saw the woman from 101 Dalmations," my son exclaimed when he arrived home. "Daddy took a picture."

Upon examining the photograph, I identified the woman and remarked to my husband that she's a former colleague of mine.

The next day, my son was recalling some of the highlights of Halloween night. "Hey Mom, you know that woman you used to work with," he said. Seeing my puzzled face, he added, "You know, the one who steals dogs."
