Collateral Damage
Translated: The Perils of Puppy Ownership

On April 15th, 2006 my family and I found an abandoned puppy in the Mojave Desert. Needless to say, we kept the pup, brought her home--and well--the rest is history. Now at nearly eight months old--"Lunah" still gets into mischief occasionally. Okay, okay, quite often.

One day when things seemed a bit too quiet (no chasing her tail in circles or cavorting through the house etc.), I heard some unusual chomping coming from the living room. When I went in to check on the noise, there was the dog happily destroying my $277 reading glasses! The frames were twisted and bitten to bits and the lenses lay on the carpeting like two forsaken twins.

Can one get mad at an adorable toddler/puppy who turns her head down, raises her eyes up and wags her tail as if she's accomplished the most valiant act?

Sure makes it hard...

Moral of the story: If you've got a new pup, keep your treasured valuables up high and away from the teeth that will destroy!
