Innocence Lost

As the snow melts in our backyard, we keep finding little orange, plastic BBs. We don't know who the guilty party is. It could be one of the neighborhood kids without conscience or someone driving through Taco Bell.

Chloe's breeder was painstaking in her efforts to produce good dogs. Chloe's mom and dad were very sweet, and we were able to love them up when Chloe was one week old and we picked her to be our new dog. We've done the obedience classes, seen that she gets regular exercise and she has been socialized with other dogs and people. But, you can't control everything--not with your kids, and not with your dog. There are bad people out there. And now, our admittedly spoiled but sweet puppy knows these people exist.
