Hmmm... now how did THAT happen? Hmmm...
Way to go A2!
Sam, you didn't mention we also called the new next door neighbor (he hasn't completely moved in yet). He came running with his sharper xacto knives & helped hold a squirming puppy. Welcome to the zoo, Jim. (What an introduction to the neighborhood). All's well, & now we know not to put puppy's head in anything (it truly was an accident).

Sam,
I'm glad it all turned out ok. AND we learned a lesson didn't we? Dogs should not wear crowns of duct tape, should they? (Only crowns of gold!)
Love,
Mom
That was very funny, but probably not at the time. How on earth did that get around her neck?
