On Arrows and Dogs

Posted on 2010 under Archery | 2 Comments

Just a quick note – my son-in-law, James, ordered some new arrows and they arrived promptly as requested. However . . . the delivery person placed the parcel just inside the fence, perhaps thinking it was safe there – out of sight. Well it wasn’t safe from the sight of one of James’ inquisitive puppies . . . inquisitive enough to want to know what treasures were inside the package. When James came home there were at least a half dozen arrows strewn around the property, each one thoroughly tasted and chewed upon . . .enough as to make them completely useless for anything other then kindling for the fireplace! I am sure there is some cute moral to the story . . . just haven’t figured out what it is!

    Sending sympathetic groans of understanding. Having suffered through the reigns of 3 long-lived Labrador Retrievers, I have lost thousands of dollars to the Canine Inquisition. There is no cute moral…Just shrug and call it a Zen moment! Sigh…
