Weekend Update: Bad Dog!

well...we had an extra weekend project this last weekend. let me start at the beginning of the story.

the weather is changing. we are welcoming in spring with open arms!  that also means we have turned off the heat and opened up the windows (one of my favorite seasonal transitions).

jonah and i went out on friday afternoon to run some errands. when we got home i came in through the garage, opened up the door to the kitchen, and a little dog ran through my legs to get outside. well, i got to thinking...i was CERTAIN that i'd put that same dog in the backyard earlier in the day. my heart started beating faster (somewhat like i imagine Anne Shirley's did in regards to her jersey cow, dolly, but that is not my story). anyway, i wondered if the door to the backyard had not shut good and went to inspect. i did not find anything wrong with the door, but something was very wrong with the screen on the dining room window. thus, the title, BAD DOG.

i guess he'd jumped up and scratched enough to make a hole he could squeeze his nose/head into. grrrr. first i was in disbelief, then i was just plain mad!


well, we wanted the windows open. we were not going to let the dog win. so, we had to repair the screen. jonathan went to lowes and got the supplies. then he enlisted a helper:

"is this right, daddy?"

"are you ready for this tool now?"

i wish i had a photo of the finished project. it turned out great. and after the discipline we administered to the dog, i doubt he'll try breaking anything down for a long time! *fingers crossed*
