I’ve had Depot for only one day, and already both he and I are in trouble. I forgot to fasten the latch on his crate when I went to bed last night. During the night he got out and roamed around the kitchen. He found a basket of Ma’s newly washed clothes, and did he have fun! He scattered shirts and underwear all over the place, from one end of the kitchen to the other. Was Ma ever mad. She said she’ll have to wash the clothes all over again and that it was my fault for not latching Depot’s crate. Grandma, I’m in trouble with Ma, and I deserve it, especially after I promised her that this sort of thing wouldn’t happen. I thought Pa would be after me, too, for not latching the crate properly, but he didn’t say anything. In fact, I caught him smiling a little when he saw what Depot had done to the clothes. Annie thought Depot was just having a little fun, and she said so. That sure didn’t help matters. Ma blurted out that my puppy better learn to have fun with something besides her clean clothes.
