Well, it seems we have experienced our first substantial mishap at the hands of, I mean the paws of our puppies.

At approximately 9:30 p.m. last evening, this poor, unsuspecting gnome fell victim to an overzealous romp, instigated, I am sure, by pack leader Sheldon, although Leonard was also discovered at the scene of the crime. Both canines were severally scolded and incarcerated. The gnome remains in serious condition, but authorities are hopeful that he will make a complete recovery.
