You may remember that a few months ago, me and Buddy got into a bit of trouble over the neighbors' chickens. Ever since, although it upsets them to do it, Mom and Dad make us stay in our crates when they are not going to be home.
Today our folks had to leave us for awhile and they crated us. When they came back, they found my crate in the middle of the dog den floor. And the top of my snout was raw and bloody. I had bent the wire door of my crate
trying to get out of it. Mom let me out and Dad cleaned up the mess I'd made.
Then Mom put me in the shower and rinsed me off. She put some Neosporin on my nose. I am not sure what's coming next but I suspect some of that colloidal silver spray stuff.
Mom called our neighbor and asked if she knew whether anything unusual happened around here today. Mrs. Neighbor said, "Yes."
A strange man walked down our road today. He had a shotgun and he was shooting it. At squirrels. Shooting at little squirrels with a big shotgun. Some great hunter, huh?
ANYhowl, Mom and Dad figure that the sound of the shotgun must've upset me. That's why I thrashed around enough to move my crate to the middle of the room and why I knocked the fur and skin off my nose.
Mom took a couple of pickshures to show you. She will be putting that antibiotic ointment on me again in a little while.
I will be okay. But I had a bad day.

Oh Duke I am so sorry you had a scary day, I don't like the sound of guns either. I know your Mom will fix you up good as new. Hugs & kisses sweetheart.
You poor thing. Sorry you had anxiety because of an ignorant jacka$$. Was the neighbor smart enough to report the idiot? Stray bullets are dangerous! Hope you feel better soon. You're lucky to have a smart, caring Mom!
Oh DD, I'm so sorry you were wounded. That mean squirrel shooter needs a whack upside his empty head! Long distance kisses on your boo boo.
(((Duke)))I hope the other Hooligans are OK. Stoopid Hoomans...
Oh Duke, I'm so sorry you had to go through that! Maya says to tell her where your house is and if you help her find that dumb guy, she'll gladly sharpen her claws on him!
How awful for you, DD! Stoopid man - he should leave the squirrels alone! We hope you feel better soon!
Love ya lots
