At first it was just too cold out in the garage pen, but now we are seeing the incredible value. Viper, or as Ben calls him, “Diaper Dog,” is back in the house full time, and with that retakes the job of safeguarding us all.

Scott has been working with him using flashcards. He is slowly getting it too. Today I think he only slept 80% of the day. I am sure if there were indeed a crisis he would bound to the rescue. But for now I can see his brilliance….he is saving his energy lest he needs to attack.

For now however, he will just hang out, get his belly scratched and snore. God sure knew what He was doing when He created the Golden Retriever. He is certainly cheaper than ADT, and clearly a lot better looking. We love him and are looking forward to feeling super safe from this point and forevermore!

Goodnight my friends and God Bless. And no, I didn’t forget about the retraction…..I just was not able to get the evidence….I mean the picture!
