Nubbin'

Jake got to spend the night at school with some of his classmates for reading 30 minutes or more a night. He was so happy to go and hang out with his friends (and I think to get a night away from his sister). So Sean & I thought if we get Kate down early to bed we could have a quiet night and watch a movie or two. WRONG! After I dropped Jake off at school I came back home to help Sean move some stuff in the garage. Our dog Guinness wanted to come out which was no problem so we let her out. She saw our neighbor and started to bark and growl so Sean told her to go into the house. She went in the house but tried to sneak out the door before it closed. All of the sudden we heard a horrible howl and knew something was wrong so I ran to the house and Sean limped behind and that's when we noticed that she was bleeding and needed medical treatment. So we put Kate and Guinny in the SUV and drove to the pet er. It turned out that Guinness' beloved tail (it was known to cause great pain if smacked with it), had to amputated all to a nubbin'.
