Our felon of a dog...

So many already know the story of little ol' Aspen, but for those of you who haven't, let me enlighten you. For those of you have met Aspen, you would probably agree that she is one of the laziest dogs ever. She sleeps all the time, loves to cuddle, and every once in a while gets a little hyper. Well, we were lucky enough to already have an electric fence in our yard when we purchased the house, so all we had to do was buy a couple of collars. Considering the last post, Aspen being a bad ass and all, she doesn't exactly care about the dinky ol' fence. She has come to realize that if she runs fast enough, it really doesn't hurt all that bad. Unfortunately, we have neighbors who's children are deathly afraid of dogs, and one morning, apparently Apen "attacked" her 8 year-old granddaughter. When really, the little girl was afraid, ran the opposite way, and fell down. Now, I don't have any experience with the law, but I am pretty sure using inappropriate verbage is a fraudulent accusation, and has anyone ever heard of a pur-bred lab "attacking" anything other than a bird? Our two-year old neighbor isn't even afraid of her! So, after I left for work, and Casey is about to walk out the door, he gets a pleasant visit from the police. Oh yes, the crazy African woman called the cops on Aspen! Not even Kodi! The police informed Casey that Aspen is the "aggressor" and needs to be under voice command or on a leash. This has slightly put a damper on letting the dogs run around, and I am dreading the winter, but all in all, at least we didn't have to go to court. So now the joke at work is that we have a felon dog...here is her mug shot.

Haha... yes, I know what "they say"... but it was late evening sickness and I am for sure not pregs!! :)

That's sweet that you guys are going hiking- are you going on the Superior Hiking Trail? I've heard from Pat's parents that it is really cool up there...

By the way, i definitely got the "super aggressive, felon-dog" vibe from Aspen when I met her in March ;) We had the cops at my house a few times growing up because our lab "barked too much", so I know how that all goes- good luck with that! Miss you guys!!
