Border Patrol


Many of you have seen Cricket before (welcome back, Cricket!). She's a brilliant border collie who was here this summer. Border collies must patrol the grounds. As you may notice, Cricket has discovered a security breach. Red Alert!

That little hole you see there was made by a rollicking group of dogs who happened to all be here together this summer and were very playful. One of them decided to start ripping at the wall. This has never happened before. It's further proof that just when I thought I'd seen it all, dogs will always surprise me with the destruction they can do.

Which brings me to me. Yes, here I am, thinking that I'm pretty safe, that no further damage can rock my world. However, that is not true. Something unexpected can happen, not just externally, but internally. There are times when I see...let's call it "bad behavior"...and think to myself, "Well, that's awful - I'd NEVER do that." It turns out, that my self-righteousness will quickly prove me wrong. Maybe I don't have that issue, but I've got another issue just as bad.

Or, maybe I'm just watching too much "Jersey Shore." I don't get the show and even more I don't get why I keep watching. But that's another story.

Do you ever think you're safe house has suddenly been attacked? What happens when you start to feel too secure in your own righteousness? Will "The Situation" ever grow up?
