Adventures in Puppy-Owning At a quarter to three last night, Chantico came hard-charging, as Ted puts it, up the stairs, having escaped from the kitchen. This was the first time she’d done it in the middle of the night, although she’d made it quite clear that all our contraptions and piles of stuff to keep her locked in were merely a nuisance, not actually an obstacle.

I walked them to school (we live right next to the school) and they regaled me with other stories of Moose Encounters that they’d had, and all was well. I didn’t…
