Neighbor kids kicked the ball over the fence again the other day, gets rather wearisome to retrieve it so I have taken to allowing them in the back yard to get it.
The back of my head said do not do it.
Anywhoo they came over, knocked on the door and told me the ball was in the yard.
I said you can go get it but ensure the dog does not get out.
Thankfully I was watching.
The 85 lb Dog was jumping and playing with, some little 3 year old guy I had not even seen.
The 14 yr old whipped him over the fence, I ran out to get control.
The little kid was like, “he popped my ball”
Lesson learned.
You are children Don’t be mucking around over here
I am an Adult, do not let children muck around over here.
I hear you. As adults, we all have to be looking out for children, because they simply are not able to look out for themselves. This is such a tragic story, because we all make mistakes. In this case, the mistake was fatal.
