I was looking for an old post yesterday, but I couldn’t find it. I came across this one from 2019 instead:
Friday evening we received a package from Amazon containing three thermometers. We checked to be sure we hadn’t ordered them, but no. Eventually Andy remembered that one of the pups had chomped on one of our thermometers up on the land and destroyed it, so he figured they must have been sent by Torben and Kaitlin.
Sure enough, Torben had ordered them. Why three? Because, he said,
I figure Tempi will eat them eventually.
It pays to be realistic and plan ahead.
I’m afraid Tempi is much more sedate now. Kaitlin and Torben got her in 2016, so she’s over ten years old. She mostly prefers the couch to getting into mischief.
