It was around 1992, when I knew much less than I do today, but thought I knew even more than I think I do now. I had a very high energy Newfie.\u00a0 <\/span>She was 140 pounds of pure-unadultrated-jack-russel-meets-border-collie-meets-chupukabra-on-speed energy.\u00a0 <\/span>One night I drove from Los Angeles to Santa Fe and arrived at around 2:30 in the morning.\u00a0 <\/span>Knowing that Tillie would not let me sleep after spending 14 hours in the truck, I took her to the nearby park for a quick game of fetch to take the edge off.\u00a0 <\/span>On about the third throw, she ran up to a house adjacent to the park, in through their giant open pet door, and disappeared.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, if you are reading this blog, and lived next to a park in Santa Fe in the nineties and were visited one night by a friendly hyperactive bear, I am sorry\u2026 \u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
