Our five year old granddaughter spent a few hours with us over the weekend while her parents went to a wedding. She and Daisy are two buds and it's always a challenge to see who will tire the other out when they play.
While I was at work today Mrs. Faulkner had let Daisy inside a bit for some company. She got busy fiddling around in the kitchen and eventually noticed Daisy was not underfoot and was quiet. For border collie owners that can be a dangerous combination, so Mrs. Faulkner decided to go looking for Daisy and as she rounded the corner she found her napping on the floor. Well, apparently, my granddaughter left her favorite Teddy Bear behind when her parents picked her up and I guess Daisy thought she'd left ole Teddy behind for Daisy to play with. . . . and about that time our daughter-in-law sent a text to Mrs. Faulkner asking if we'd happened to see our granddaughter's Teddy Bear that turned up missing and wondered if they'd left it behind.
Mrs. Faulkner took a quick picture and sent it to me with an explanation of the situation.
The LEO in me couldn't help it. I sent a text back asking, "did you actually see Daisy do it?"
In short order I got a text back. "Well then, if we follow the clues and I didn't do it, and Daisy didn't do it, that just leaves you. Did you rip the head off your granddaughter's favorite Teddy Bear?"
I was having a little fun with this, so I texted back, "see if you can get a little closer without waking Daisy up and check for any stuffing around her mouth. Of course that would only be circumstantial evidence."
There was a long pause before the return text message came. It read, "how about you take a close look at the mutilated Teddy Bear in the picture and then go by Walmart on your way home and see if you can find a replacement with all it's stuffing inside, Grandpa!"
