accidentally left one of her packages on my porch, I walked it over to her without giving it a second thought.
Then her dog discovered my flower beds.
The first time, I assumed it was an accident.
I came home from work and found several flowers torn from the ground, dirt scattered across the walkway, and paw prints all through the mulch.
I knocked on Denise’s door.
“Hey, I think your dog got into my flower bed.”
She glanced toward my yard and shrugged.
“He’s a dog, Christine. Dogs dig.”
I waited for an apology.
It never came.
She acted as though I had complained about the weather.
So I cleaned everything up myself.
Then it happened again.
The second time, I was more irritated.
The third time, nearly an entire section of the garden was destroyed.
