As many of know, one of our neighbors kindly volunteered to take in our yellow lab Luke for the year, which was super-nice. We dropped him off to his foster home Saturday at 1:00 and then headed to our farewell lunch with our families. By 2:30, Luke was back in our custody! We got a call that Luke had killed the family's pet bird when they had it out of its cage, and that he was no longer welcome to stay. Maybe he was trying to prove that he was worthy of his breed as a bird dog. Of course we feel terrible about what happened. Luke is now an extended stay customer at the local kennel until we can get settled and figure out another option ... Not a great beginning to the year, but things were going so smoothly we figured something was bound to happen. Just didn't imagine it would be this!

Does this look like the face of a killer?
