The log once more

Tragedy struck when the visiting puppy chewed the log. Quick thinking saved the main curl but the second smaller curl is alas no more.  The puppy seemed remarkably unrepentant. 

But out of the frying pan...Tragedy strikes again when a helpful relative found the chewed log and repatriated it to the log basket. Later, as the evening grew chilly, and the fire was lit, and the calls went up to throw another log on, helpful relative reported the dastardly deed, and just in time I intervened. The log survives, but we are both feeling rather frayed at the edges now. The helpful relative seemed remarkably unrepentant.
