My cousin and her boyfriend recently moved in together. The whole family
pitched in to help. My parents donated old furniture. My uncle lent them
his old car. Eventually their new home was all set up and the couple
decided to add a puppy to their family.
But they found the dog wouldn’t stay in the yard and that a fence was
needed. So again everyone pitched in. Friends came from far and wide for a
fence-building-party. And in no time they had a fence running around the
backyard up to the back of the house.
It wasn’t until my uncle dropped by to inspect the work that he noticed a
problem. Not only did the new fence fully enclose the puppy in the backyard
but it also surrounded… the car he’d lent them! They ended up having to
take down and rebuild a section of fence to get the car out again.
