The neighbor kid has strict parents – really strict – especially with him. But he’s a good kid, hard worker, we’ve known each other for years. He’s our small-town paperboy. Last week I caught him deliberately throwing his paper at my dog. I could have made a big-deal out of the situation. I had the right to call the police, animal control, SPCA, Sierra Club and Greenpeace but to what avail? After all, there was no physical harm. I didn’t want revenge, just resolution, so I talked to him, one on one.
