Brought Sam to the vet today because I thought he was having some arthritis problem (although he's a little too young for that yet) so we took a full body xray and lo and behold, Dr. Valdez found a pellet bullet in his upper torso. I know it didn't happen in LA because the way the house was situated, we had 7' walls all around the house.

My dogs, both in LA and here in TV, do not go out of the house or my backyard. Here in TV they only go on my lanai and they are very happy to live like this. This could only have happened here in TV. They also do not go to the Doggie Runs as they aren't very socialized and I also hate fleas and they get them there.

So this post is just to caution any of you with dogs, there is a hater here in TV and we must watch out for him/her. It could have been a contractor so I'm not saying its a neighbor, God forbid, but I feel totally violated right now and very very angry this this had to happen to my little pooch. Tomorrow I will report it to the police to see if they have any interest in this.

Careful out there, you never know!!!!
BTW, Sam is good and the bullet doesn't need to come out..Thank God.....
