Expensive trip to the library

We have been going to the library frequently to save money on books. I used to always buy them, but it is so easy to find a book online and have it held at the library to pick up, it is a much better way to go. This time around Charlie had 6 books, Juliana had 5 books, and I had 2. Our 1 year old dog, Sam, decided that library books are very tasty, and decided to eat 3 of them! One had very little damage, but two had big chunks out of their spines. They were still very readable, but I couldn't just turn them back in. I took all 3 to the counter. The guy said it happens all the time. He said sometimes people bring back dog training books that have been eaten. Isn't that funny? Anyway, he said he could pretend he didn't see the damage on the one that wasn't too bad, but I did need to pay for the other two. So now we own two partially chewed up books for the wonderful price of $25! We are going to be very careful where we keep our library books from now on. Sam gets no more tasty library books from us!
