Vent: Spent 3 hours on a garden wall last Tuesday and a dog knocked it over

I was finishing up the last course on a small retaining wall in some guy's backyard. His golden retriever ran straight through it before the mortar even set. Has anyone else had an animal mess up their work like that?

Well, have you ever thought pets just don't know any better until it's too late? I used to get frustrated when animals messed up projects, but then I saw how much joy that golden retriever brought the owner even after knocking down the wall. It made me realize some things are worth rebuilding if it means keeping a happy dog around.

You ever think about how we're really the ones who don't know better? Like we get mad at the dog for knocking down drywall but we're the ones who left him alone with a chew toy and a half finished room. The dog doesn't understand building codes or timelines. He just sees an obstacle between him and his owner. Meanwhile we're out here blaming the animal for acting like an animal. Makes you wonder who's really the smarter species here.
