While I was at the Monroe prison on evening of June 28, Samwise engaged in some anti-social activity. Below are pictures of the rectory back door that Sam tore through. He was waiting for me inside the rectory when I got back about 9. To Sam's credit he did not destroy anything inside the rectory. And amazingly he did not start eating from his dog food bag. I surmise that was because fire crackers had traumatized him. He was trembling and breathing hard when I came in.
