This is my new computer. Well, fairly new. I bought it last October. When I left the house Saturday to take the kids and their friends out to lunch, 
I assumed (yep, I said it) that everything would be okay. I have four dogs who I love very much. One drags cereal boxes out the doggy door to munch on outside. One escapes from the back yard about 5 times a day to run amuck around the property. One eats butter off the counter, and one, well he just lays around and sleeps a lot. When something happens in the house, I’m never sure which one is the guilty
party.
This particular Saturday, I came home to find my laptop in disarray. The monitor was lying flat against the desk, all the way open like it was flashing me or something. Keys were popped off the laptop keyboard – some next to the computer, and some just plain missing. What the heck happened?!
I know not to leave food on the table. I know not to lock the doggy door with the dogs inside the house. I even know that trash left in the laundry room will surely be ripped into if given the opportunity. But now I have to remember to shut my laptop each time I leave too? This is getting ridiculous!
Lucky for me, I bought Dell’s complete accident protection plan (highly recommended), so my “incident” was completely covered. They shipped me a new keyboard overnight, and I installed it myself today with a little help from tech support. Yay! I’m back up and running. Word to the wise: Leave those laptops closed when they’re not in use!
