| Someone's been a very bad dog. |
While out running errands one day, the Yates family needed to recycle some things they had laying around the garage. When they were pulling up to this specialized recycling center, Josh and Heather noticed a cute little puppy tied up. While their dad Brook was busy recycling his goods, the kids began playing with the dog. They were enjoying the little pup so much; their mom Jennifer thought she would ask around to see who owned the little critter. After some time searching and no luck finding an owner, they decided to leave a nano sized note where the dog was tied up and take him home. On the way home, they all decided to call him Atomic based on where he was found. Too bad the family had no idea that the cute little puppy has been affected by the surrounding elements and its irradiated mother is soon going to show up to try and get her baby back. They also don't realize that raising this this little terror will be difficult due amount of muggles that want to pet him. Atomic may need some obedience training between the hours of 6:00 am and 9:00 pm. Wednesday after 3:00 pm might be the best day for this.

We found a lot of cute little doggies here. Smoochersmom found it, of course! Not sure what the clue meant, since my definition of one of the words was decidedly different from yours!
Thanks for the fun--Happy :)

Thanks for the cache! This was a bit frustrating, but found it eventually.

It took three tries, but we found it. Was out with Danger girl and Tiny Timmy, trying to find a few more caches before leaving CA. TFTC, It was fun.

We've received a few DNF's and emails about this one so we checked on it tonight. Saw it from the car, but that was probably because nobody was around and we practically drove up to it.

Atomic has a very interesting story but the only dog I wanted to take home was the Husky puppy running around the dog park. I don't think the owner would have appreciated that though. TFTC
