Jack appears sleepy and has a total of three spots, but in the last three months he has become quite "spotty."  It's as if three new spots appear daily.  

If you don't know your puppy is a Jack Russel, you might be surprised when his little spots begin to show.   As time wears on we discover there are more spots below the surface that become over abundant and maybe even quite an eyesore.  Jack's spots are adorable, but unfortunately, that doesn't always hold true in others.  It's an awful discovery for some, especially when they had such high hopes for the accomplishments they expected from their puppy. 

The same can be said for those we place our hopes and dreams upon, whether they are family members or even politicians.  We support them and it breaks our heart to see them fail.  We claim a part of their failure as ours, which causes us to deny their failure and blame their shortcomings on someone or something else.  We want to separate their failure from them and most importantly ourselves.  Folks, the Emperor is naked, whether you like it or not.
