Never say a dog is an easy dog...

I think they read it and resolve to cause trouble. This morning Brythen managed to pull down one of the walls on his crate, got out, shut Az in the study and Tommy in the shower room and then left a sizable steaming deposit on the landing...

Then he stole a bottle of carpet shampoo. Fortunately I managed to rescue it before he made a hole in it. And this evening, he stole a rather fancy paper bag with ribbon handles that I had saved from Christmas, and tore it delightedly to shreds!

Dogs! Why do I have them! :-D

All that before breakfast? Wow. Pip (who is under no circumstances to be described as an easy dog) is suitably impressed.

I forgot to mention that he also stole a bottle of carpet shampoo and when apprehended, was gnawing on it furiously. Thankfully I managed to get it off him before he broke it and covered himself in shampoo.

The same applies to cats and children. Although cats are less bother.

Bungles can be quite a lot of bother when young and boisterous, I seem to recall. It is a great relief that they have settled down a bit.

Though Suma Bungle is determined to play with Brythen and keeps tearing round the house trying to get him to chase. Poor Bryth is confused that I won't let him. I *think* they both have good intentions, but the size difference is just a bit too much to be comfortable with!

I keep looking wistfully at new rugs, longing to replace all the stained and chewed ones but know it's pointless.
Dogs, you gotta luv'em!

Excellent, the voice of reason!

I should probably congratulate myself that as a lurcher, he's not got *that* much stamina: young collies would be far worse! :-D

It seemed par for the course, til I got to the bit where he was shutting the other dogs up in places. That is pretty impressive.

I'd heard of lurchers letting other dogs OUT ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXpjX4l0hRg

But shutting the other dogs in? That's just weird!

Well, at least you haven't got a boring dog.

Hmm, I could live with a bit more boredom in the house training department :-/

Though (as, I fear is painfully obvious), I am not easily bored by dogs!

I have been a dogsitter all of one night in my life. Dog was INSANE. Finally things became a little more calm and I actually didn't think about him for nearly half an hour. Then my mind did the whole "hey, why is the dog so quiet" train of thought, went to investigate...

Dog lying in the living room, content and happy. Munching away on the handknit socks I was making for my grandma. The finished sock was shredded, the other (still on the needles!) was unravelling and soggy and chewed upon, and yarn wound all around the coffee table legs. Bits of expensive bamboo needle everywhere. Dog looked so pleased with himself. Wanted to know why I was not similarly pleased.

Love 'em to bits, but HHHHRRRM. *shakes fist, which dog ignores*
