Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008Anyone want a dog? On Saturday Chris woke up early and did a long bike ride. I decided I wanted to go to the gym and run since it was rainy and humid outside. I left the pups in the kitchen with their beds...bad idea. I lifted some weights, did a short run, and was home in an hour...
I opened the door and was almost tripped by a little wiener dog--Buddy. Buddy doesn't usually run outside enthusiastically. In fact, usually I have to push him outside...unless he's done something bad. So, I was on full alert when I walked into the kitchen. I didn't need to be. An idiot could've figured out why he went running...
This is what I saw when I walked through the door.
He has a thing with eating doggy beds...for our wedding present, Betsy and Rob bought Buddy and Clancy really nice doggy beds with fluffy stuff and built in blankets. Buddy performed surgery on them both and ate the stuffing within a few months of getting them. He mauled this new bed also.
When I let him back in, he hid under the table. He gets this guilty look on his face and hides either behind the couch or under the table...
He wouldn't look at me and stayed behind the couch until Chris got home. We now have one bed for both dogs...and Clancy is usually the one who gets kicked off. I don't want to buy another bed, but I feel bad that Clancy sleeps on the floor while Buddy gets the comfy pillow.
Darned dog!! I'll give you a dollar if you take him, but don't tell my husband.
By the way, there are most days that I would pay folks $50 each to take our girls. HA!
I might have to try their Kong...the only thing I worry about is that it'll become a fight to the death over them. The dogs always want what the other has...even if theirs is exactly the same.
Scott, I might do something awful to the dog. I lost it on Bud when he ate one of my favorite shoes.
Here's one similar to what I was talking about. Kitch & Grant, you might want to check this out too. One thing one breeder mentioned--wicks accidents away if the puppy has one in the crate. And washable too. Not bad on price here but you can shop around. :)
Our dog gutted her bed. Now she has a blanket. It's all nicely folded up in her crate during the day, and when she goes to bed she makes a nest.
Oh, the incredible chewing dogs. How I love them.
