Fucking Dogs...

...I hate them sometimes.
Today is the one year anniversary of my little brother's death. I had a shitty, long, stressful day at work. When I finally got off at 4:30pm, I was stoked to go home.
And when I got home I found that my dogs had removed everything from the shelves I keep next to my computer to eat, shred, rip, tear, and otherwise destroy it. My blank checks, envelopes, CDs, a roll of duct tape, baked sculpy clay, bills, legal documents, letters, and a sewing kit were all victims in the crime. I can only hope they don't get poisoned by the sculpey (the little guy already threw up a couple times outside but otherwise they both seem fine) but other than that I'm pissed.
They both got the biggest whoopin' of their lives before I locked them in the kennel and shut them in the bedroom for a time out while I cleaned up the mess they'd made. I managed to salvage most of the blank checks, some envelopes and some of my papers, but the sewing kit was demolished, most of the thread was missing though I found all of the needles and some half eaten thread spools, the duct tape was shredded (and pieces of it were stuck to the dogs, which I had to remove)...it was hell.
Photos of my dead brother were included in the assault...but were luckily untouched in their envelope. They had just been pulled to the floor and forgotten. Thankfully.
What a wonderful thing to come home to on a day like this.
Love,
Champ
P.S. They normally don't bother anything on shelves so I didn't see it as an issue. Bowser knows he's not allowed to have something unless it's on the floor or we give it to him. He got a guilty look as soon as I said his name when I found the mess. He knew what he did wrong. Wickett was oblivious as always until I actually scolded him for it.

Go Watch Me On: 
It's weird because they normally wouldn't do something like this. I dunno...dogs have their weird days too.

...then one day ripped it apart, ate a squeaker and left it in pieces on the floor.
It was adorable.
And yeah, dogs can be idiots sometimes. Ours randomly decided one day to chew cables. Never done it before, never done it since, just one day she thought OOH WIRES OMNOMNOM. She's lucky they weren't important.
But on another note, I would never actually hurt my dogs. The worst they got was I put their face in the mess so they could see what they did, told them "No!" and swatted them on the rump before shutting them in the kennel for time out. Think of it as a light spanking and a time out.
And yeah, pretty much. They have the intelligence of a young child and they learn like one, that's for sure. I hardly have to scold the big guy anymore (except in extreme cases) because he knows when he's done something wrong. I just have to look him in the eyes and say 'no' firmly or say his name in a low tone. He knows he done wrong. He'll get the guiltiest look on his face and roll over onto his back all sad-like.
I forgive him eventually. They're too cute not to forgive...and luckily too cute to kill haha.
Once, I was in my room and I had this plushie that someone custom made for me of my character Nagaitora, and it was missing and I searched for it and I saw my sister's chiweenie laying on the windowsill seat about to chew it up. It wasn't damaged, just a little damp, and had a few teeth mark indentions. I am glad I managed to save it before she turned it into a pile of cotton. If that had happened, boy would I have been pissed.
Maybe the dogs have separation anxiety? Dogs love to chew when they have separation anxiety and some people find it's best to leave a radio on to soothe them and give them bones and chew toys. If this happens again you could possibly find a doggy daycare but it will cost you money though.
Maybe it's the weather change. It was warm yesterday and it's cold all of a sudden today. Perhaps they felt a disturbance in the force.
They like to go into the garbage, pull out chicken wings/bones, put them in their foodbowl [to make it look like someone gave it to them and to trick me] and crunch em.
Thing is, I once had to pull a feline-heimlich on my cat Tim before because he was choking on a chicken bone.
I like the interaction and responsibility that comes with owning a dog (yes...I like the responsibility lol it was the only thing that kept me on my feet during my unemployed months was having the dogs to care for)...I just hate it when they decide to tear shit up out of the blue.
Sorry, don't mean to harp, I'm big on dog training ._.
And if I kennel Bowser he yelps, whines and howls. He's part hound...and I live in a small apartment complex. Not good when you have close neighbors.
When I leave him out in the livingroom/kitchen area he usually sleeps or chews on toys. I'm looking into getting them more toys to keep them busy because they ran out (more like Bowser ate them all) recently.
dogs < cats imo.
Hoo-boy I would have exploded.
wow guess ya dogs were pretty bored today
my dogs have gone backassward before out of no where i rember tuttbutt decided one day to dig in the laundry basket and eat the butt out of all of my pants that where in t here (but not the husbands things) when i got back she brought it to me and tried to get me to play with it...
I would imagine that might be why your pup is preferring yours over your hubbies pants :p
but shes kinda a ass backwards mutts so she does things funny, that or husband thing payed her off to try get me in assless pants (didn't happen)
Oh my god..
So priceless
