This sweet little face was looking into mine yesterday about this time, and I was telling her how beautiful she is....how I am so happy to have her......how I couldn't possibly live without her....Why then, today, was I telling her that I really hope that she will like her new home....you know that one she will be going to if she does one more BAD thing.
Not to mention any names here, ( I must protect the innocent or in this case the guilty).....but there are a few reasons why you may want to think twice about getting a puppy, especially if you believe that they are well behaved after that first year.
1. Your little puppy friend could spread the bathroom garbage all over the house. That's perfectly understandable since she may just be looking for another pull-up like the one she found Sunday. Do you know what those things are like when they are wet, and shredded?
2. This same pup could chew up a wooden Christmas ornament that was meant for a grandchild.
3. Worse yet....she could mangle and twist up your new glasses.
4. I bet you didn't know that this sweet looking little thing could pee on your brothers foot when he comes to visit.
5. Opps! she could mistake a child's toy for her own, and pull off the eyes and get literally piles of stuffing out of that little hole.
6. The final straw.....who would believe that she would jump up on a chair in order to reach the paint bottles on the craft table. THEN....proceed to paint herself, the hardwood floor, one dog blanket, and a quilt on the bed? This was all accomplished within a 15 hour period, where 8 of which she was in a kennel for the night.
One last word about my dogs. Oscar is an angel, except for his exceptional barking skills.
I will forgive my little "criminal" but it may take me a couple of days.

You make me glad I don't have a puppy. It was hard to have Woody leave us but we figured out how to keep him out of the garbage. (Just don't put anything in there that interests him.) Someday maybe we'll have another dog but not for a while. They are so cute and fun to have around. How can you get mad at them? Well, maybe for a few minutes.
oh Wow- Maddie does not sound too bad after this post! Gracie is blessed you are a patient woman!
What a little stinker! Oh well...we will love her like crazy again soon enough. If she wasn't so darn cute while she was terrorizing the house you might think twice about this whole puppy ownership thing! We sure are happy that you have Gracie in your life, even though she makes you crazy sometimes!
Wow!!!! I am so glad we don't have a dog!!!
