Southern By Choice and I recently had a conversation about my new English Shepherd puppy, Gracie. SBC suggested a thread to discuss some of the crazy/bad/silly/exasperating things that our puppies do.
Gracie had a 'no good very bad day' this past weekend. Despite that, I still believe that she is practically perfect in every way. She simply decided to remind me that she is truly still a puppy!
Our day started with rain. Many days DH tries to take Gracie for a morning walk. If that's not possible we enjoy a cup of coffee on the back porch while Gracie burns some energy in the back yard. We did that, but obviously it was not enough. We came back in the house and I planted myself in front of my computer while DH ran some errands and Gracie played with her toys in the other room....or so I thought!
I'll try to condense some of the things she did:
Got into the trash
Stole a hairbrush off the table and tried to make it her new chew toy
Got into the trash
Chewed a rug
Got into the trash
Shredded an entire roll of paper towels (very quietly and very efficiently)
Got into the trash
Jumped a fence into a pen with two does who had fresh babies (she almost instantly regretted that decision)
and probably got into the trash again!
But, she did it all w/a doggy smile and I still love her!
What are some of the things your pups have done to keep you on your toes?
