This morning, I seriously considered ringing the necks of both my Australian Shepherd puppy, Ranger and my kitty, Kojak! I have decided that boys, although more loving and affectionate sometimes, are much, much more mischevious than their female counterparts! (at least in my home anyways).
This morning I sat my coffee mug down on my end table so that I could check on something in another room. When I came back, Ranger had whipped cream all over his face and there laid my coffee mug in the floor and coffee EVERYWHERE!
(It was on the back wall, on my end table, on my computer cord, on my couch cover, and all over the carpet. I was NOT thrilled! At least Ranger's clumsy self spilled the coffee before he could drink it and make himself sick.
(He knows the "leave it" command, but I was half awake and forgot to tell him his command before I sat my drink down, so really it was partially my fault. I had been target training him to "leave it and "take it" for things on that area so that I can build his training skills (we had been working with a piece of paper and a few other things I had laying on the end table, so I guess he thought he would "take" some of my drink for himself
).
As I moved the couch around to clean the carpet/etc...I noticed that there were some bubblegum wrappers. At first I saw a few of them, then when I looked underneath the couch, there were multiple piles of them!
Apparently it wasn't my imagination that the Halloween candy wrappers everyone was throwing away into the trash cans kept disappearing! Kojak apparently went dumster diving and stole them!
So far, I've counted 23 gum wrappers, 6 hershey kiss wrappers, and two tortilla chips. He knows how to open doors, so he must have jumped into the trash to steal them then back out again to hide them...EWW!
