Peteys Mom

Ok I don't know if Petey is just being his normal puppy self or if I've gotten spoiled to Chief's more calm, mature ways....but Petey has been sooooo mischievous this week :evilgrin:
Tuesday I put both boys in their crates when I left home after lunch..as I do every day. Well, apparently I did not shut Petey's crate well....when I got home my son met me at the door and said "I left everything just like I found it"--not a good sign :shocked: Petey, in all his 10 lb muscle-bound glory, literally busted his way out of his crate. The metal door was lying in the floor in front of the crate...and Mr. Petey was prancing around happy as could be. I have no idea how long he'd been loose...but he did manage to find the bathroom trash can ( I usually shut the bathroom door if the boys are not crated and I'm not home). Yes, there was shredded toilet paper and various other gnarly nasties alllll over the house, and Petey obviously ingested quite a bit of paper, according to the poop we're seeing now. He had also gone through the dirty clothes basket, which I also NEVER leave unattended with the dogs, and he had carefully chosen exactly three pairs of dirty panties to take to the living room and nest in. Nothing else...just panties :krazy:
Then yesterday when I went home at lunch ( I leave them gated in the kitchen and living room for the morning hours ) the boys must have joined forces to throw their nosy little bodies against my sons bedroom door until it opened. I found the remote control to his TV in the living room floor...with the back cover gone...and a chewed battery...and a MISSING battery :faint: I finally found the other battery under the rocking chair, so we avoided a trip to the vet's for x-rays :bounce2:
Have I mentioned that I would HIGHLY recommend adopting an older dog over getting a cute little puppy???????? Good thing he's so darn cute :happy5:
