*Bump for Kaige* What happens when you give GSD's freedom

Ever since my hubby started working out of town again I have been leaving the pups have free run of the house while I'm at work. I thought that since they are older now maybe they wouldn't do as much damage as they did when they were younger. (Couches, phones, beds, pillows, blankets, sheets, books... etc)
Well... I'm happy to say that it has latest for a few months... but I think it's come to an end now! :o
I walked in my house yesterday and this was the first thing I saw:

Yup, that's broken glass!!
Most of it fell on the outside of the door so no puppies were hurt.

THEN.... I walked into the kitchen and noticed that the living room was Brighter that normal. When I walked around the corner I saw this...:

I know it's hard to see, but that is my living room picture window.
"What's wrong you ask?"
When I left for work in the morning I had curtains hanging there!!!!! :eek:
Yeah, they not only tore the curtains down, they pulled the brackets out of the walls!!!
Here's part of the curtains and half of the rod that fell behind the recliner:

I found the rest of the curtains and the other half of the rod wedged behind the couch.

Oh lookie what's in my bed room... it's one of the pieces of curtain!

more...... :o

Wait a second..... I made my bed before I left for work today!!!

Bud... what are you trying to hide??
Huh??

BUD!! What are you hiding??
Who me??
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...4/ecbea0e4.jpg

Alright... it's not that bad, they just dumped their basket of toys on it's side!
But it sure looked like he was hiding something from me!!!

After all was said and done and the damage had been assessed, I attributed the craziness to the fact that my dad had his friend come over today and pick up my Blazer with his tow truck. I know it was all the noise coming from the driveway (that they can't see from the house) that they didn't know what it was.
So I guess they were... um... protecting the house?? :confused: :o :p
Hey... if someone were peeking in my windows thinking about breaking in, and saw those two freaking out tearing things off my walls.... I'm certain they wouldn't ever mess with my house again!!
I'm at work today, and to be on the safe side... they are in their crates today! :o

LOL! Sorry, but Buddy looks so awfully innocent in that picture! I notice no Sierra around....do ya think she had anything to do with this? ;)

I looks like Buddy may have tried to hide the evidence( curtain ;) )

Can you imagine having a video camera hidden somewhere? :eek:

So glad no German Sheperds were hurt during this event!!!! ;)

LOL!! That's so funny..... but I'm sorry you had to come into a disasterous house! Maybe they're trying to tell you to call in sick one day and just stay home and play with them! lol

Aww, poor pups, they were just doing their job, and protecting the house. ;)

LOL! I cannot believe they did that much damage. :eek: I'm glad everythings ok. Those two pictures of Buddy are to cute. He has the most innocent face. A similar thing happened here the other day. We left her home for no more then TEN minutes and what does Sassy do?? Pee on the dining room carpet. :rolleyes: Dogs, you gotta love them. :D

:eek: Must have been Sierra. Couldn't have been buddy. Look at the face! He's completely innocent!

Yes he does look innocent. Sorry that happened! I'm pretty sure all of us have come home to a similar scene at one time or another, but ripping down the curtains! :eek: They must be strong!

You give an inch.... :D

Buddy's face is too cute! I'm sure he couldn't have been invovled!!

I have come home to some intersting things before...hole in the window (storm window, not outside window), Cincy has eaten holesin the carpet, and we have had tears inteh shears. Fingers croassedm they have never compeltely torn down the curtains. Lately, they have all been in the kitchen where there is limited damage they can do.

Oh, how sweet, they were trying to protect the house, they didn't mean to do damage! :) :) It does make for a good story especially for those of us that don't have to do the clean up. :)

Oh my! :eek: Looks like Buddy and Sierra had a fun day! ;)

wow!
what nawtee doggies! :)
yipes -
hope they make the most of their jail sentence! :p

Aw :)

To tell you the truth, I think Bud did it! He goes CrAzY when someone is near the house, or in this case, he knew something was happening but couldn't do anything about it!
All is well again at the house, the hubby put up new Super Heavy Duty brackets! Let's hope the new brackets never get put to the test!! :D

:eek: Yeah I think they enjoyed their freedom a bit too much. ;)

Yes before I leave the house I look into the 4 sets of innocent collie eyes and think,:rolleyes: then it hits me. "Kennel UP Collies" I learned my lesson ages ago. But hey your babies had fun and thats all that matters. lol

<*GASP*>

Takes your breath away when you see what they "could do".


The worst "destruction" I ever had was when Cinder was a teen-ager pup -
She got left alone with the Kat on days I went to visit Mom in her Apartment -
which strictly forbade Critters of any kind.

I came home to chewed "skirts" on a chair and couch ... and a submissive *pee* problem. http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/mad.gif
Cinder spent a lotta time in the basement when I went on later visits.
After Pet Talk was found, and I got some GREAT Training Ideas ...
she and Smokey are trusted to roam the house if I have to leave them. We've had many years of "issue-free" days alone - sometimes as many as 14 hours.

I should Thank God more often for the Blessings of my well-behaved mutts!

Oh goodness, what a mess. Thanfully no one was hurt from the glass or any other object for that matter.

You know I was going to start trying Kaige out of his crate when I leave the house for longer periods of time but your post might of changed my mind. lol

Omg Goodness! Those little angels did all that? :p I think you're blaming the wrong dogs here. It must have been the neighbors dogs. :D

I let Travis sleep in my room one night without being in a crate....bad idea. I woke up to a chewed up wall, a scratched up door, and a chewed up dresser. They are such destructive things. But ofcourse it's hard to stay mad at them when you look at their adorable faces.

Hey Buddy, Kaige Man here. I toldz my ma what you toldz me. Said dat maybe if she gave me a chance I'd scare away dose things outside too. I told her I'll try to be a good boy and ruin anyfing of herz. I won't tell her tha truf though cause I really only like to tear da stuff up cause I tink its a toy or somefin. My favorites are pillowz but ya never know what I might think is fun next. heeheehee
I hope ma doesn't see this, she said shed think 'bout it and might give me more chances when she startz her new job. (I don't want her to change her mind again) She sayz I won't be able to come wiff her anymore unless I need to see da Doc. I don't like tha soundz of dat one bit. I'm not sure if I'd raver be at home or at the doc office.
I luv my ma too but yeah, they just don't listen to us dogz.
