Please....remind me again why I love my dog?

[ramanth]

Woke up this morning and found my copy of 'The Hobbit' nearly obliterated. Haven't even finished reading it yet.

She spared the cover for once and went for the meaty part of the book.

She KNOWS better. Why is it that some nights she's great and some mornings I wake up to a disaster area?! arggghh!!

I don't want to lock her in her crate at night, but she's giving very few options.

I gave her the cold shoulder all morning. When I found the books remains I pretty much yelled at a blank wall. Kia had enough sense then to not cross my path.

*takes a deep breath* I love my dog. I love my dog. I love my dog. I love my dog.

Sorry... just had to vent..

(btw...This is my first time reading the Hobbit.)

Kia you are a Bad Girl! Maybe Kia wanted to read it also! But since she dont have thumbs she had to change pages with her mouth.

[Rio and Me]

Since she's a TV star she thinks she'll get speciel treatment,lol

Ooooooh, Kia... NAWtee Dawg!

As for the Krate vrs "other options" ~
Cinder & Smokey both spent the urlee daze at the Ranch
"confined" to a 6 foot area within the bunkroom
by a LEASH secured to a foot of the BigBed.

The Leash gave enough "room" to jump up on the BigBed
for *sungglez wiff Dad*,
yet prevented un-authorized Kat Chazes, excessive water consumption,
annnd *chewin on stuff*

Mite wanna consider the *leash option* instedda da Krate.

I have asked myself that same question many times when Max does something he KNOWS he's not supposed to. And I keep coming up with "Cause he's wonderful!" If you don't believe me, just ask him!!

[Kfamr]

Who besides eating a book also chewed on the cats cardboard scratching post.



Nothing like finding cardboard, catnip, and a some chapters of The Hobbit all rolled into one.

'Bout 4 feetz worth of da Leash had gone downa-hatch
when I decided to *sunggle-up* wiffa Dad onna BigBed.

Sorta woke him up when I *plopped* down side hiz hed onna pillow -
lil bit *further* than da Leash wuld normally allow...
He started givin chinny *skritchez* - till hiz finners found -

da *Chewed-Off* end of dat Favorite Leather Leashy...

OMG! What a FAST TRIP we made down into da Basement!

Oh the frustration of a torn up book Been there!!

We have a copy of the Hobbit, if you'd like I can bring it Memorial Day so you can finish

[sabies]

Bad girl Kia! Even TV stars have to behave (ok so maybe there are some bad role models out there).

I know how you feel Kimmy, I came home to trash all over the house and dog vomit in the bed. My fault, I didn't cover the trash, but you would think the fact that it makes her vomit would deter future episodes.

Kia are you an insomniac? You should sleep at night!

[captain]

OH Phred ......... you had me in stitches .... !!!

KIA - oooooooo, naughty girl ........... but, I have to ask,....... did you enjoy The Hobbit? Not a bad book, hey?!

[MariaM]

Bad dog Kia! We all know The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings are wonderful books but maybe you could have waited until you got a rawhide?
