How Soon We Forget

That's the thought that went through my mind yesterday, when I opened my back door and found my rug ripped up and balled in a corner, couch pillows pulled off the couch, lamp laying across the table and the picture frames laying on their sides. After sending the dogs outside to potty I came back inside to inspect the damage. As of now I’ve only found the rug torn up, everything else just looks like a bad case of a bored teenage puppy.

I KNEW he is not himself at this time, I KNEW he is more destructive, energetic, etc.etc.. but I suppose I let the “goodness” of this weekend to lull me into a calm.  It looks like he had a couple episodes of the “scoots/crazies” and just ran around the house like crazy, bouncing of the couch, chairs, banging into whatever happened to be in his way. 

But nothing else was torn. 

My problem is I feel bad if I don’t get to exercise them thoroughly, before I leave for work.  Cooping them up for another four hours or so, just sounds like a recipe for a ticking time bomb of energy when I get home..
That and well..We’ve not a had a problem before so why start now. Because he’s a TEENAGER NOW ERIN! DUH! 

Needless to say he is currently residing in his crate; probably taking a KONG induced nap.

WHO ARE YOU AND WHERE IS MY PUPPY??

 Anxiously waiting for the "Snip Snip" letter....
