Good days and Bad days

We all have em... so do our dogs...

Peaches was caught by my wife vaccuming the kitchen table..... the ultimate low was that she was on it! first time for that little trick...

It just seemed like one thing after another yesterday... cleaning the table.... using our children as agility jumps... ankle biting.... brushing her teeth with the cat....

hopefully we don't have another one of those in a while

it always comes all at once too. its either a great day with no problems or a terrible day where everything goes wrong. for me its when brandon is being really good, bo decides its time to act up or if bo is being really good brandon decides its his turn. but i love the days where they are both being really good

but its even worse when they are both being bad

but i guess i asked for it when i decided to get a puppy for a two year old.

Yes, Erin, you must have a lot of patience to have a puppy and a toddler!

Oh, this sounds SO familiar! We go weeks and weeks, maybe months and Wally is SO good---and then, it's like he's lulling us into a false sense of security so he can then wreak havoc! (He really though he had me this week-I came home to find the Entertainment Book in the middle of the kitchen floor, partially shredded---joke was on him, it had expired that day!)
Oh well, that's what keeps life interesting!

a boxer on the kitchen table....welcome to my world

I think you've hit a nerve, Dragon. We have the same thing with Buddy. Although I have to say that the closer he gets to 2 years, the better he gets. He's even become cuddly.

But then there are those days! He's grabbing his paws around my ankles trying to get me to stop walking away from him and play with some toy or barking at me when I'm on the phone or chasing the dust mop like it's a white rabbit. I know then it's time for a Segway run!

I've caught him standing up looking at what's on the counter top, but so far he's not nabbed anything from it. Yesterday he was pacing in the kitchen whining as I prepared chicken for our supper. It just so happened that he's got chicken for his raw food so I put it down for him. He looked at me like "You've got to be kidding! That's dog food!" How does he know these things?????

yeah Peaches likes to peek onto the table and counters... She sometimes puts her paws up but often she will just jump to get a quick glimpse.

LOL Ruby will do a little jump to check out whats in her bowl when I'm carrying it over to her mat - she doesn't actually jump on me she just sort of lifts her front paws off the ground has a little peak and then runs over to her mat. She also does what we refer to as "the shark just swam by" when we are preparing food she will walk past the bench - on the opposite side to where we are, put her nose up in the air and walk back and forth, from our side of the bench all you can see is this nose and part of her dribbly mouth sticking up in the air like a sharks fin

. Knock on wood we haven't had any counter or table surfing.

Roddy dosen't bother with the shark move he just sticks his front paws right up on the table to see what's up there, EVERYTHING has to be pushed wayyyyy back or else it belongs to Roddy. Also, he is a clever little so-so, once Graham and I have finished eating our dinner he will come over and smozzle with me and put his paws on my lap, like for a cuddle, but it's all a ploy to see if there is any food left on the table that's worth pinching, I wised up to that one quick enough!
