One afternoon in the summer ………………..

Mum goes out, she tells us she won’t be long and to be good.  Usually we are and just sleep until she comes back.  But today we wanted to play so looked around the room to see what we could find.

The builders have been here a while and leave their stuff stacked neatly in the corner.  Nothing of interest here – just some empty buckets, a ladder, an empty mug on the windowsill.

Boring !!

Then we spotted a paper sack – like the ones our dog food comes in – but it didn’t smell like dog food.  Better have a look though just in case.

Darcey – The Canine Shredder

My dear Brown Roan pup (4 months of age when it started) decided one night that she wanted to give me a warm welcome when I got up the next morning.  I heard no noise from her during the night, but came down in the morning to make breakfast for her and the other furry family members to be greeted with a scene – something like St Patrick’s Day in New York (Ticker tape scene).
