naughty doggies

if sam had a doghouse, he would have been in it after his behaviour over the last few days. first he chased sweaters, then he caused me grievous footy harm, and as if that wasn't enough, he started chewing on my new plum tree in the garden! branches were harmed! he's only allowed there under heavy guard now.

still, reading about other dogs' mischief, such as mountain dogs munching money, terriers teasing with tasty bones or hounds helping out with halting economy, makes me realise that sam isn't a particularly mischievous mutt after all. just... average. with big teeth and a lot of weight.

with a steady supply of branches and bones that are okay to chew, toys and insects that are okay to chase, and walks where it's okay to go mad a little, he seems to be contained. for now.

There is no kwestion: Sam is a truly outstsanding, normal, DOG! We are little dogs so we chew on twigs instead of branches. Keep on chewing, Sam! Love, your PaLs, LuLu and LoLLy.
