...you awaken at 4 a.m. to him trying to sternly reprimand your leg for having disturbed his sleep by moving unexpectedly.  Now granted, he wasn`t supposed to be on your bed to begin with.  But he`s pretty sure your leg is an unwanted interloper that is directly responsible for having interrupted his beauty sleep.  So he jumps up, growls and stares defiantly at it.  With apparently no inkling that it`s actually attached to you.

I know there are some pet lovers out there because in the past week I`ve heard from 3 different people about the photos of my (sometimes loopy) basset hounds in my Profile.  Care to share any "when good dogs go bad" stories?

I couldn`t help thinking of the Jeff Foxworthy routine when I read the title of this topic - I include that only because I know it`ll bug Jessica.

Hard to count the number of crazy things everyone`s dog has done - eating an entire bag of chocolates that was at the back of the kitchen counter without disturbing anything that was in front of it (did she fly??) is one example.

Just last night our 3yr old Sadie jumped off the bed and left a gift for us on the bedroom floor at 2am.  grrrrrrrrrrr.  It seems everytime we get the dogs back from a weeklong stint at the local kennel they misbehave for a week or two.  It must be complete lawlessness at the kennel.  ugh.

I had 3 dogs many years ago that devoured an entire candy bowl full of brightly colored foil-wrapped Hershy`s kisses one night while we were asleep.

We found little "gifts" all over the back yard the next morning with little pieces of different colored foil sticking out of them.

All I can say is.........  thank goodness they let themselves out before we got up ~ LOL

My dog ate a $20 bill.

It`s always fun when you find the "evidence" of whatever it is they ate in the backyard!  Although, Steve, I can`t imagine you would have wanted to get that $20 bill back.

My sister has a weimaraner, and when he was still a puppy, we would crate him before we left for work in the morning.  I inherited a big bean bag from a friend because she was moving, and I put it in the bedroom Zane the Weimaraner was staying in.  I think it only took one day alone with that thing.  It was NOT in his crate, it was in the vicinity of his crate, definitely not leaning up against it.  When we came home, he had somehow sucked it through the bars of his crate and shredded the entire thing.  He was knee deep in bean bag stuffing (as was the rest of the bedroom), and there were small shreds of bean bag cover all over the room.  And he had the most depressed look on his face - totally caught red-handed.  Bean bag particles were still blowing out of the heater vents in that room 2 years later.

Most of the craziest stuff seems puppy-related, at least it was for me. I wonder how my dog reached her current age (12) given what she did as a pup. She ate everything, and that`s not overstating things.

She alternatively demolished/devoured half of a couch, much of the carpeting in the house I was renting (see ya deposit), socks, boxers, wood - the boxers were interesting, because those did reappear after a short time. Ah memories.

I fell asleep once on the couch waiting for the powerball drawing.  When I woke up my dog had eaten my ticket.  Luckily nobody won the jackpot for that particular drawing.
