Even at 2 Years Old....

Peri can still decide to be destructive sometimes.  I think this picture (although it is dark), sums up her thoughts pretty well.  After a dinner night with friends last Saturday, we came home to DH's legal notes shredded up.  Lucky for us (and Peri) she did not get into some bigtime case files he had boxed up in his office area (which is shared with the dog's playroom). 

 

Sooo, even though they say puppy stage lasts until age 2, that doesn't mean you will have a mellow, non-destructive doodle by then :)

Yep, she was mad I am pretty sure. We came home and she wasn't even ashamed.  Came up and wanted pets :)

I think after age 2, the destruction is less for fun, and more to send you a message.  "I'm unhappy that you went to dinner without me."  Halas doesn't really destroy things, but he will try to steal a slipper or underwear or socks and run around with them if he thinks you aren't paying enough attention to him.
