Happy Mother's Day?

[Linda and Murphy]

My engineer DS suprised me on Mother's Day by coming home.  But he had to fly to Houston that afternoon.  So...would I keep Kona (the 6 month old, 60 lb Weimaraner) until he got back on Thursday night (for my graduation).

Did I mention he didn't bring a crate for Devil Dog?  Murphy has a soft sided crate that she immediately ripped through. She spent yesterday at daycare but didn't seem tired at all when she got home. She devours her meals in about 30 seconds.

She spent today at daycare and she still did not seem tired when she got home. (sigh). She inhaled her dinner and was ready for play. The neighbor kids were fishing in the back yard (mostly attracting alligators) so I kept her inside while I talked to them. When I got inside she had moved the sofa against the wall (about 3 feet) with what I can only assume were very enthusiastic zoomies. Murphy's crate was upended and there was stuffing from some poor gutted animal all over the room....and its only 6pm.

As I was sitting down to dinner with a friend (steak and baked potato) someone else showed up at the door. We both got up to talk with him and moved outside. When we got back inside, both plates were absolutely clean and Kona was still chewing on a bone. (Murphy was hiding in what was left of his crate.) She already has digestive issues so I can only imagine what tonight will bring.

 

I found myself telling Kona the same thing I used to tell my youngest ADHD son:  I love you when you're sleeping.

 

 

Happy Mother's Day?

Funny how when they are sleeping we go all soft and forgive the misdeeds of the day.  Good thing god blessed us with short memories where puppies and children are concerned.

Thanks for all the support. LOL  I am getting a hardsided crate today from a coworker.

On the positive side, she is totally housebroken (pun intended) and did not get sick from everything she ate last night. She is spending tomorrow night at day care because I can't get back from New Orleans in time to pick her up. (awww...) 

Murphy did act out a little on Monday. He gave me a card for Mother's Day which I left on the counter.

When I got home he had shredded my Mother's Day card, leaving all the evidence in plain sight.

Guess he wasn't too happy with his Mom.

I just thought of something....your son loves you so much he wanted to give you the gift that keeps on giving :) I would go out and get a spare crate and give him the bill and tell him you got something for yourself that you just found out you REALLY needed.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Wow...that was a surprise for Mother's Day! Tell your son he is old enough now to stop giving you gifts....LOL! Poor Murphy. He doesn't want to be associated with a trouble maker..haha! I think Kim has the right idea. Find something equally suitable for your DS for his birthday.

Murphy's thinking, "This makes me look gooood.  I'll be able to get away with just about anything now."

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

LOL, wow!  Murphy hiding in his crate?  Poor dood.  He is wondering what the heck is going on. I agree with Kim.  Send her a good "present" for her birthday or something :)
