WHO'S BEEN NAUGHTY..AND WHO'S BEEN NICE????

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

So for everyone who knows my two Doods you've probably already answered this question. Guess what, you've probably guessed wrong. Yes, Murphy is "Nice", while his brother, Guinness, is the "Naughty" one. Here's what happened today with "the boys". It was a bit of a frantic day with all the Thanksgiving shopping, cooking and cleaning. While I was in the shower I apparently didn't close my closet door all the way. When I finished with the shower, I noticed there were NO Doods laying there at the bathroom door waiting for me....hmmmm, how unusual. I didn't think too much about it because DH was also home so I thought maybe they were with him. I finished in the bathroom and then came into the bedroom where I spotted Guinness hiding half way under the bed and looking VERY guilty while Murph was across the room staring at him. I went over to see what was going on and I found Guinness with a "prize". Yesterday I went to a Dog Bakery to find some very special salmon treats to send to one of our favorite DK buddies who is about to have a birthday. I had them wrapped (in a zip lock bag) and put into a box with a bow. I then put them in my closet until I could mail them tomorrow. While I was in the shower Guinness (Mr. Naughty Doodle) got to the Birthday Treats. He brought them out of the closet and under the bed where he could have a "feast". Murph wanted nothing to do with any of this. He didn't even want to get too close to his "naughty brother", but he was watching, and drooling. Murph is such a good boy...right now he's my favorite "son". So, I've decided no more of those "nose tracking" classes for Guinness. He was able to smell these treats through the zip lock baggie on a bottom shelf in the closet. I think his tracking skills are just fine.

Something is going on with our doodles too. Fudge just chewed my new wool blanket and she never chews anything. I thought she was my "good" dog. Vern prefers shoes and if they are new, all the better.

I can see Mattie doing this, too--but after she sniffed them out and found them--Lyric would snatch them up!

[Linda and Murphy]

Murph,
its great to be the" favorite son", isn't it?
(We won't tell mom that is was only cuz you couldn't fit under the bed.) That Guinness is clever like a cat. Surprised he didn't try to pin the evidence on you, I'm sure this has happened before only you got blamed.
Be careful, Dood. He's a sly one, that Guinness.
your pal.
Murphy

Hmmm... I agree with "BruceGirl" - must be something in the air. Sedona (the practically perfect doodle), who's never damaged the house (except for a few piddle accidents as a puppy), scratched the paint off the bedroom's door frame the other day. Guess our doods don't know about Santa and the whole "you'd better watch out" thing!!!!

[Phoebe's Mom]

Its always the quiet the ones, isn't it?

Hey Guinness, looks like you have that tracking down real well...

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

Oh man Dood! One Ah #J$% wipes out all your Atta Boys! How fair is that. Hope you got to eat lots of them before you got caught!

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

The best part of this story...Guinness's behind sticking out from the bed, I can just picture it! LOL.

[Nancie & Gracie Doodle]

and wasn't it Murph who was having "boot camp" to learn a few things???? Hummmm...sounds like he has caught on really fast how to be the "good dood" in the family...ha ha

[Smita, Ollie and Juno]

Hey Guinness,
Next time make sure you eat all that wrapping paper stuff. Leave no evidence! That way nobody will know you were naughty...
