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.

Hey, Guinness' Mom, give Guinness a break. He was just being a good dog and checking out the treats for you. What if they weren't good enough to give away? BTW, they weren't! So can he have the rest of them? Please..... Ned and Clancy

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Hey, Guinness! Jackdoodle here. I'm sure you didn't steal those treats! I know you wouldn't steal treats that were a birthday gift for a buddy, right? A buddy in Illinois who never, ever gets anything good to eat cause his mom isn't a good cook like yours? Right? Murphy must have done it, and set you up!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Guinness, We don't believe a word of this....we know you are nice :) Fudge and Vern

[Anna and Achilles]

oh no Guiness, Next time try not to get caught! Achilles

[Dori & Rua]

Jane! GIve Guinness a break. Hey, you were the one who messed up. What were you THINKING putting Salmon treats anywhere in the house? Rua and Guinness share several common bonds....Mini's, Irish and "nose tracking"! Rua's nose will go into hyper-drive sometimes...must be the Golden Retreiver in her....she can smell the proverbial needle in a haystack!

[BG and Gavin]

Must be something in the air. Gavin has a confession to make today too. For the first time ever, he let us down while he was left alone. He chewed up a card and some pictures that my SIL from Chicago sent us. :( DH has been giving him the silent treatment and he has been appropriately "sucking up!"

[Camilla and Darwin]

Naughty boy Guinness. But I'm impressed by your tracking skills... LOL

[Clifford, Cloud, Jake..and Kim]

Oops! I'm sure he was just doing some quality control - after all he is a very responsible doodle and wouldn't want to send sub-par treats for a gift so he had to taste them to make sure they were up to his standards.

[Suzann, Rosey & Bandit]

Guinness!!! Now what will I get for my birthday??? Rosey chewed a plug off of a lamp cord today. But not meeeee I am a good boy!! You better start behavin' cuz SANTA is watchin you!!

[Carol and Banjo]

Jane....This is sooooo funny!!!! So glad Murphy is the "good son" for a while! After all his work these days he deserves to "shine" a bit! Funny little Guinness!!!
