okay now that is not okay

[boxofdelights]

Now I know what Matilda's face looks like when she has been scolded.

Awwwww noooooooooo😭❤️

[boxofdelights]

It was inevitable. Maybe I should have named her Sunny, after Sunny Baudelaire.

[sartorias]

Aw, she's vultching. (The vulture head hang.)

[boxofdelights]

Yep, everything about that posture says "Sorry!" but you know and I know she's going to do it again.

[jesse_the_k]

That is some epic chaos!

Did she tear the carpet lengthwise?

[boxofdelights]

Yep, that carpet was intact three weeks ago. Then she chewed a hole in it, and it turned into one giant chew toy.

The books, though! I can't move them all out of her reach, and I can't just accept the depredations. We are going to have to learn some rules around here.

I have to admire the giant chew toy right next to the chewed carpet.

[boxofdelights]

Ha, yes, she is not chewing books because she has nothing that it is okay to chew!

Maybe it's her ACD heritage?

Our Lucy was A Lot of Work and it was worth it in the end.

Is crating a possibility?

Re: Maybe it's her ACD heritage?

[boxofdelights]

I do put her in her crate at night and when I leave the house, but she hates it, so I don't use it when I am at home and awake.

Re: Maybe it's her ACD heritage?

[jesse_the_k]

Yeah, our girl loathed her crate so much she took it apart.

As I'm sure you're aware, the key to keeping most dogs happy (and in particular, ACDs) is give them a job! Tire them out! It's a challenge.

But the old, acid-y paper is so *tasty*, mom!

[boxofdelights]

It really is. And what could be more satisfying to chew than fluffed-up wood?

[pameladean]

OH NO. Between that face and the destroyed book, this is just a scene of unalloyed tragedy.

Well, aside from Matilda's being so darn cute.

P.

[boxofdelights]

Good thing she's so cute.

[kore]

Oh sweetie noooooo

(PD James! I love her)

[boxofdelights]

PD James and RA Lafferty! The girl's got taste.

[lunabee34]

Awwww. :(

[boxofdelights]

I love her so much though!
