"Tails" of Destruction!!!

This is what happens when you leave a puppy alone for the first time AND you are convinced by your husband to leave him with access to the inside of the house :-)

Murphy the Clever!

He has been with us for a week tomorrow, and already he knows how to get in and out of the dog door - of course, we had to put a small step there when we found him stuck with his front legs in and his butt wiggling outside!!!

Today, about 10 minutes ago, I lost my ADSL connection, and upon looking under the desk, found Murphy with a piece of cable in his mouth ..... he chewed through it.  Luckily for everyone involved, I am a horder of things, and promptly found another cable, and have hidden all the other cables behind a screen (also known as a briefcase!!!).  I am working from home today, as feeling a little ill, so you can imagine if I had to call the office and say "Sorry, no work today, my dog ate my cable" .... :-)

He is pretty clever.  We have blocked off all the possible exits that a little puppy could squeeze himself through, and get to the outside world.  Or we ThOUGHT we did .......... until yesterday, when I was in the front yard, chatting to a friend, and here came Murphy .....
Could not figure out what he did, until late last night, when we put the dogs out whilst we ate, and we saw him CLIMB up onto the wood pile, and climb OVER the barricade.
Needless to say, we have a new LARGE TALL improved barricade there now ........ so let's just see.

Cheers

OMG I am sooooooooo tired!!!

I totally forgot how tireing a new puppy is.  You can't sleep in, can't sleep early, have to watch him ALLLLLLLL the time in case he widdles in the house (even after you have sat outside for 2 hours, and he did NOT widdle) :-)

He has a "tentative" name - Murphy.  It suits him, and until John says NO, that is his name.

Ruby decided she liked him yesterday afternoon - because he tried to play ball with her.  So, she liked him.  And this morning, she liked him too - once again, because of the ball.  Captain snapped at him early this afternoon, but I think that was because Murphy was trying to hang off his ear :-)

*sigh* - he is CUTE, but, please, LORD, let him sleep all night :-)
