Sweet Anubis....has turned into a little terror at times. If we leave him alone and he thinks we've been gone too long, or that we shouldn't have left at all, he tears things apart. Namely my work stuff - highlighters, pens, pencils, and ANY papers left on the arm of my computer desk. I've now learned to put things away - most of the time. He has also destroyed two pairs of Dan's reading glasses. Thank goodness these are glasses that he bought at Walmart and not at the eye doctor! We have a box full of newspapers that we use for fire starter in our woodstove that he has gotten into a couple of times...tiny bits of paper everywhere! And then, to top it all, yesterday he found these somewhere in the yard.....
Yep, two baby gray squirrels. He didn't harm them physically (mentally they'll probably never be the same!), but wanted to play. Fortunately I found him and them before they died. I couldn't just leave the sweet things there to die, so I drove them out to Tumwater to a wildlife rehab place. This sure has been an exciting adventure!

Lucky was a holy terror too when he was that age! He took any opportunity he could to tear something up that he wasn't supposed to, even though we got tons of stuff for him to be allowed to chew on. He eventually outgrew it I guess, because I don't remember anything we did in particular to get him to stop. It's so hard to teach them not to do something, that they're doing when you're not there! One thing I remember the trainer telling us to do was to make sure and wear him out before we left the house, that way all he would feel like doing was to take a nap while we were gone.
Oh, dear. I'm not the least bit tempted to have a puppy. But YOURS iS cute! :)
