While the cat's away, the mice (or mouse in this case) play! :)

Well last night Brent arrived home to quite a surprise...he hadn't securely latched Ziggy's kennel door shut. And that can mean only one thing - Ziggy went from looking like this:

to behaving like this (but worse):

I was on the phone with Brent as he pulled into his driveway. He notice that his t.v. was on and commented that he must have left it on all day. Then, as he got out of his car, Ziggy's little head popped through the curtains very excited to see that Brent had finally arrived to play. As soon as Brent saw Ziggy in the window he said - "oh my gosh, somehow your dog got out of his kennel..." He opened the door to his house and all I could hear him say was - "OH MY GOSH!!! OH MY GOSH!!! YOU'RE DOG HAS DESTROYED MY HOUSE!!!" At some point (I'm sure very early on in the day - while Brent was at work) Ziggy managed to push his way out of his kennel, and then began his party! He destroyed all of the following...if not more:
Brent's rubber hunting boots, all his remotes (thus the reason for the t.v. being turned on), his friend's Notre Dame hat, an X-Box controller, all his pillows, and worst of all - his COUCH!!! And to top it all off he left piles of urine and poop all over the house for Brent to clean up - including a pile of poop right on Brent's bed!
I will say I truly understood Brent's anger...but what could he expect. He left Ziggy (a one year old puppy) all alone for over 12 hours! Poor Ziggy didn't even know he had done anything wrong. When Brent walked in the door he just wagged his tail excited to see he was home! To him he had just had the funnest day of his life!

So once it was all said and done and Ziggy was locked up in his kennel for the night, this is probably what he had to stare at all night long...


POOR ZIGGY!!! He definitely received no love from Brent last night. (but he should probably be thanking his lucky stars that he's still alive) :)

Oh my gosh, I'm dying laughing. That is freaking hilarious. (However, not for Brent.) I'll try to keep Tony from seeing this -- you may not ever be able to bring Ziggy over again. :) haha...

Oh my - good thing we love our dogs! I can see Grandma B's Frisky and my Lilly doing something like this! OH my - looks like a new sofa is needed!

The poop is the part that is unbearable for me!!! It's like the dogs decided that is a great way to mark their territory -and really do they think wagging their tails when we arrive home is really going to make everything okay??? Hopefully Brent is laughing over it now!
