No matter how much fun you had today, you didn’t have as much fun as Thurston did doing this to a 4 pack of toilet paper:
Here is the guilty party. Notice, he doesn’t even look like he feels guilty.
It’s like he’s saying “Oh, that? Yeah, I did it. Fuck you. Whatcha gonna do about it?”

My late, great boxer dog Bart once got into the baby’s diaper pail while we were out and shredded the contents. When we got home, it looked like it had snowed in the house. Did I mention these were DIRTY diapers?

Assuming he ate a bunch of it, his poopies will wipe his little puppy behind for a day or two, so there’s that.

Cole, talk to me when Thurston figures out how to get the refrigerator open. It was not a good day when my cocker spaniel figured out how to do that.
He ate all the leftovers from my meal for company the night before. Three chicken breasts in white wine sauce, wild rice and 3/4 of a homemade chocolate cream pie. On the positive side, he didn’t choke on the chicken bone and didn’t die from eating all the chocolate. On the negative side, he apparently did not care for my homemade pie crust because he licked out all the chocolate and left the crust.
I literally (and I mean literally) had to tape the fridge shut with duct tape after that.

@WaterGirl: My Cocker ate two loaves of Italian bread in about 45 seconds. I set a grocery bag down at his level about that long. He knew that meant the stuff was his. If he was quick. Which he was.

@WaterGirl: I feel horrible for laughing at that. Not horrible enough to stop, but horrible nonetheless.
Cole, when you tell people Thurston is half poodle, do they look at you like you’re nuts?

Black Woman Locked In Psych Ward For 8 Days Because Cops Couldn’t Believe She’s A Businesswoman
An African American business woman from Long Island was drugged and locked in a hospital psych ward for eight days because first police, and then doctors could not believe her high-powered career was real.
The hideous ordeal began last September as 32-year-old former Citigroup banker Kam Brock drove her BMW through Harlem. The NYPD pulled her over, accused her of being high on marijuana and impounded her car. No weed was ever found in the vehicle.
The next day, she went to pick up her vehicle and confronted officers about her treatment. She was forcibly sedated, cuffed, and sent to Harlem Hospital. On arrival, she was locked up in the psych ward as an ‘Emotionally Disturbed’ person.
“Next thing you know, the police held onto me, the doctor stuck me with a needle and I was knocked out,” Brock recalls. “I woke up to them taking off my underwear and then went out again. I woke up the next day in a hospital robe.”
But this was only the beginning of her nightmare. As the New York Daily News reports:
Kam Brock’s frightening eight-day ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’ ordeal at the mental facility included forced injections of powerful sedatives and demands she down doses of lithium, medical records obtained through her suit filed in Manhattan Federal Court show.

@Suzanne: Mine once presented my mother with a present of a squirrel tail. When I got home, I was to to deal with what my dog had done. I patted him on the head and told him he was a good hunter and then threw the tail over the wall into the wood. He seemed happy with his praise. He also liked watermelon.

I don’t see any poodle in Thurston at all. Lovey looks slightly poodly in the face. Not Thurston.

@mark: It’s been talked about here. Is there a reason you have posted the story three times? Do you feel that this issue has had insufficient discussion on this blog? I am not thrilled by the lack of discussion the Iran nuke deal. It’s not my blog, so I deal.

After months of home improvements, the back bedroom is just about done, and I’m really happy with it. Next up is to finish the front bedroom. I’m thinking of sleeping in there tonight to see how comfortable the mattress is, so I know whether to get the same mattress for the front room — but the room looks so nice I don’t want to actually use it. You know those women that never let anyone in the family use the living room? Am I becoming one of them? Kill me.

The late great Beaux Thibodeaux once chewed up nearly a third of the linoleum floor in our kitchen which my late wife decided was a sign that we really needed to drop 50k on a kitchen remodel.
To this day I think she encouraged him. But the new kitchen was nice.

My greyhound once ‘fetched’ me a mule deer leg. Since he was only gone for a moment, we assume something else ate the rest of the deer. Ugh.

@Betty Cracker: Betty, do you read the Archdruid Report? He claims south Florida will become uninhabitable by 2025. I thought it was already uninhabitable, what with the heat, humidity, mold, mildew, hurricanes, roaches, Burmese pythons, but the Archdruid thinks things will get even worse. What do you think?
Omnes Omnibus
@Karen in GA: I have an agreement with my friends that if I get a minivan they should re-enact the end of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” I just ask that they check to see if it is mine or if I am temporarily borrowing it.

Via Wonkette, a conversation between Alex Jones and jeromecorsiphd about the ‘real’ Obama and the ‘real’ Hillary Clinton. Truly pathological. And Rick Perry thinks the winger problem is all about Donald Trump. Guess again, Rick.

Also, how do people in Burma, or whatever it’s called now, describe those brown and tan snakes? Do they call them Florida pythons?
The Cincinnati zoo has an albino Burmese python, should you wish to gaze upon such a noble beast.

@MattF: I am not getting out of the boat.

@Pogonip: I prefer the Mexican wolves at the C’bus zoo. Once, when I was there one walked up to me and just stared for awhile. I thought it was transcendent; the wolf probably wanted meat.

i read a while back that they’ve figured out that dogs communicate as much with their eyes as they do with sounds. so, it’s not “like” he’s saying that, he’s probably just saying that. also, all those times you thought you’re dog was giving you a guilt trip, they totally were.
ETA: PROOF!

@Pogonip:
I think they just call’em pythons. I’m sure there’s a Myanmar word for that kind of snake. In Malaysia we call it ular sawa.

I have a long list of things that my pup has destroyed. She ate one arm of the leather couch, two wii remotes, a wall, and lots of shoes. She has figured out how to pull open the kitchen drawer that holds the trash can and can reach anything on the counters that is not shoved all the way to the back wall.

Our cat found my mom’s box of maxi-pads on the floor of her upstairs hall closet and had a big old time with them – shredded feminine hygiene products as far as the eye could see.

That four-pack was busy dissin’ you. That four-pack dissed my mamma! I took down that four-pack for you!” — Thurston, lying through his sharp little puppy teeth.
You think puppies are destructive? The Spousal Unit’s godsdamned rescue CAT has chewed holes in several hundred dollars’ worth of clothing in just the two years since he was pawned off on us. Expensive dresses, tee shirts, boucle jackets, jeans, socks, towels, blankets, nylon brushes — he’ll hook open drawers and perform amazing climbing feats to satisfy his depraved appetite (actual veterinary diagnosis). We have to keep the toilet brush bungie-corded in its holder, which he bats all over the bathroom in frustration…

@Omnes Omnibus:
Twenty years ago, we were visiting the SF Zoo, including a special exhibit on their breeding colony of golden lion tamarins. All the little marmosets clustered against the glass gazing up at the Spousal Unit, holding out their little paws & chirping… presumably he just reminded them of a researcher/keeper, but since he looked like a ginger Jerry Garcia (long bushy red hair & full beard), one of the other human viewers couldn’t resist telling him, “They must think you’re their king!”

Hah! One of our dogs ate the seats in our 81 Civic as a puppy. Left her in the car for 20 minutes, came back to find her sitting in this mound of shredded foam rubber, ginormous grin on her face.
Another one of our dogs tore up 3/4ths of the linoleum in the kitchen.
Toilet paper?? BAH! Amateur!
