Naughty dogs!

My family has been visiting for a few weeks over Christmas and New Year's and therefore, I have not been able to spend much quality time with my dogs. It seems Logan and Chase have had enough of my busy schedule!

Over the weekend, we returned home from a night out and discovered a mess all over the living room floor. Logan, my eldest Doberman, was standing at the kitchen door - as if spooked - with his "wasn't me" expression. Chase was "sleeping" on our bed; he didn't come to greet us at the door. Hmmm. Hubby and I both knew there was no point in scolding them. We had to have caught them in the act.

I was so surprised at their behaviour, as this is really not like them. What shocked me most was that my dogs' destructive 'message' was directed at me. I believe this because the item they tried to destroy was my camera bag. Why hadn't they gone for hubby's laptop??

I don't know if they actually tried to destroy the bag. I mean, it could have been a simple tug-of-war game. Or had a cockroach tried to get into the bag?! Logan hates cockroaches - he chases them and then kills them with his teeth! YUCK! The culprit could have been Chase - Mr Pig - trying to get at some liver treats I may have forgotten in the side pockets of the bag.

Whoever was involved in creating the mess, thank goodness nothing happened to the camera, nor to the leads and cords that had scattered across the floor. The bag has some teeth marks, but nothing serious. The bag was in worse shape when two dogs competitively peed all over it during a photoshoot!

When I went to bed that night, I sat on the floor, pulled both my furry boys close to me and hugged them for awhile. I promised to pay more attention to them and that I appreciate their friendship. I will need them when I say goodbye to my family next week when they return overseas.

Then I made sure the camera bag was out of paws' reach!
