Devil Dog from Hell number 2

Sebastian: You want my advice? Get a puppy or something.

John Grogan: I've never had a dog.

Sebastian: There's nothing to it. You walk him, you feed him, you let him out every now and again.

Marley and Me by John Grogan

For those of you who have read my blog for awhile,

I'm sure you remember all the antics of 

Cecil, the devil dog from the gates of hell.

Well, I thought when Cecil committed suicide by running in from of that red neck truck, we'd seen the last of "dog crazy".

As you know, it has been well over a week since I have written on my blog---simple answer being--Simba/or Glitzy as I call him, my sons new dog has been up to antics reminiscent of Cecil. 

Last week, off color daughter, Big Daddy and I left the house for just a few short hours to attend a gymnastics exhibition at the local University.  "Glitzy" (his name is Simba because he looks like a lion from behind---but he answers to Glitzy when I call him).  Well Glitzy was left unattended in off color sons room while we were gone.  Upon returning, we find Glitzy has pulled the carpet up from the door way about a quarter of the way into the room.  He'd eaten up the cushioning from underneath and chewed a corner a bit.  We were able to put it back down with only minor damage in one area....but "what the hell."

Sunday, I got ready for church and had one of those 

"moments" where I felt like I'd better put my laptop in the bag--never know what Glitzy will do.  WELL----

that worked for the laptop, but obviously I left just a corner of the plug hanging out.  When I returned from church, Glitzy had chewed up the computer cord and charger that belongs to my laptop.  My battery died and thus I lost access and have not been able to blog for a few days---my new charger from off amazon arrived yesterday.

Monday night, Norman came over to visit off color daughter.  He just got his license to drive so if you live in the state of Kentucky---I'd advice you all to stay off the road for a week or two.   While he was here, off color daughter left her room unattended for maybe five minutes.  When she returned she plugged in her electric blanket that she uses when she is experiencing joint pain.   A few minutes later, poor Norman goes in and sits down on the blanket----Zap----Norman is "shocked" by the blanket.  Well, it appears that off color daughter was gone just long enough for Glitzy to chew the electric blanket cord and controller into several piece but left it connected just enough so electricity would still flow.

First carpet, then a computer charger and now a $80.00 electric blanket--what the hell!!!!

Next day, I come home from working out and Big Daddy proceeds to say, "Simba was a good boy today--for a minute.  He told me he needed to go out to the bathroom, went out and did his "duty" and came back.  I praised him and gave him a treat---not five minutes later he comes to me with a cord sticking out of his mouth.  Guess what he did today?  He has chewed the cord off our desktop printer." 

Good Lord!!!!

Tonight I come home and ask big daddy what kind of damage Glitzy has done---only chewed a light off of the set of Christmas lights (thus we can't plug them in any longer) no major loss since I forgot to check them before I put them up.

Later as off color daughter and I are getting ready for bed, we notice green plastic and wire all around the floor.  We start investigating and discover that 

precious Glitzy has now chewed off the plug of our prelit Christmas tree (no O Christmas Tree for the off color family this year).

So today is a new day

and

no telling what kind of damage Glitzy will do today.

He looks like a sweet little playful over sized dog

saved by off color son from the human society

but

don't let him fool you...

he's just waiting 

for the next item left unattended 

to chew up.

Big Daddy has bought bones upon bones

we've bought chew toys and raw hides....

but

they don't last long.

We now have an over sized

innocent looking

chainsaw mouthed dog....

What were we thinking?

I mean look he is kind of cute!!!

So now I'm back on line--

have a wonderful 

day

...

take a few minutes to enjoy the season

and

all the while

"watch out for your cords".

blessings...
