The Path of Destruction


January 28, 2007. Today I continued to maintain my path of destruction. Now, I understand that I’m not as accomplished at it as some other sheepdogs, but I’m working on it. So far it includes 2 four inch tennis balls, 2 four inch elastic launch balls, and the cover off a 4 inch solid rubber ball. On a more destructive note, I have chewed the wire off a vibrating back cushion, chewed the knob off the gearshift in the van, chewed the passenger side armrest in the van, pulled out the rubber cup holder, and today I totally annihilated the charger for Tom’s cell phone. The other day I destroyed a hot/cold pack filled with flax seeds. I had them scattered from one end of the house to the other. It took 4 days to comb all the seeds out of my fur.

On the park, I was somewhat out of control around other dogs and a female Lab named “Coal” gave me a bit of a scolding. I sure gave both Tom and Renee a workout trying to hold me back. On the bright side, I did respond ok to my emergency recall command, but only while I was on the leash. This afternoon, Renee is flaked out on the couch, I’m passed out on the kitchen floor and Tom is tired, but, typing up this latest adventure.
