I will blog about it tomorrow. <br /><br />Now--it's time to start working in the yard, cleaning up all of the 'junk' from the ice storm. What a mess!!! <br /><br />Hope you are doing well. Sounds like you have the PERFECT dog except when it comes to eating your list... Oh MY!!!!!!<br /><br />About putting numbers on your phone, the best thing about that is that once they are there, you don't have to type in the numbers each time you call them... Just click on their name. SO SIMPLE... I encourage you to do it this way.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-29627438377424495702015-03-15T10:31:26.337-05:002015-03-15T10:31:26.337-05:00Grannie Annie,

Pretty sure I wouldn't have survived the Ibuprofen. Slim must be a breath of fresh air. <br /><br />Keith,<br />Ha ha, cats rule us, not the other way around. That is part of their charm. <br /><br />Barb,<br />Ha,ha that could have had some interesting consequences. Good thing you were on to the trick. Makes me think of a post I need to write.<br /><br />TB,<br />Not in to leafy greens huh? Not many dogs are. Bet he had you trained in no time. <br /><br />Gail,<br />Well if you could have trained them to do it when you wanted it done, all would have been great. Kind of like digging. <br />You are right, it is impossible to hold a grudge with those wonderful creatures. <br /><br />Mary lee,<br />Good point. It did show up in the poop, but the ink had run.

Maybe it was the concentrated scent of you that saved the corners.<br /><br />I've had a dog to strip wallpaper and pile it in a pile after watching me one day. Another dog would devour paper but paper money was brought to me. <br /><br />There's just something about that grateful, oh, I love you forever whether you shave your legs or not look that keeps me in love with canines.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-42420914160066177422015-03-12T12:15:46.058-05:002015-03-12T12:15:46.058-05:00Ok Ok.

Perhaps she just wants to keep you on your toes. I once had a dog who would go into the dirty wash hamper, pull out a pair of my underpants, and leave them on our indoor stairsteps. He would only do this when I left home without taking him. When I arrived back home, he would stand with his tail between his legs waiting for me to discover the underpants. I would always make a big show of scolding him, because he seemed to want that attention. I was glad he didn't do anything more destructive. Also, if I brought anyone home with me, I knew to unobtrusively pick up the pants so they wouldn't be on public display.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984171407726520584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-57513842478048570872015-03-11T07:34:50.965-05:002015-03-11T07:34:50.965-05:00My cat is behaviorally challenged and does not pay...My cat is behaviorally challenged and does not pay any attention to my scolds.

But her predecessors ingested some interesting things from 250 Ibuprofen tablets (and survived), birthday cakes and a whole chicken (bones and all). I am pretty sure Callie knew you calling those people took time away from her and so she destroyed the list.Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-22237726959215397612015-03-10T15:43:21.480-05:002015-03-10T15:43:21.480-05:00Maggie,

Glad I could find your funny bone. <br /><br />Linda R,<br />You just may be right. We try our best. <br /><br />Cheryl,<br />I did have backup in my computer. <br />That is odd. Is she sharpening her claws? Sure would make you tidy about your shoes. <br /><br />NCMountainwoman,<br />I feel your distress. Mighty dog loved poop and dried worms. So far I haven't seen Callie eat creature left overs. <br /><br />Inger,<br />Wow, Bandit lived up to his name and Faith has a really busy past time. I know this has been a really hard time for you and training can just wait. Take care.<br /><br />Kay,<br />Thanks. And yes as much traveling as you do, a pet is out. Plants and trees are much better. <br /><br />Brighid,<br />Wow, he really had strong maternal instincts. How sweet, though probably not for mamma cat. <br /><br />robin,<br />I will post some soon. She has grown since I first got her. She really is special.

Most of my dogs have been after my books, but Faith likes materials. I am so worried about my couch that I leave old blankets around for her to tear up while I have to go to Los Angeles and stay away all day. She doesn't really eat them, just tears them apart. She also likes to tear up papers, so I leave the local newspaper out for her when I have to go.Not a good way to raise a dog, I know, but I don't have the energy to figure it out right now.

Now why Callie chose to eat your list I don't know and has eaten no other paper. Maybe she liked the taste of ink or pencil that you wrote the list with since she left the corners. <br /><br />Chancy loves to eat (used or not) napkins, tissues, toilet tissue and paper towels. We have to keep all of those items out of his reach.

She had a lot to live up to. <br /><br />Manzi,<br />Hey Cody is normal, not sure where Callie got her restraint unless she really hates my cooking. Yes, I got her from the Humane Society. <br /><br />Rita,<br />She is really unusual in that respect. She is the best I have ever had at cuddling. Almost needy. <br /><br />Marty,<br />Ha ha, or at least hidden under a steak. That excuse has such a bad reputation that I can see why kids bring in the remains. <br /><br />Ginnie,<br />I remember that episode and it cracked me up. Too funny.<br /><br />joeh,<br />I had those same thoughts about my computer:)) She just squeaks by being boring with her cuddling and smarts. <br /><br />Blue Ridge Boomer,<br />Yikes, money?? Now that would test my good nature. <br /><br />Terri, <br />I love Dr. Pol also. That is why I checked her stool to make sure it came out and didn't plug her up. <br />Both comments came through. Guess it had a hiccup. <br /><br />Olga,<br />Oh my goodness, a home invasion. How funny yet annoying. Those setters can really move. <br /><br />Stephen,<br />Goodness. At least she didn't swallow the pieces. They really are good at dismantling toys. Nothing is truly dog safe. <br /><br />JJ,<br />Ha ha, that is super funny and a neat way to turn the tables. You had me for a minute. <br /><br />turquoisemoon, <br />How funny.
