This month’s Real Simple just came in the mail and I was, of course, overly excited. I got the chance to do a quick browse and get some ideas brewing for my monthly post, but planned on developing everything further this afternoon. That is, until I came home to this.
You may recall how we’ve started to trust Charlie a bit more while alone in the house, by making the big move of taking the crate out of the house. Ladies and gentlemen, I eat my words. Our little pup decided to have a battle of epic proportions with my beloved magazine and the destruction was a sight to behold. Not only did the massacre take place in front of our entry door, but he also carried the remains throughout the house. From our lovely white rug in the living room…
…all the way back to our den.
It was quite the literary bloodbath. Le sigh. So, my monthly RS roundup may be postponed until the next go round, unless I can get my hands on a non-mangled copy before then. Charlie was very regretful of his episode, complete with lowered tail and the saddest little face you could imagine. I bet he had a grand ol’ time ripping my mag to shreds, so I can’t really blame him too much. At least it’s only paper, right? I think I’m going to eat my words again…
Can you hear me laughing all the way from Florida? These pictures are hilarious. Too bad about the RS Roundup, though. Of course, it was great as ever. And did you get the extra RS Family addition. Great info for a young family, back to school, etc. I’ll save mine for you if you want. Sorry, I just looked at the pictures and laughed again!!!
Oh my gosh. That it stinkin’ hilarious! Super sad that your mag was destroyed, but what a funny sight!!
Oh Audrey! I’m so sorry Charlie did this to your magazine! It’s almost as if he is channeling his cousin Luca!!! You are handling it with dignity though ;-) Can’t say I would be able to keep my cool if Luca did the same thing.
Great pictures by the way!! Really captures the event – I feel like I’m there :-)
Wow. Geesh. Glad I have a cat. :) So you thinking about putting the crate back up? … or has Charlie learned his lesson?
love this!!! and thank you for the ‘blog link love’!!!
Oh, Charlie!
@alice: I think we’ll keep the crate out of the house, despite this minor set back. we have faith… we’re idiots, but we have faith. :)
Hahahahaha. It’s still sooo funny.
But Charlie looks so sweet and innocent! I usually devour great mags like RS, but Charlie takes it to a completely new level. Hope he enjoyed his ‘read.’
One of those life learning lessons. :)))))))) Great pics! He was just having a little separation anxiety.
Oh no! Boo rats boo! Well, at least he didn’t swallow it all and vomit back up later all over everything… Because (I’ve heard…) that happens.
Oh, I’m dying this is so funny! At least he chose a magazine and not lovely couch cushions :)
