As I've mentioned before, I'm a volunteer puppy raiser for Guide Dogs for the Blind. My current puppy, Drexel, generally has very good house manners. When I'm getting ready in the morning, he will stay in a "down" outside my bedroom door . . . except for last Saturday, when he found something else to do.
Thanks for cute dogs, even the naughty ones.
Now, Drexel isn't the only one who made a mistake here. The ball of yarn should have been out of reach. Also, I goofed when I said, "Leave it." That's not a guide dog command. I quickly caught myself and used the correct, "That's enough."
Drexel will be a year old next week, so he's still very much a puppy, but he should continue to mature into a responsible dog.

Every morning our dogs are our alarm clock, far more reliable really - no electricity needed. They sit beside the bed and stare at Chris until he wakes up. Time to go out Dad. Who is the trainer here?
ReplyDeleteOh my, Drexel had a fun time entertaining himself!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! How in the world did he get it around the side table's leg?!? Even working dogs need a little ornery play time, too, I guess. :)
ReplyDeleteI wondered the same thing. I think he must have dropped the ball of yarn, it rolled under the side table,and he pulled it out on the other side of the table leg.
DeleteHe had a great time with the yarn! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, Drexel, you had a big time, didn't you?
ReplyDeleteMaybe he was just trying to be like the artist Christo, who wraps things in fabric. Big things, like buildings.
Thank you for sharing Drexel's antics with us! Reminds me so much of Bella -- the yellow lab we had for 11 years. Such a sweet face -- and he didn't mean to be bad!
