Mischief Monday - A Mess Ends in Trouble


Sunday, it looked like a hurricane had gone through the upstairs living area, and it had, because Hurricane Emma (and Uncle Chris) had come for the weekend. 

Emma getting some love

While that was enough mischief, after Emma left, Lady decided the worst thing ever, that it was time for the semi-annual, pre-Christmas toy cull!  She went around and judged which toys were worth putting back in the box and which were destined for the garbage. She gathered half a white garbage bag.


We think it was a waste of perfectly good bits and pieces of toys. But we are not going to complain too loudly as Santa may be listening and we hope he will see how good we were about losing the best pieces of toys and how empty our boxes are now and bring us lots and lots of new things.

We hope none of your peeps get the same idea . . . .

    OMD that was rash of Lady - better to wait and see what arrives first... it might be such a haul that you then don't notice all the 'litter' being removed!!! hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

  8. The collies are really good to their toys (mostly) so we have way too many. We have washed some and donated them to the local animal shelter. But they weren't really appreciated. So I'm not sure what to do!

  9. I love my old, beat up, shredded toys the best! Some of them are only bits of rags, but they're still my favorites!

  10. That scene occurs here every night. Misty and Timber have a little game they play with each other. When one has a toy/bone/antler that the other wants, the other goes to the toybox and drags out a different item. Then sits a few feet away from the one with the desired item so that eventually that one gets up to come get the new item. This routine gets repeated over and over by each of them until the family room is just a complete mess of toys, bones, balls, antlers, blankets, etc,

    Mom said something here too about the purging of the toy collection.

  12. Peeps just don't know which toys have a bit of chew still left in them. But you're right, keeping them all might mean less toys for Christmas.

  14. I wonder if my Mom does that too? My stuffed caterpillar that had a zillion squeekers in it suddenly disappeared along with the little fox that was leaking stuffing.

  19. (sigh) during the remodeling our toys got culled, we have our paws crossed that Santa will take pity on us and bring us some new ones.

  20. New toys are always welcome. No doubt Santa Paws has some for you in his bag.
