My dog is too smart

In yesterday's post I talked about why LeeLee the leash killer had to strike again. I didn't talk about one thing, how she chewed the pink leash.

She got Phod's blue leash because the drawer int he bench where the leashes are kept was open.

The bench where the leashes use to live


When Man took her our after the groundhog affair, the pink leash was in one piece. He put it in the drawer. Later, when Lady went to take her out, she opened the drawer and the leash was in 2 pieces. The Man and Lady couldn't figure out how that happened. 

Then yesterday, they went to the city to celebrate Lady's birthday. When they came back. The drawers were closed but Phod's Lupine harness was out (it had not been out) and was chewed.

The chewed harness


It appears Hailey has learned how to open the drawers, take things out to chew and close the drawers. [We purposely had not taught her to open and close drawers for this reason, guess she figured it out all on her own!]

The leashes now have a new home in the closet (until she figures out how to get those).

Lady gets to figure out how Lupine's return policy for products work to replace Phod's harness he has used like 3 times. 

She had asked at the store when she went to replace the chewed leashes (we need to have leashes)  if they carried Lupine, which they didn't, but they carry RC Pet Products, which also offer replacement for chewing, so she got some of those. Let's see how long before she has to go and replace them . . . . . .


Has your dog ever done something you were both really proud of and frustrated by?????

  3. Monty opens doors - including our back door. This is fine when we let them out during nice weather, but so many times he has let both himself and Harlow back in the house - covered in mud...

  6. We can't wait to hear whether or not Hailey learns how to get into the closet! Thank goodness our dogs are too small to reach our leashes, but Jakey has been known to chew through car seat harnesses and leaping into Mama's lap when we are travelling...

  16. That's a really clever trick and how clever to hide the evidence by putting the leash back!

  17. I was impressed as Easy opened the fridge (he was 9 months old) but that I had to remove a whole pack of eggs from the floor was not really funny. I hope the new leashes will last a little longer.
