Is this my dog?

I saw this and immediately emailed it to Kyle.  This is 100% our Mulligan.  He has shredded countless beds in his crate.  Recently he shredded Kennesaw's bed when we left them over night at daycare for a few days. He has put holes in his new "king bed".  And the best part: he totally gives us the same "I don't know what happened" look.

Death of Bed #2

My dog is the love of my life. I love and adore him. But it should not be news to anyone that he acts like a fool and it a total menace. Sure, it comes down to pure bad training and lack of discipline but really … what makes him destroy beds?! I have it down to a few ideas.

1. he is trying to tell us to keep him out of the crate.
2. he is bored out of his freaking mind for 9 hours.
3. he just likes to frustrate us.

I think it is a combo of all three. I think he likes to frustrate his mom and dad. And I think he is trying to say “hey, put me in that crate and I will destroy my bed” … but I also think that he just does get bored. I mean, I could only sleep so many hours if I was in a crate all day. Poor animal. Poor bed. Poor mommy’s bank account.

RIP Red amazing bed. If I was a dog I would love you. You were comfy and corduroy and amazing. I thought it was a great find of $40 at the local Petsmart. Mulligan loved it too, for about a week. He would play with it, lay on it, drag it around the apartment and then all of a sudden BAM the bed was no more. He destroyed the comfy piece of heaven. I wonder how much he will love just sleeping on the hard plastic. I wonder how fast he would destroy blankets or towels. ….I wonder how long he will destroy things for?! … Will he ever grow out of this phase of his life?! Please please please!!

So what is next?! Kyle really thinks I should put Mull’s $100+ Orvis ‘ToughChew’ bed in his crate. I think yeah right … give my dog 9 hours and he can totally destroy it. I did some research and lots of dogs have eaten through the “non destructible” bed so I do not want to take that risk even if they will refund your money 100% or give you a new one. I just wish Mull would not destroy things. Why is he such a jerk?!

The Crate... continued.

A few days ago I told you that my dog hated his crate. I now have evidence. Please see the pictures included. To the right it is from a distance and to the left it is zoomed in. If you're wondering what happened - let.me.tell.you - he shredded his crate bed in attempt to say I HATE MY CRATE GET ME OUT OF HERE!

I can only imagine what was going through his little puppy brain today. He thanked me for his stick (it's a rawhide treat he gets every morning) ... he ate it ... it was gone - he can eat it in 4 seconds flat ... so he started screaming and barking to get out. No one answered, no one let him out. He slept some because he was super tired. He woke up and said F this mom and day. He then decided it was time to act out and get some energy out. Cue digging a

nd chewing. ...I think Mulligan thought that his Friday should not be spent locked up...

My boyfriend came home to a snow like filled bathroom. I guess Mully was just answering his request for snow and gave it to him in the form of fluff. I got the great honor of sweeping it all up and throwing the bed away. Luckily it was only his $40 Petsmart bed and not his $200+ Orvis one ... now I know why we invested in the "tough chew" indestructible bed.
