Chris and I took the kids to go see Monsters University yesterday. 

While we were gone, we put our 8 month old German Shepherd puppy, Karlie, in her kennel.

It was hot outside. Too hot for her to be outside. 

So, we thought we were doing her a real favor. 

After the movie, we stopped over at Petsmart to pick her up some new treats and a Kong squeaky toy.

We made a whole shopping list of things to buy Karlie...new dog bed, more toys, treats and more.

 

We pulled in the driveway and saw Karlie sitting in the front window.

What happen? 

She had squeezed herself out of her metal kennel.

Then she went on a rampage.

And pulled out and chewed everything in sight.

Shoes were all over the place.

My snow globes were on two different levels on the house.

Yes...snow globes.

She pulled out pretty much all of Colton's stuffed animals on his bed.

Fabric that I had on shelves in my office.

The bathroom trash.

Our Toothbrushes.

(She mangled them.)

We also found spoons that were left in the sink all over the house.

And the oddest thing we found...

Hand Weights.

We keep all of our hand weights in a back closet down stairs.

She carried out about seven of them and drug them all over.

The heaviest one weighted 8 pounds.

I'm not sure what she was thinking on that one. 

We were happy that nothing of real importance was chewed.

All shoes and stuffed animals were still in tact.

And we had to laugh about it all.

All we could think about what that scene from Turner and Hooch when Tom Hanks character walks in after leaving the dog alone for several hours to an apartment that was completely destroyed.

We had to laugh and Thank God that we didn't come home to that. 

This dog.

I swear it's trying to drive us crazy.

I'm hoping she grows out of the puppy stage soon!

I still remember the dog I had as a kid, coming home to find out that our dog has chewed the hose that connected the air conditioner to the house. Or the time she uprooted and chewed to pieces, the brand new tree my dad had planted in the back yard. I don't think my dad thought either of those times were all that funny. 

Had to share this story today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

BTW - I zip-tied the crap out of her kennel. Hopefully that keeps her in it!
