Puppy proofing

We don't usually keep cushions down the sides of the television.

George thinks I am getting obsessive. Every time we go outside and all he wants is a great big adventure, mum says, 'Do you want to do wees or poos? For mummy?'
'No, mum, I want to throw myself off this wall ... whoops! Don't laugh! I meant to roll over like that.'

He is definitely descended from Harvey's line: I caught him chewing a sock stolen from my washing basket.

The puppy stole a sock? Hmmmm. My old dog Muffin stole so many of my socks that, had they all been taken apart, there would have been enough thread to weave a couple of suits for me.

Such great photo... and I don't blame you for taking so many of George (which, by the way, makes me giggle, it's my husband's name LOL!) - I know I would do the same! :)

I'm on a quick Thanksgiving tour around my blogging friends... because I'm not very active in the blogosphere right now. Too few hours in a day!

You've killed him. No he's just sleeping, worn out from all that fun.

Mutley grabs shoes or slippers to hold in his mouth whenever someone arrives in the house .. he then runs about with it and leaves it somewhere else...

Nick, Harvey used to eat whole socks - and then pass them out the other end! It was always a pleasure to be out with him when he did that!

I'm sure George will be the same, 4kids. Harvey always was.

Gledwood, thank you for finding the link for me. I've read all about digital but still don't understand it.

Oh, yes, james, much love.

I thought you'd not been around much, sabine.

In between being full of beans and biting everything, he curls up and snoozes regularly. A nice life, jmb.

Harvey used to do that, Mutley. He'd go frantic if he couldn't find anything. Even when we'd been out for a walk together, he'd still want to get in through the door first so he could find something to greet me.

Forget the socks! Our Robbie got into my daughter's purse and took a $10 bill...I found it the next day cleaning up the "u no wut" in the garden. I offered it back to daughter, but she declined. lol

Ah hah! He's starting. Soon you'll have to wear non-matching socks because that's all you'll have...heheh!

He's so cute though

You can't be too careful and that is too cute.

Aaaaaaah! He is so gorgeous!

He is SO CUTE.

Our previous dog Alice was really big on stealing socks. Our dog Diva doesn't steal them often but every once in awhile she'll grab something else really inappropriate, like a rug or a blanket, and start trying to tear it to shreds! She does these things when she's frustrated about something I think!

Mauigirl said...

Oh, and speaking of consuming things, Alice once ate half a bra. She had grabbed an old one of mine and was running around with it and the next thing I knew there was only half of it left.

It didn't come out the other end. She waited three days and then it came back up the way it went down!

Now that is a cute picture.

The soft toy is almost as big as him...
