AuburnChick's Adventures

Last night, or should I say early, early, early this morning (1am), I decided I’d better head to bed.  I’d been up late working on lesson plans for a substitute and entering grades.

When I got to my room, I found this…

Sorry for the poor quality of the photo.  Guess the camera on my phone was sleepy too.

But, if you look closely, you’ll see a bone buried in the blanket (to the left).

Molly, the bone thief, had left me a present.  She’s been doing this…stealing the other dogs’ bones and leaving them in my bed at night.

I think she’s doing this to lure me in there, as if the temptation of a half-chewed bone will make my salivary glands go crazy, thus enticing me to go to bed early.

I guess you can’t blame the girl for trying, eh?

A few days ago, I looked out the window and saw this…

My sweet Molly had planted herself near the fence and seemed to be enjoying the morning.

I stood and watched her for a few minutes, snapping pictures like any proud mama would…

I’m so thankful for the zoom on my camera, because I was able to stand in my doorway.  You know how it is with pups…they don’t exactly cooperate when they know you want them to…

Something about that grass really appealed to her, because she started rolling around…

The sun must have made her sleepy, because she gave up the fight midway through her stretch…

I really love this sweet fur baby.  She’s got issues (who doesn’t), and she’s emotionally needy, but she’s a sweetheart.

The simple joys of being a dog…

Going for car rides…

Molly was a happy dog during her recent outing!

I have a huge assignment due next week for one of my classes, so I decided to use today to get a jump on it.

I worked ALL day while the dogs kept me company.

Apparently my exertion wore them out…

I am glad SOMEONE was getting some rest…

You might remember that I have three dogs.

Pele is the “middle child” and technically belongs to Chicky…

Well…ever since the family returned to a regular routine after Christmas, Pele has had his fur in a wad.  I guess he got spoiled having people home all day.

And so Pele has regressed…

To his puppy days…

To his chewing phase…

First, he mangled a much-loved Christmas decoration…a snowman…

Even the snowballs did not survive…

RIP, Mr. Snowman…

As you might have noticed, the dates on the pictures indicated that he did his misdeed before Christmas; however, I think he was just practicing.

Since Christmas, Pele has been digging in the trash and, basically, chewing almost everything he can find.

It hasn’t helped to put things on tables.  He just pulls them off too.

Take, for instance, a couple of pages from a magazine that I had left on my end table this week.

When I got home yesterday, this is what I found…

One measly piece of a full page.

Ironically, look at what managed to survive…

Yeah.  I can hear you chuckling.

See, in last month’s issue of All You, I had found an essay contest.  As you can see, the topic was one I could relate to.

Apparently it drew Pele’s attention as well.

At least he was kind enough to save the instructions for me.
