Puppy Proofing Fail.

Witness the power of The Face Of Innocense.

Today, instead of leaving our puppy Maeby in her crate for six hours, we decided to be responsible parents and give her the run of two tiled, fairly sparse rooms. We thought that with very little she could destroy, food, water, two bones, a ball and two chew toys, that she would be sufficiently amused. We were wrong. 

I came home to this:

Yes, she’s chewed and scratched the lead based paint from the doorframe. Apparently she missed us.

That WAS a set of blinds, which I intentionally pulled up this morning so she’d have light, and could see outside. Apparently she dislikes our landlord’s choice of window furnishing decor.

Did you know puppies eat envelopes? And shoe boxes? These were on the table, but obviously she’s been up there too. Note: the toys are completely untouched. I’m dreading counting the heartworm/flea treatments to see if she ate any that were in that box.

And of course, she also managed to find her rawhides, destroy the packet, then NOT EAT ANY OF THEM. That’s also the piece of cardboard that stopped the draft coming under the back door. LE SIGH.

All in all, repairable, but annoying. Obviously all that destruction’s tired her out - she’s now sleeping ON my legs.
