The Dog is Bored

A story about giving the dog a bone.

I get a text message from BW earlier this afternoon:

“Bring home some dog bones or something to keep the dog entertained - she’s bored”

Wait. What?

Now I have to make sure the dog is entertained at all times? Nope. Nope. Nope.

Now before we get to ahead here I can understand where she’s coming from: the dog thinks the child’s room is a buffet or a toy box for bored dogs and I have to say the magic markers are disappearing at an astronomical rate so I get what BW wanted to do with a diversion tactic.

Still. The dog can deal.

The easier fix? Close the door to the child’s bedroom, or even better yet: pick up the stuff off the bedroom floor but nobody listens to dear old Dad when he suggests room cleaning might be a way to prevent magic marker theft from our four legged friend.

The magic markers must smell nice or something, as she goes after those the most. Earlier this evening I caught the dog with a magic marker walking out of the child’s bedroom with the crayon in her mouth.

Busted. Ha! I’ll show her who’s boss.

The dog, I meant.

We all know BW is the real boss around here.

Always be entertained,

TH and Co.
