I came downstairs this morning to find that our dog had literally eaten my kid's homework. It was in the homework folder, inside the backpack, by the front door to grab on our way out the door. That means he managed to get the folder out and then proceeded to eat both. Hmm.... No one is up but me yet, but I'm pretty sure there is going to be an upset little kid when they come down and see this. The good news is that there are enough pieces that we can prove the homework was complete. The bad news is that, well, he ate it. Guess we're taking pieces in and I'm talking to the teacher this morning.

The culprit? Morgan, our puppy. Well, not so much a puppy anymore. He's a golden retriever and he's 14 months, which is golden land, means he's more like an older teenager. But he still gets in to mischief and has his moments of destruction. To date he's eaten multiple toys, stuffed animals, and at least 1 shoe from each family member to include my favorite flip flops! Bad dog. He gets destructive when he feels ignored. We have friends whose kids are terrified of dogs, so when they come over I put the dogs outside, and Morgan gets upset (because he's not part of everything. He's a golden- everyone is supposed to love him) and digs up the yard or eats the plants. I was cleaning and put him in a room- with a baby gate so he could see me- and he ate some craft that was left out on the table. Sigh. All we can do is wait until he gets a little older adn grows out of it. Supposedly golden's are adult dogs at 18 months, so only a couple more months.
