Puppy Problems

We got a puppy. That was a month ago. It only took a few hours after bringing him home to remember why we had had exactly FIVE children and not six....I'm not good at adult supervision, consistent feeding  and/ or any potty related duties....

Puppies are cute, cuddly and hilarious....they are also equal parts, needy little Tasmanian devils  that destroy stuff and do disgusting things...

Tucker wrecks stuff at an alarming rate....

Both kitchen rugs shredded...
The bathroom rug has a gaping hole....
Every toilet paper roll put in the downstairs bathroom unrolled through out the basement...
Noah's Ark  animals are now amputees...
The  wrapper of anything, obliterated into a million pieces....
And you know those plastic caps that cover the bolts on your toilets, yeah we don't have those anymore....

Sigh...

The first few weeks I followed Tucker around like a fugitive. Yarding everything out of his mouth...

Now its a thought process.... "will he choke on that, is the cost of replacing that more than the value of some silence, will it teach messy rug rats to pick up earbuds, if he swallows that will it require a vet visit?????...

We just can't have nice stuff....EVER.

My favourite was this morning after the rug rats SWORE the puppy went poop outside....

I bent down to pick up a leaf off the carpet by the back door.... yeah It. WAS NOT. a leaf....


It's a good thing he's so cute, but really.... What were we THINKING!
