Very Naughty Dogs on Thursday!

Does everyone remember this scene from a few weeks ago?

You can all be assured that Cooper was appropriately punished after this act of vandalism. He was talked to in a very firm manor. Well, maybe "firm" isn't the correct term. Truth be told, it wasn't really a "talking to" either. I just asked him how he would feel if I chewed up one of his things, and then gave him kisses and hugs and scratches behind the ears. He promised that nothing like this would happen ever again.

I neglected to ask him what his definition of the term "ever again" is. Turns out, "ever again" is just a period of a couple of weeks. Look at his handiwork from this week:

Such a naughty little boy! Of course I scolded him right away. Either that, or I ran to get the camera so I could get a shot of the destruction for this week's Dogs on Thursday.

Before you judge me, just take a look at this sweet little face....

...and tell me you could scold him! My father has always said it's a good thing I never had kids...they would never be disciplined, and they'd be the brattiest kids on the block!

I have this afternoon off work to get a couple of things done, so instead of blogging I really should be getting stuff done. Ordinary stuff like laundry and going to the dump and taking pictures of finished socks and baby sweaters and, oh, yeah, getting my new car registration so I'll be driving legally again. Yup, I've been breaking the law. Ooops. In my defense, I've had to spend a LOT of time lately disciplining Cooper... No, I guess that excuse isn't going to work, is it?
