Every day messes...

Every day I wonder what kind of mess I'm going to find when I get home. Will it be muddy paw prints all over the couch, a hole in the screen the size of a boxer puppy or a small tree in the dining area?

Today was not bad. Nora moved all the rugs around, Clifford's dog bed was in the new rug pile and there were a lot of twigs on the floor but nothing looks missing or damaged.

I don't think that there has been a day without a mess since we first brought Nora home. I'm not sure if the other dogs participate in the making of the messes or if they just sit back and shake their heads while she goes crazy. I do know that Nora is the instigator. The hole in the screen is just her size and the paw prints on our couch...there is no way they belong to any of the other dogs.

We have gotten pretty good at locking the doors that we can and blocking others. At this point the dogs have the run of the kitchen, the dining area and two hallways. That doesn't stop the messes but at least we know where the damage will happen.
