Destructo Dog

Of course, when you get a puppy, you can count on losing at least a few items to their need to destroy the world.

So far Shamus has chewed up:

(1) One of my Birkenstocks

(2) A stuffed tiger that was a gift to Dr Skull

(3) My favorite blanket which I crocheted last winter

(4) About fifteen of his own toys, which, fine

(5) One of Dr Skull's slippers

(6) A book from my childhood which I really never expected to read again but STILL

(7) Dr Skull's copy of Proust's A la recherche de temps perdu, which he claims he was reading

He's now eight months old, weighs 50 pounds, and would love to spend his life sitting on my lap and chewing on my fingers.

Such a good dog!
