Found something delicious! |
Now as many dog owners know, food is one of the best ways to get said dogs attention. Moses (stereotypical rottweiler that he is) enjoys nothing else then chewing and swallowing whatever is in his path. While this means that the puppy never goes hungry it also means he smells terrible for days. Releasing what we owners call "the winds of death" from his backside and aiding global warming. Moses being a Rottweiler had the fault of eating everything.
We will start a list.
Top 20 things Rottweiler puppies eat!
1. My roommates empty chip bag. Left in her garbage
2. Empty sushi container
3. Building materials - concrete is a favorite of the Rottweiler puppy shorty followed by drywall
4. Dead things - haven't found many yet, but the dead bird in the backyard added so much wonder.
5. Rotten Grapes - from the backyard.
6. Basketball shells - we were extremely displeased with this as it meant I had to by a new basket ball.
7. Plants - oh my the plants! Drag them through the house set them on the bed, drag the dirt through the hall. So fun it is
8. Brother's old shoes - Not my shoes, not my mother's shoes, but my brothers shoe. They must have a distinct smell.
9. Tissue paper - absconded with from the garbage, normally distributed in itty-bitty pieces throughout the bathroom.
10. Toilet paper rolls - chewed into gerbil sized confetti
11. Tangerines - we are not sure how or why but stolen from the neighbors kitchen and inhaled so we could not get it back.
12. Pine cones - another quandary into the how and whys? Where was another reason here as it was apparently in our basement where he could get it.
13. Stuffed animals - none are safe, the amputees limbs are found in the most interesting places, their innards flung throughout the living room
14. Sticks - while most dogs chew sticks, Mo feels it is best that he not even let the stick try and get away.
15. Tennis balls- I think it used to be a ball, I'm not sure though.
16. Cardboard boxes- the bane of any existence the worlds most fearsome foe, the only thing standing between a puppy and conquering the world! Torn to shreds in self defense.
17. Plastic Flower pots- make a great crinkling noise when they are torn to bits and hidden in the backyard.
18. My Volleyball - making me very angry, apparently being hit with said volleyball four times causes it to be an enemy that must be destroyed.
19. Muffin Wrappers - found at the coffee shops trash can then distributed to the coffee shops floor adding an extra five minutes of work time for me as I try to sweep it up.
20. Duct Tape - the sticky side is just as fun as the silver side.... which means more mess

So many things for a puppy to destroy. In every puppy book they tell people to hide the wires, hide the chemicals, take the plants off the floor, to make sure the puppy could not get to anything that could give him problems. Those books obviously were dealing with less puppy genius than Moses, for no matter where you hide something he will find it and destroy it.
