My Latest Post is at the end of this thread.....along with a piccy.
According to Mom!! Dis is Earl and I was a not so good boy earlier today! Mom and Dad went out front to sand the deck railings so that they can paint the deck. They made the three of us stay inside since the front is not fenced. Well, the two goodie two shoes (Sarge and Duggie) sat at the window and watched Mom and Dad. We could see Mom and Dad. Me, on the other hand, decided that I was mad because they made us stay in! Within thirty minutes, I had the cushions off the chairs by the window, the doggie beds and blankets were all over the house and not in their usual spots, I pulled the mat that had our water dish on it and spilled the entire bowl of water on the carpet in the dining room, spilled the water bowl in the kitchen and moved it to the dining room, and the biggest thing I did was chew on the corner of the cabinet between the kitchen and dining room, leaving little pieces of wood at the base (in my view, I did a good job on that)!!! All this while they were outside! Now mind you, this was because they went out without me.....they went to Home Depot earlier and I was a good boy.....I didn't mess anything up! When Mom came in, before Dad, she had steam coming out of her ears!!!! She was not a happy camper with me and sezs that I is grounded! She is threatening jail for me! I think I need a good lawyer! Earl.....aka THE JUVENILE DELINQUENT!!
Dee here: I couldn't believe the mess that Earl made.....well, I could but I was shocked. He truly made a mess and it was all him.....the other two were at the window and away from the mess. And, when I walked in, Sarge and Duggie had the look of it wasn't us! And, Earl had the look of being totally guilty! And, we had gone earlier to Home Depot and had been gone for about two hours and nothing was out of place when we returned home. I guess we were being punished because we were home and he had to say inside while we sanded the railings which truly did not go beyond 30 minutes. Next time I do something out front, I'll put him outside in the backyard!
Dee know the look well, we call it the teflon................."not me(us) mum wez just watched.
We have only had it a few times, once when we came home to find the sofa seats off the sofa and one zip destroyed, and all the scatter cushions demolished and a bunch of dried roses in shreds all over the place.............they both got it but I do know the culpret would have been Emma, funny thing another black and tan.
The other was Ingrid who chewed out whole bottom edge of the family room sliding door. yet another black and tan
They do grow out of it.................................well some do.
Worst thing is you cabinet.................

Ivy if you run away I will tell Mum on you na na nana na. I don't think it is a good idea at all because who will give you food when you are being runaways and who will put your poop in a poopbag for the bin. Erm and who will keep me cosy at bed time? Oh and who will I chase round the table in the living room? Who will I blame if I ever break something - mum can't ever tell me off!!!!!!!!!!! I think I would just die if she ever had to tell me off! Please don't run away Ivy!

:book1: AHEM . . .
Did I hear someone say they needed a good lawyer?
It is I, the good doctor, ready, willing and able to assist in what can only be termed an egregious case of circumstantial evidence and mistaken identity!
My client cannot be assumed to be guilty without positive identification by witnesses ready to testify under oath. :angel13:
I assume Sarge and Duggie are taking the fifth on this - either that or they had better get a good deal from the Witness Protection Program :police:(and I'm not talking about extra treats on Tuesdays!).
:evil5: AND . . . as my client is under age, I move that this proceeding be reassigned to Juvenile Court, where my clients youth and innocence will surely result in a finding of not guilty!
Dr. Alan Dershowitz Leaky :read2:
Dogs are pack animals. When the pack is altered, dogs will engage in irrational or even destructive behavior. My guess is that Earl took your going outside as being separated from the pack. Sarge and Duggie obviously had a better grip on the situation and realized the separation was temporary. I would guess he wasn't as destructive on the Home Depot run because you were completely off site (i.e. the pack leaders were out hunting).
I very rarely separate the Zs. Both usually freak out when I take one and not the other somewhere. Rudy-angel & Max-angel were similar. Max would howl if I left him without Rudy, and Rudy would engage in destructive behavior if I took Max away. Funny thing was the dog that I was "one on one" with was completely content to be without their "partner".

WELL, DUH . . .!! :verdict:

MERLIN! GET A GRIP!! NOBODY GOT ABANDONED! :rolleyes:
Unca Dave probably just took one pupper to the vet or to get his nails trimmed or . . .
See what I mean 'bout you hoomans!!!?!!! :BangHead: One gets left and da udder gets tortured at da V-E-T or his toes chopped off! I'm callin' da Pupper rights comission in Da Hague! :call:
:dontknow: Anybuddy know what Da Hague is and how do I call dem? :scratch:
Simon has been not so good on occasion.Imagine that!
He gets grounded but we always cave in and he gets to go out and play with his toy.
Oh, baby Earl ... will you make it out of your toddlerhood?! I know it's not funny, Dee, but I could see him doing those things as I was reading your post and i couldn't help but laugh. He was a busy boy while you were out front!
Sometimes it is not the baby who causes mayhem! Ask Bastian about the $975 hog wire addition to the lower two feet of the 6-ft. fence on the west of the house. He chewed his way out of the fence last summer when Auntie Brenda was feeding the four of them, and then he and Robinton went out on "adventures". The good girls - Brekke and Rowan - stayed home in the air conditioning. I had to get 5 boards replaced, and there is a lot of hog wire - plus my contractor attached it very carefully on the support boards and also put it about 4" into the ground. Children! Earl, maybe you need a kong with a frozen treat in it!
Now Dee there's and idea "HOG TIED"...............................
Roberta
EARL !!!
OMG Dee - sorry, I had to giggle a little..... he SO reminds me of Toby River..... I bet you were TOTALLY pissed !!!! :2funny:
LOL well I guess I'm joining the crowd that can't help but chuckle at your misfortune...but can't you just see him?? And Sarge and Duggie over there going ohhhh you are so going to be in trouble for that. Good thing he is such a gorgeous little thing that goes a long way when getting into mischief.

Heee heeee! Sorry....heee heee. Been there, done that. My first dachsie, Dixie, ate walls, tore up and ate carpet, ate a piece out of my brand new (first NEW pc of furniture we ever had) rocker....way since fixed and still rocking. We called all her beds "edible" until we got a small cement trough (made of hard plastic) that she could get in nicely but NOT destroy. She was AWFUL!!!
So Earl, did mommy put you in the corner and did you have to paw 100 times "I will be a good boy from now on."?
Sargey and Duggie, maybe you ought to start learning your little brudder to be a model doggy. :grin:
Earl,
I am impressed with how much "work" you got done in such a short time! Now that's good Dachshie efficiency!
xoxo,
Scooter
(p.s. What do you mean, "not the point", mom?)
:thumb: Way to go Earl!!!! You are just being a good Dachie!
When Heino was younger, he sometimes left a prezzy for mom on da carpet when he was not happy wif her :grin:
Go figure :grin:
Yahoooo! Mom sezs that I'm not grounded no more......the l@@k finally got to her!

Dee here.....well, the little imp isn't grounded any more and I can now chuckle about what he did! I wasn't so amused when I was cleaning up his mess! Hopefully, he will soon enter adulthood and leave the "toddler" stage behind! I wonder sometimes, though......today, the neighbor had drapped over the fence the coverings from their garden (it froze here last night so they had covered the plants). They left the towels on the fence since it is suppose to freeze tonight also.......Earl promptly went over and pulled every one of the towels down!
Only problem Earl................you look as if you have been up to something...............
Earl, I agree with your Auntie Roberta. You need to PRACTICE looking innocent. You kinda look like you're.....umm......guilty of sumthin.
Auntie Roberta and Auntie Sandie..........I's look "guilty" cuz I usually am........I gotta keep everybody on dere toes!!!
Earl you look like quite the rascal! I have to concur with my peers - practice the 'look' a little more. You're the same color as Elli.
Actually, this shows her color more.

WHOAA, BABY!!
DEZE TWO GOT IT GOIN!! NOW
DAT'S DA L@@K!
King Sol here - there is NO formal punishment allowed for this! I have reviewed the facts and you were CLEARLY being neglected! Besides, if you were just trying to be sassy you'd have pooped in the house. DUH. If you is grounded, let me know cuz I can send sanctions and stuff out that will have the doggy cops at your house in minutes. Well, maybe longer cuz we have to drive. Stay Strong Dude.
P.S. You do get a demerit for inferring that Sarge is a goody-goody. He is a member of the doxie knights of the round table and MUST be treated with respect at all times.
P.S.S. - I think there are treats in the cupboard by the sink.......................... :thumb:
Awwwwww Earl.... I didn't figure mommy could stay mad long.... you iz toooo cute :heart:
