Ready? No. Grr...I'd rather spend the calories on strangling my dog, but I'm refraining.

There is a certain item of clothing that she considers hers to chew, no matter HOW many times I say no. And no matter how hard I try to keep them away from her, she manages to find them and chew holes in them. Clean, dirty, directly out of the package...all the same to her.

It SOUNDS funny, but it really isn't. Especially as I have to keep replacing 'em and I can't afford to do that. But training has been completely unsuccessful since I never ever catch her in the act.

I'm really frustrated.

Guess I'll go do my workout and hope I'm calmer afterwards.

How annoying. Our dog eats socks. Chews great big holes in 'em. Fortunately he only takes them if they're lying about on the floor, so as long as we put them in the laundry basket, we're ok.

I'll be going home around 7:30, running, and then collapsing. Ugh...

Oh, on an upbeat note, my parents have decided to take us to Niagara Falls for the weekend. So I'll be driving one carload to Canada on Saturday. Maybe I can leave some of the brothers in Canada.

Are you going to post pictures so we can see what Fiona does?

Does she do that while you're home? Or just while you're gone?

If it's while you're gone, I'd consider crating her. We did it with Sam until we knew we could trust him.
