Imaginary Day
My dog keeps getting out while we're gone, wreaking havoc among the house, eating things that should not be eaten, and destroying plates we got for our wedding. She ate a sponge. A nasty, filthy, sponge. Then she went to the bathroom garbage and sorted it out between cotton swabs, used tissue paper, and a condom.
That was yesterday.
Today we put her back in the room, made sure the gates we use (we stack one on top of another, yesterday having forgot the top one she just hurdled the bottom) were nice and tight, and went to drop Maria off at work. Instead of going to class I had today off, so I came right home.
Only to find that she had smashed her way through the top gate, knocking it out of its place onto the floor, shattering one of the bits of molding around the door.
So, tomorrow she starts being caged again when we leave. We used to do it, but thought this was a nice way to allow our dogs some time together when we weren't around. Now MaiTai's going to get free reign of the house while we're not around, and Monster will howl from her cage for a while, before falling asleep.
Problem solved? Sure, but I wish we didn't have to buy new toothbrushes, toothpaste, plates, stirring implements, and other miscellaneous items just to learn our lesson.
How could someone so cute be such a pain in the ass?

They let me take him home Saturday morning, and he's doing well. The vet's office told me that they had to deal with a whole lot of barking as a result of not letting me visit Fezzik on Friday night. He wanted his Mommy.
