Ok, something random happens at my house.  My dog throws temper tantrums when he feels like he isn’t getting what he wants.  Usually its over not getting walked if it is nice outside, or if he feels like he should get more food.  Today he did it because, even though we feed him regularly and he is kind of chubby, he doomed to a life of eternal hunger.  

He hardly ever has his tantrums when we are home but when we are at work or head out for an errand, he goes and does his work to let us know he isn’t happy.  He goes through a 3 step process.  First, he goes into the bathroom trash can and pulls a piece of paper or other random object out.  Next, he proceeds to drag it into the hall outside of the bathroom.  He then shreds it into little pieces.  Its absolutely hysterical.    

Interestingly when we come home he pretends that he had nothing to do with it.  He will walk right by it as if  he didn’t know how all that trash got there.   The funniest thing is when we call him over to look at his handiwork.  Conviction sets in right away.  He will crawl over to you in the most pitiful way and then roll over as if you are going to beat him.  The worst part is that even though he seems truly penitent, he has no desire to change at all.  If we leave the bathroom door open tomorrow and it is sunny outside, he will do it again.  Its little stuff like this that makes you love your dog!
