I figured I’d be gone an hour or so, and I popped out the door without getting Dexter in the crate. Ended up this guy had a list of a dozen things, and three computers with problems. Anyway, I’m sure everyone knows what comes next…<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Damage done: new stereo bluetooth headphones mangled. Leather case for MP3 player chewed up (player is okay – the case took all the abuse). Two ergonomic mouse pads shredded. Foam mattress pad (dog bed) viciously attacked and missing some good size chunks. Wireless mouse worked over, but not seriously damaged. Leather covered handle on leather recliner soggy , minor teeth marks but no big holes. One remote control mauled but still working.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Then, even though the doggie door was open, he decided to leave me a present on the bathroom floor.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>At least he didn’t get to the digital camera <grin>! All in all, I think I got off cheap. Oh yeah, I knew better. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In other news, Mom came by with her PomChi (Pomeranian / Chihuahua mix) to meet Dexter this morning. My three big bassets just plumb wore that little fella out! Just another day in the life of Dexter – he loves all the dogs he meets. He’s been playing a lot with Maggie and Leia. So far they all get along fine, even though Maggie is old and sometimes limps away from the basset games playing field. I get her up on the couch and settled down, and let Leia and the demon…errrr…Dexter continue to chase each other around the place.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Tim ‘n Pack<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Maggie d’Earest, Leia Round, and Dexter Dawg<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
