project 365 #11: django and his destruction

Here's a little documentary proof as to what Django has done to my yard. It's fairly mind boggling on several levels, including the one where, if you've ever wondered what the world would look like if dogs were the dominant species, well wonder no more. It would look like some kind of Tobacco Road caricature.

He pulls stuff out of the house through the dog door and then destroys it. He pulls stuff out of the shed and chews it up; tears down things that are hanging up, digs up the plants and vines and garden, gets into the recycling and spreads it across the yard - there is no end to it. He needs more exercise, I know, but nobody is here enough. One walk a day is obviously not cutting it. I would also just like to point out that neither Toby nore Theo - both mutts - ever created this kind of chaos as puppies, but Jackson & Django - both purebreds - both did. I think it's one of those crazy inbred overbred things. Eeeeesh.

Sorry Felicity, but our mutt can cause that kind of destruction plus some. She maybe beautiful, but she is brainless.

Heh! I remember when our Buddha (black Lab) was a puppy, and our neighbor's young border collie used to share the fenced-in backyard with him, one of our friends referred to our backyard as "dog Bosnia." They shredded everything in sight, even chewing bark off the bases of our pear trees. Ugh.

Now, Buddha's a senior dog, and his main role in life is "four-legged nap machine."

Jane!?! Beautiful Jane is a bad dog? I'm so disillusioned.

Dog Bosnia is a brilliant description, Lee! I am so going to remember that - succinct, to the point and accurate.
