What is it with the paper?!?!

If you don't know what I'm talking about, refer to this post.

I let Daisy stay inside this morning because it's been pouring all day.  We've had a wonderful spring so far, and she really enjoys her mornings out romping through the backyard, trying to catch squirrels.  But, not a whole lot smells worse than a wet pup and she's not really so keen on the rain anyway.  So.  She stayed inside.  All I can think is that she must have been bored out of her mind, because when I arrived home for lunch, there was nothing that she had not chewed up and spit out.  She had knocked over the waste basket, which does did have a lid on it AND even worse, found the very heavy paper shredder and knocked that over too.  I hadn't empty the paper shredder in awhile and apparently Daisy thought this oversight needed to be corrected, so she did it for me... and emptied it ALL OVER MY OFFICE!

To say I wasn't pleased is an understatement of monumental proportions.  Extreme cuteness didn't even keep her out of trouble this time.  She got booted (almost literally) out of the house and into the rain while I cleaned up as best I could.  When I couldn't handle the whiny moans at the door any longer, I let her in, dripping wet, which of course is my fault, but I wasn't interested in hearing her say that, so I stuck her in the laundry room which she hasn't been subjected to since she was a 10 month old pup.  She so knew she was in deep doo doo when she didn't even try and get out.  She just sat there and looked at me with those big droopy wet brows over her eyes while I made my lunch with barely 15 minutes left to snarf it down and get back to work.  Then I sat down to read some email and completely ignored her - she's not really thrilled with being ignored by the way, it doesn't sit well with her sensibilities.  Anywho...  it was soon time to run back out into the downpour and head back to the office.  I even thought twice about giving her a doggy biscuit before I left.  But the droopy eyes and pitiful look that so clearly said "sorry mom" got to me... so she got two.  I'm such a wimp.
