Do You Have The World’s Worst Dog?

Or does that title still belong to Marley?

With an exuberant yellow Lab in our family, we’ve had our share of doggy misdemeanours in the house.

The most notable of which are (in chronological order):

1. The Great Re-Landscaping of 2008

This effort resulted in this look, which in turn inspired the cover of our book. So, it wasn’t totally for naught, right?

2. The ‘Maybe I don’t WANT to be called Juno!’ episode of 2009

3. The Fire Walker episode of 2010

4. The Pillow Sneak Attack (also of 2010)

5. The Great Escape Attempt of 2011

We never took a picture of the hole in the wall, just the repairs.

Juno stayed in the mudroom (of her own accord) for the whole project. We’re still trying to decode that look on her face. Any thoughts?

We could have stopped any of these behaviours earlier – if we weren’t so busy debating the merits of disciplining vs. reaching for the camera! But where would the post fodder fun be in that? Many of these happened while we were away at work and thought prematurely that Juno could handle having more freedom in the house.

And five incidents in five years isn’t so bad at all. No harm to dog luckily, and nothing that couldn’t be fixed or replaced. And yes, she was exercised and exhausted when she did all of this.

So, tell us, do you have a dog (or dogs) that could give Marley or Juno a run for their money? Is there one dog you know, or have, who’s just itching to get its paws on Marley’s crooked crown? Be sure to share your stories in the comments! So long as there’s no harm done, they’re all good for a laugh.
