naughty cute little dog

We're lucky to have such a good, fun loving little dog.

He loves us very much and shows it -- constantly being right next to us wherever we are and licking kissing every inch of our body.


We keep a pretty close eye on him, but most of the time he's sleeping, staring at us, or licking himself.

I just got him a new toy at Target the other day as a reward for being so well behaved at Ryan's softball games {minus licking someone's crackers that were on the ground}!


See...he usually just chews him on the ground, but...

Occasionally he'll sneak Loofa in with our dirty clothes so he can chew on those too {he looooooves dirty clothes}

Or he'll enjoy Loofa on our bed {that's a new broken rule I think}.

Those are little battles we chose not to pick. So what if his loofa smell like dirty socks and underwear -- he's the one chewing on it.

However, on Wednesday night when I was on the phone with the sub caller writing something like 10 days down on my calendar for the month of May, he crossed the line.

I was busy writing days down and Phinley was {I thought} licking the baseboards {don't ask...he licks everything! hahaha}.

Well, several minutes later I hear Ryan come down the steps and say something like, "PHINLEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING? BAD DOG. BAD DOG"

Hmm...I have no idea what's going on. Maybe he scratched the paint?

Wrong.

He was chewing on the stair well!

I think he has a little thing for wood and the stair was just at his height.

When I asked him why he was chewing on the staircase, he just looked at me.

Then I took a close up picture of the spot....

And he looked at it like, oh that?

Good thing he's so darn cute and Ryan's so handy :0)

Naughty little dog is forgiven!
