Can't believe how many "mine toos" there were in your post! I don't know why they all love to shred tissues and mine also used to poo and pee on my treadmill! I could not believe it! I wondered if I had somehow gotten another dog's scent on my shoes and transferred it to the tread. So, I cleaned that thing with a good enzyme cleaner like crazy. Still did it! The treadmill is now in the garage. Mine will also bark at any dog barking on TV or a video here on YT! They do possess the ability to bark with the most piercing shrill bark of any animal I have heard other than possibly my mom's cockatoo when annoyed. The sneakiness must also be a breed characteristic. Mine can slink off to do some pretty extensive mess-making in less time than you would ever think possible. But they always give theirselves away with the guiltiest look ever! They know it was wrong, but could not help their cute little selves. That is the problem. No matter what they do wrong, they do it cuter than any other living thing -- so how mad can you really get?
