This morning I walked into the bathroom to find that he'd figured out that if he jumped on the magazine rack, he could then walk on the top of toilet and reach the paper (which he had!). :eek: I guess it goes without saying that I moved the magazine rack. :rolleyes: | That is so funny because last night I realized our upstairs bathroom was out of toilet paper, so I grabbed a roll from the downstairs and set it on the edge of the steps (someone was in the bathroom so I couldn't take it up right away) I forgot that I put it there, and this morning I had gotten Paddington ready to go out and suddenly nature called... I had to drop everything and pee ASAP, so I left Paddington in the hallway for not even a minute. I came back out to find that he figured out a way to reach that TP roll and DESTROYED it!!!! Ugh it was such a mess!!! I don't know how he reached it, it was on the fourth step (taller than him) and he couldn't have climbed the stairs for it because he refuses to go up more than one. We were already late.. he only does things like that when we are late. The worst part is when I clean up messes like that, he thinks I am playing a game and bites my hands and runs around making the mess even bigger. Today he actually bit me so hard that I bled!!! :eek:
Lately he's been acting like he has to poop, and when we take him out he runs around the yard barking like a maniac for twenty minutes and then runs back to the door to be let in (without pooping) About five minutes later he poops in the laundry room.
He also steals underwear and footwear. My boyfriend has nicknamed him "the underpants gnome" (from South Park if anyone watches it... this is the same boyfriend who wanted me to name the dog "Butters") He digs through a laundry basket until he finds panties or socks, and then he runs around the house with them with this expression on his face that is like "I got the prize! I'm the underpants king!" Whenever someone isn't paying attention to him and he wants them to, he will go and get their shoe and run right in front of the person... he actually teases them with their own shoe! He is pretty good at getting the right shoe for that person, too.... urgh, stinker!
