A disappointing setback

 We had a major setback today.  After many times leaving Booker out of his crate and him doing well, we decided to leave him out while we went to a biking event.

We were gone for about 5 hours and when we returned we entered the house and stood there in shock.

It looked like a bomb had gone off.  I should have taken a picture but Marc and I were both shocked and upset and immediately started to go though what had been destroyed.  

I know that dog training is not a one and done.  Just because your dog has learned something doesn't mean he will always get it right.  I had to resist the urge to yell at him.  Especially since the little shit showed not even an ounce of guilt.  In fact as I dropped to my hands and knees to start picking things up, he thought it was playtime.

He completely obliterated a cat bed and there were pieces of foam all over.  He had gotten up on Marc's desk and pulled off his mouse, mouse pad, a portable radio we had just bought and some other items.  Fortunately the only part he destroyed was the cardboard box the radio came in and some of the instruction booklet.  

Apparently he doesn't like to eat electronics!

So once we picked everything up, we were relieved that he didn't destroy anything important and didn't hurt himself or swallow large pieces of foam.

We do give our dogs a lot of exercise, but last week just because well, life, they hadn't gotten as much as usual.  Was that why?  We won't ever know the answer to that.

But tonight he sure got some!

A run and then a cool off walk with a drink in a small waterfall.
