Miss Money Bags

Miss Money Penny received a new nick name this weekend, Miss Money Bags! This pup is determined to destroy everything I buy for her! Where did this come from? She isn't doing anything else to be a brat, is a daily joy and has never touched anything in my condo. However, In the last month she has killed any toy with stuffing, destroyed her crate liner, not once but twice (seriously, I am talking fluff everywhere!), nibbled on the window sill at Mom and Dad's house, and now shredded her travel crate. She isn't bored, she goes on huge runs, completes training exercises and is constantly getting tons of attention. Really, what is causing this? So as a mother's day present to me I got to buy a new travel crate so she can continue to go on trips and stay at her grandparent's house. Apparently she thinks her mom is made of money!

So we celebrated mother's day in Atlanta this Saturday night with my wonderful second family and had a blast. When we got home we walked in the door and had a loving puppy run up and meet us as we walked in the door. Now, you might say, what is wrong with this picture? Who wouldn't want to be greeted by a cute puppy with a wagging tail? Probably her mom who put her in the crate before she left! My brainiac puppy figured out how to chew a hole and poke her nose through the mess on the front of her travel crate to separate the zipper. Now I will say, I am so happy she managed to stay out of the crate for five hours and not do any damage!

Seeing as how mom and I are always trying to patch, salvage or fix things we decided the hole was fixable, got out the duck tape and patched the hole. Seemed to work really well so we left for Mother's day brunch and returned an hour later to once again be greeted by a smiling pup! This time, make no mistake, she made sure we wouldn't be able to ever patch the door of her crate again. She shredded it!

So now, instead of the super easy soft pop up travel crate that we had, we have a collapsible metal travel crate on the way.....Lets hope she can't figure out how to eat metal!
