Not guilty

Dobi ripped up a keyboard box the other day. Not too much damage, but you can tell that Daisy is definitely not the guilty one. haha. 

Triple threat

I don't know what is up with this week, but they were exceptionally bad. It's not that I leave stuff around for them to tear apart, but they always seem to find something.

First item: A pair of new Spy Cooper sunglasses that I just bought Wils since he lost his. I actually had these in a mailing box, wrapped in bubble wrap, and on top of that hidden away inside of a bench cubbie hole inside of a basket. Daisy (or maybe Dobi) still managed to get to them.

Second item: I don't even know when this happened since we only discovered it yesterday after going into the backyard. Considering they are only outside for 10 minutes in the morning and maybe 10 minutes at night, I don't really know how they managed to do this. 

Third item: An old Star Wars bday card that had Obi-wan and Luke on it. Sigh... now only Obi-wan is left. I never thought the fridge was an unsafe place to keep things, but I guess I'll be shifting everything up since paper is Dobi's newest obsession. 

 This was my timeout for them after the first incident. The expression on Dobi's face is priceless.

B-A-D D-O-G

Today I came home to this. I already know who did what. Dobi chewed up the board and box. Daisy chewed up the tiles and wood pieces.

And instead of throwing away perfectly good Scrabble tiles, I decided to make the best of it and use them for magnets! We can now spell "Bad Dog", "Daisy", and "Dobi" on our fridge. :)

*Update* - by evidence of poo, I realized that it was all Dobi (there were many wood chips in there)! Apologies to Daisy! :(

Corgis in the snow

Here are my corgis in the snow. Maybe not as cute though. Daisy just looks like a maniac.

"No Bark" Fail

Here's more footage from my howling dogs. Since I am unable to use a mic to yell at them while I'm at work (firewall issues), I basically recorded a sound clip of myself saying "NO BARK!", which plays whenever I sent a chat message to the account at home. As you can see from the video, this is not really working. The first time they heard my ghost voice, they were a bit confused, but after a while, they just ignored it. :(

Puppy Daisy

So Daisy wasn't all that bad when I got her. You can see from this video that it was pretty hard to resist this cute little face and her skunk-like body. I originally thought of naming her "Flower" from Bambi and b/c she looked like a skunk. But then someone recommended "Daisy" since it's a type of flower. Her name turned out to be quite ironic since she is very un-ladylike.

Daisy the smarty

I bought Daisy a Nina Ottosson Spinny Toy (similar to this one), which was supposed to keep her super busy and occupied. Unfortunately, Daisy is super food motivated and figured out how to master this toy in about 5 minutes. Instead of trying to get the food out the proper way, she just learned to flip it over and use her paw to spin it, resulting in all the food coming out. Although she knows how to use her nose to get all the food out the proper way, this kind of defeats the purpose of me leaving this out while we're gone to keep her busy.



These toys are definitely more advanced than the kong, but not as hard as something like the Premier Busy Buddy Tug-a-Jug toy, which I highly recommend. This toy is way more difficult b/c of the rope attached to it. The rope allows for barely any food to fall out and that's only if the jug is tilted at certain angles. If the rope is pulled too hard, the hole gets plugged up and no food falls out. I can usually keep Daisy occupied for a good 30 minutes with this one until she gives up on the few kibble bits left in the container.
