Nawtee dog stories
2 from Princess Pretty Paws...Angel Peanut.
B/c I had raised a chewy puppy I never ever left shoes out of a closed closet. I did not know a long brown snout would/could slide open a bedroom closet door & then carefully choosing a burgundy leather slingback left heel. I found the right one in the rack later. Peanut apparently did not like the buzz of the bumblebees in the flowerbeds...Snap crunch chew SPIT...I honestly did not know that some dogs got stung, I never saw anything but partially chewed bee bodies on the porch floor. That dog still makes me smile.... Tell me your stories...

My poodle Murphy loves to jump on the couch and look out the window when he sees things across the street.
We left Hoover (Cocker mix of some kind) in the fenced back yard for the day since we were planning on being gone for most of the day. My window into the kitchen was open, with just the screen in place. When we got home I thought we had been burglarized, as my living room had debris scattered everywhere. Then I realized Hoover greeted us at the door with a very guilty grin. 
He had pushed the window screen out, jumped into the house and opened my bedroom closet. I lost a number of shoes. 
I think he was mad at me for leaving him for so long, but I could not be mad at him. What a sweetheart that dog was. He lived to 14 years and gave us nothing but total love & devotion. 
He really had bad separation anxiety - he and I lived in a studio apartment and he hated when I went to work. I put him in one of those airline type crates (plastic, with the metal door that you had to squeeze the top and bottom together to open the door) but he could open it from inside.
So he did the usual destruction - chewing carpet, furniture, etc. But for about 2 weeks he started to leave a little beanie bag type frog next to me - all the time, but he would do it in stealth mode. I would wake up - little frog next to my pillow, watch tv...little frog would show up on the cushion next to me, step out of the shower...little frog on the bath mat.
I never saw him do it, it was never a toy he played with, and he just randomly started doing this. Every. Day.
He was still chewing random stuff and (before I knew better) I would yell at him when I got home.
Then one day I came home.....opened the door and because it was a studio I could see the whole apartment from the doorway. And after what I saw, I hurried and shut the door.
My husband (then boyfriend) asked what was wrong and I was just shaking.
There was couch fluff - EVERYWHERE. Every corner of the apartment had couch cushion insides strewn about. One cushion completely destroyed and the second cushion was off the couch on the middle of the floor also de-fluffed but a pile of fluff was stacked in a pyramid shape on top. And on the top of the pyramid was that fricking little beanie bag frog!!
He had spent 2 weeks creating a fall guy.
Sorry about the couch.
