Bad Dog Marley!

So... We have this dog Fin. He's a yellow lab with tons of energy. Mom calls him Marley because of the well known book about a terror of a dog who destroys everything in his path. Fin is no Marley -I keep telling Mom. Well, tonight, Fin was Marley.

We've been trying this new thing with him. We've been letting him stay out of his crate while we go out for a short while. We feel bad leaving him in his crate all day and then again at night while we go get some dinner. So, we "Fin-proof" the house and put everything we think he'd be interested in far away behind a locked door. At first he tore up the occasional flip flop or basket of magazines or shoe that we forgot about. But, he's been doing very well lately... not chewing anything at all! Until tonight. Our dear friends Nick and Emily invited us to a yummy dinner at Slo and Low BBQ and THIS is what he came home to...






I guess we should have taken the cushions off the couch. Silly us.
