This. Is what happens when you accidentally leave two doors open: Your bedroom door and your adjoining bathroom door, leaving them to the mercy of a small terrier puppy, still the intruder two months on. It also helps if you possess the leg reflexes of a greyhound and have the speed of a champion racehorse. Both of which, I do not.
This dog can run about 4 times the average speed of a human (we won’t talk about how I had to stop traffic about a block from my house — and by traffic I mean I first had to run in front of a big rig — for 30 minutes to catch the bloody thing because my 4-year-old accidentally let him out). And, he has hydraulics in his hind legs, to boot.

I think the addition of the sock was genius. The dexterity that took to grab it from the hamper on the way in is just incredible.

Look at that face. How could that mess possibly be the fault of such an innocent?
Great photos!

Great pics – your pup’s adorable. My dog leaves the loo rolls alone, but my cats shred them.
My pics are up, too – have a lovely weekend.

kelly // Saturday, 10 January, 2009 at 7:38 am |
Oh my! We have a Border Collie who can open the handles on our doors. Thankfully she has never done that. He is a cutie. I’ll bet it’s hard to stay mad for long!

Toby’s getting so gosh darn big! I wanna nother Cairn. I gotta get me another. They are famous for shredding, love. It’s part of that terrier nature.
Julia // Saturday, 10 January, 2009 at 8:49 am |
Oh so cute, how could anyone get mad at that face, LOL

Aw, he’s so cute! I love the look of “What? I didn’t do anything!”
Great pic for this week’s theme!
capturedat1point8 // Saturday, 10 January, 2009 at 11:59 am |
Maybe the sock was to put the blame on someone else. How could that sweet little face do that???
Tara R. // Saturday, 10 January, 2009 at 12:09 pm |
But look at that face! Who could be angry with such an adorable face?
Lily // Saturday, 10 January, 2009 at 13:33 pm |
what a cutie! My little yorkie does this with any paper or tissues as well. She gets very posessive over paper as if her life depended on it. I’d love to know what is going through her head.
mumof4 // Saturday, 10 January, 2009 at 13:41 pm |
At least it wasn’t wet loo roll……
Plain Jame // Saturday, 10 January, 2009 at 13:42 pm |
Ay, memories. My little heidi used to shred through tissue, walls, doors, anything she could destroy. Now she’s 5 and lazy. Good times.
terri // Saturday, 10 January, 2009 at 14:32 pm |
Too funny! Such an innocent face.
Becky // Saturday, 10 January, 2009 at 14:44 pm |

But those eyes! Butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth, surely…
bridget // Saturday, 10 January, 2009 at 18:02 pm |
I’ve seen that sight many times, but it was by the paws of my cat, Spooky. She has grown out of the shredding of toilet paper (mostly), but still likes her paper towel rolls! I found a mess that looked much like that one on my kitchen floor when I returned from vacation. Ah, but don’t our pets enrich our lives (this is said with just the smallest hint of sarcasm, mind you)?
Karen // Saturday, 10 January, 2009 at 20:33 pm |
But, so cute!!
People with Cameras // Saturday, 10 January, 2009 at 22:26 pm |
LOL – yes terriers are very clever! And what a cuite!
People with Cameras // Saturday, 10 January, 2009 at 22:26 pm |
or “cutie” !
Joyce-Anne // Sunday, 11 January, 2009 at 14:36 pm |
I see the Terrier is a terror. Good thing he’s cute, though.
lceel // Sunday, 11 January, 2009 at 16:14 pm |
That little critter needs to learn where hot dogs come from. (*shh, don’t tell him that’s a tease*)
Shelle-BlokThoughts // Sunday, 11 January, 2009 at 18:05 pm |

jameil // Monday, 12 January, 2009 at 16:41 pm |

Momisodes // Thursday, 15 January, 2009 at 11:35 am |
Oh my goodness! I don’t think I could ever be angry at the face
At first I was about to say “hey! My daughter does that, too.”
Joyce-Anne // Friday, 16 January, 2009 at 21:22 pm |
I still think he’s adorable.
btw, I have an award for you on my blog.
hummynbyrd // Sunday, 18 January, 2009 at 19:44 pm |
That dog face screams “it wasn’t me!”. Be lucky Toby doesn’t eat the TP like my dog would. Or does he???
sara.jane // Thursday, 22 January, 2009 at 15:29 pm |
Nice
Still not as good as the potting soil story and pics—but still cute!
Maddy // Friday, 23 January, 2009 at 15:14 pm |
Hmm we are having similar experiences ourselves with our new pup!
Cheers
