Knocking stuff over – a time-honored tradition for dogs since they first shacked up with humans to share a little fire and the burnt pieces of meat still on the bone. Dogs are playful little beasts, and a tree that is covered and lights and glittering things and tends to be at least a little top-heavy are going to have a good chance of saying Merry Christmas to the ground if there’s a dog in the house.
These folks weren’t even able to get the darn thing decorated before Fido went sicko mode on it. It looks like a live tree, and those are only good for a little while, so it’s at least a little likely this picture is from Christmas Eve, and the family has gathered to decorate, but the dog had other ideas.
I Couldn’t Control Myself
Don’t you just love dogs? Since you’re reading this, you probably do. Even if a dog does go against the master’s training and goes tooth and claw against...we’re actually not sure what it is that this dog tore up, but it got torn up pretty well. Maybe it was the couch itself, who knows.
Anyway, even if this dog had been trained and told time and again not to tear something up, it went and did it anyway. And then when everybody got home to find the mess, the dog at least had the good manners to look guilty. Ears bent back, brow furrowed, entire body leaning as far away from the mess as possible. This dog knows that it messed up, and it’s just hoping to escape the rolled-up newspaper this time.
Dogs Don’t Wear Socks
Yes, we know that sometimes dogs do wear things on their feet to protect them from one thing or another, but that isn’t what’s going on here. What’s going on here is a dog being caught in the act of chewing on a human sock, which is – barring some exceptions – something that humans generally don’t appreciate.
The dog (whose name is Dakota, we’re told) at least knows to look guilty when caught doing something like this. That doesn’t change the fact that no human is going to want to put on a really soggy sock that’s just been chewed up by a dog. And you can’t do anything worthwhile with ONE sock, so this single act has sidelined an entire pair of socks until the next time the laundry goes through the wash.
We Were Just Getting Some Paperwork Done
There are some reasons why a printer should be on the floor of the living room, but it’s usually not the best place for it. It could get sat on, for instance. Even if it is the right amount of space for some little animal like a cat, cat fur is still not something you want to be printed onto a very important document.
The cat, cute little guy or gal that it is, probably isn’t doing something that the owners like. However, both the cat’s gaze and the dog’s look tell us that it isn’t going to be the cat’s fault at the end of the day. Cats might like to push things around, but a dog has the strength to move a printer.
He’s Not the Only One
Once you figure them out, farts are instinctively funny. Something about the sound. The smell, not so much, but that’s not what we’re talking about here. This dog doesn’t yet understand that farts are a natural by-product of all that yummy food he gets to eat. Duke seems to be a bit on the young side, but he won’t be a puppy for much longer.
He’s going to have to learn that farts are a standard part of life, especially if he’s a dog. They don’t have a whole lot of control over their flatulence. The best part of this picture is that the dog, in the image, looks like he’s scared. Buddy, the farts can’t hurt you. Unless you’ve been eating a lot of protein and cruciferous vegetables, anyway.
