Dad: Pepito, have you been doing something naughty?Pepito: ............
Dad: Pepito, have you been eating toilet paper again?
Pepito: ...........sheepish look.............licks chops............winks with right eye........
Dad: Pepito, SIT! Let me take a picture of that... good boy, now go swallow that so I don't have to touch it.
Meet Pepito, our 13 month old golden retriever who really even things out around our house. Having three girls, things tend to get a little femininish. Pito, as we call him for short, is very much like an extremely low intelligence 2 year old boy. He teases the girls and makes them cry, steals their toys, likes to dig in the mud, is constantly destroying things and NEVER cleans up after himself. He also licks himself in disgusting places, but I don't think little boys do that, (those with boys can weigh in here). He is crate trained, and for the first hour after being let out, he "cruises"- meaning that he paces the entire downstairs, sniffing, nosing, scratching, just looking for something to chew. He has a toilet paper/dental floss fetish, so the bathroom has to stay closed. I guess all the bones and toys we've given him to keep him busy just aren't interesting any more...
PS- In the time it has taken me to post this, I have taken from him: 1 sheep, 1 feather, 1 piece of "kidart", 1 TP piece (from my wife's hand!!), listened to him "eat" something somewhere when I didn't feel like getting up and made him stop scratching under the stairs for whoknowswhat. And that's just what I'm aware of.
Ah, the joys of parenthood...

That was hysterical. I could totally relate, except for the boys licking themselves which has not happened...YET!
Just doing a little catch up reading...Can't relate to the licking part, but all else seems right in line with a 2yo boy. Can't turn your back for second, and if it gets quiet in the house...LOOK OUT!
