On the 4th of June, 2014,
AKC Canine Good Citizen
Wesley
and his cohort
Susanna
were convicted in dog court of
shredding one crate bed,
gnawing a hole in the center
of one sage green bath rug,
and terrorizing a toad.
They also amputated the left toes
and right pinkie finger
of one doll baby
and murdered
one flip flop each from two pairs,
one doll diaper,
a Fisher Price stethoscope,
a Sudoku book,
a pencil,
and a toy kitchen cup.
The remains were
laid to rest
without an autopsy.
The criminals are
currently on
puppy patrol parole.
But don’t be deceived–
they are still considered
armed and dangerous.
In the silliness,
Sandy

Charity Singleton Craig says
I just love this. Megan inspired me, too, to write a poem about Tilly. I haven’t worked up the courage to post it anywhere yet. I have had many good laughs over Susanna and Wesley, along with Polo and Clover. If only our dogs could blog, I’m sure they would all be friends!
SimplyDarlene says
Ha. Miss Megan (via TweetSpeak) inspired me too. It looks like she’s the leader of a new pack. 🙂
Sandra Heska King says
Ha! Grace loves to watch this Disney show called, “Dog With a Blog,” where this talking dog writes about the family happenings. I’m glad ours can’t talk. 😉
Donna Falcone says
LOL! HA!!! I love this … a LOT! I might even bake a dog biscuit with a nail file in it I am so in love with the perps. You are so very clever, Sandra!
Sandra Heska King says
These dogs are like kids. When they’re quiet…
They’ll be a year old in three days. I wonder if they’ll ever outgrow this puppy stage.
SimplyDarlene says
Court is in session
for today’s dastardly
deeds of
dog-tastic
canine situations!
🙂
Sandra Heska King says
Are you having dastardly deeds in your domain, Miss Darlene? I’m heading over to check out the Daze.
Sharon O says
HYSTERICAL. so glad I don’t have a puppy.
Sandra Heska King says
I think you need a little excitement, Sharon. How would you like to pup sit for a weekend?
Megan Willome says
Oh, Sandy! I will never, never introduce Wesley and Susana to Polo and Clover–especially not to Clover. They’d get in oh, so much trouble!
Sandra Heska King says
LOL! Oh, but can you imagine the stories we’d have? Maybe we need a road trip.
Susan Chamberlain Shipe says
love love love! Can they receive visitors?
Sandra Heska King says
Only between 3-5 weekdays and only if you take them for a walk. 😉
Caryn Christensen says
That’s a WHOLE lot of destruction in one day! Is it okay to laugh now? I mean…now that court is out and everything?
Sandra Heska King says
Well, the destruction actually happened over two days… And the one pair of flip flops were Grace’s… just purchased Saturday in a buy one/get two free sale. She figures she can wear them mismatched. (The other pair was mine. I’m not wearing them mismatched.)
Caryn Christensen says
Ohh. Poor Grace :/ Poor you.
On the bright side ~ you’ll actually miss their antics when they get older. You’ll just have to trust me on this one!
Diana Trautwein says
LOVE THIS. No.More.Self-flagellation about writing. EVER.
Sandra Heska King says
LOL. Okay. I’ll only self-flagellate if I’m looking at writing over 1000 words. 😉
