Kala's Picnic

The past week our precious little puppy, Kala, has been terribly mischievous! Four days in a row she tore stuffing out of one of our couch throw pillows. Now, these came with the couch and they are not the cutest, so we didn't really care about the pillow...it is just the principle. She has never chewed on anything or torn anything up that wasn't her own toy. So this new found chewing of our things was disturbing to us. We thought she was over it because for 3 days in a row, we came home to a clean house.
Then she went NUTS!!!
Tuesday night I came home to a trashed living room!!!!! She had chewed up my sermon notebook, papers, and got a candle off the table and chewed it to pieces!! She got a spankin' to say the least!!
Then another 2 days of 'Kala the Angel'.
Then today...I came home to find that Kala had a candlelight picnic (minus the fire) while we were gone. She got the pizza box that I had put behind the trash can, a loaf of bread off the kitchen counter (my bad for not putting it back in the bread basket after making my sandwich this morning), and she got all four of my cloth napkins off the kitchen table and carried everything to her "couch". (This is an ottoman that we cover with a blanket so she can lay on it and look out the window.) Apparently pizza box sandwich sounded good to her today. And in the middle of the mess of shredded pizza box and bread crumbs was a candle (except this time it wasn't chewed up). If only she had thumbs she could have lit the candle. After I spanked her and sent her outside, I looked at the mess and chuckled to myself at the thought of her having a picnic. We always joke about her acting so human...if she only had thumbs.
