“Those Two Are Quite The Pair”

So, last weekend when we got back from Vegas we went to the PetSmart hotel to pick up the girls. We approached the front desk and told the guy we were there to pick up Madison and Izzy and his response was “Those two are quite the pair.” Andy and I giggle, but in more of a concerned or embarrassed way because we were wondering what they did. Then he said “Well, you two probably already know that” and he was saying this with yet another giggle. He didn’t stop giggling as he radioed to the back room that Madison and Izzy are ready to go home. That was a little weird or unnerving that this guy couldn’t stop giggling so we asked him what they did. His response was “Whatever we gave them, they destroyed.” At that moment I felt like a parent picking up her naughty child from the principal’s office and felt a little odd that we were there to pick up the naughty dogs. He then told us they were housed in the front two rows and we could see them through the giant window. Of course I had to go see the baby girls and as soon as they saw me standing at the window they went nuts in their cage. The first thing I noticed is how empty their caged area was. Normally each cage area has a dog bed that is raised off the ground with another soft cushiony dog bed on top of that. They also get toys too, but it seemed as if our dogs were so naughty they got all privileges taken away. We were not shocked by this at all. I mean this is Izzy and Madison after all and this weekend definitely is another testament to their typical behavior.

Friday Night: Andy and I were watching a movie in the living room while the dogs wrestled in the bedroom on our bed like they always do so there was no need to watch them. This is typical behavior for them. We were well into the movie when Madison came out of the bedroom and down the hallway with a white puff coming out of her mouth. Andy grabbed it to see what it was and to check out the bedroom to see where it came from. Needless to say they tore up the bedspread and there was white stuffing all over the floor. While Andy took the girls outside I was cleaning up all the stuffing just laughing. I mean, you get to a point where that is all you can do is laugh at their antics. So, this bed spread ended up in the garbage as it is now useless because these two did a number on it. Andy took the white down comforter from the second bedroom to replace the one the girls annihilated.

Saturday Night: The girls are back in the bedroom wrestling, but this time we were checking on them more frequently. We thought we were good until it was time to go to bed. Obviously the girls got a little out of control with their playing and wrestling as now there was blood on our nice white down comforter. I checked the dogs and Izzy got beat up by Madison because she was the one with a small cut on her lip. I am starting to wonder how much more these dogs can ruin in this house. I thought for sure we were not going to get this blood out, but after spraying with stain remover and a good wash almost all of it came out.

Sunday Night: It’s starting to become quite the weekend with the girls as they strike again. Sunday night we are making potatoes and chicken on the grill and green beans for a vegetable. The potatoes were on the grill and Andy got the two over sized chicken breasts all seasoned up and ready to go while the dogs were outside playing. Once Madison went on one of her barking fits at the neighbor Andy went out to call the dogs inside and check on the potatoes. He stepped away from the counter for 30 seconds and when he returned there was only one over sized raw chicken breast on the counter and two dogs mid-swallow. Of course Andy started yelling at them and I couldn’t stop laughing. Again, what can you do but laugh? I did say to Andy that I think it might be his fault for putting the chicken close to the edge of the counter because we have been down this road before with them. His response “Now is not the time.” My first thought is worry because they just ate raw chicken and I was wondering what that would do to them, so we watched them closely. Andy said that Izzy got rid of her portion of the raw chicken today in the backyard so that’s a plus.

So, needless to say to the PetSmart guy…we do know that Madison and Izzy are quite the pair!
