The Adventures of Sheldon & Duncan: The Cracker Calamity
The poodles were trying to greet me, bouncing all over the place- that is until I gazed upon the sofa, which was covered with crumbs of crackers. It seems that I forgot to "poodle proof" the kitchen before I left, and one of them managed to pull the gallon zip lock bag of crackers off the counter and proceeded to shred the bag to get to the crackers. I yelled loudly at Sheldon and Duncan as I stood in front of the sofa. They knew they were in trouble, and sheepishly walked over to the sofa with their heads hung low. I spoke loudly and firmly, addressing them with the rhetorical question: "WHO DID THIS?". Without missing a beat, Duncan stepped forward and sat down in front of the sofa and looked up at me. Sheldon stayed far behind his younger brother. I could almost hear Sheldon thinking "This one is all yours Duncan, don't get me involved". Owen, the kitty sat even further away, and he was thinking: "I told you, I told you not to touch those crackers." As I inspected the shredded plastic bag, I realized most of the crackers were still in the bag. I guess they didn't care for the crackers...of course they must have been dry and flavorless to the poodles!
above: its difficult to see it in this photo, but there were cracker crumbs all over the floor as well..
above: Duncan and Sheldon stared at the evil vacuum cleaner as it whirred and hummed. Owen remained safely under the bar stool where errant machines with suction could do no harm to furry little kitties. In not time at all, The Cracker Calamity of 2010 was but a distant memory.

That Duncan: he really is the mischievous one. I don't recall Sheldon getting into so much trouble when he was an only child!
eesh, what a mess but i am giggling imagining sheldon and owen watch duncan take the heat.
Don't be fooled - I'll bet Owen was egging him on. "Do it, go ahead...you know you want those crackers..."

Your poodles and I have something in common, in that whenever I've engaged in acts of vandalism I've gotten my picture taken too.
Down at the precinct.
Oh dear god in heaven. And the adventure continues!
Don't you feed those boys enough, Rick? LOL
Your Sheldon is no dummy; he's not going to take the blame for the scamp Duncan! My Duncan is an imp, too; then again, what 10-year-old boy isn't? ;)
Rick, I just love your furkids' mischievous adventures. When it's all said and done you can't help but laugh and love them that much more...
Funny! Similar to The Great Tampon War of 1994 in our house!
I think it's commendable that the culprit stepped up! Shows you're good humans to your furkids.
Oh, poodles ARE bad. haha!
Boys will be boys *LOL*
Lol. I guess that two minds really are better than one :)
ooh, bad Duncan! dogs cannot tell a lie. He knew that you knew that he knew.......
LOL.....Doncha just love them tho?
Peace
I've read dogs achieve the intelligence of a 3 year-old child, so it only makes sense. Too cute.
