No more!

With the cooler weather, Clyde's really been having a great time going in and out the dog door as he pleases. Today I caught him just sleeping on the patio all by himself. However, all the outside time has resulted in a new love for sticks. In the last hour, he's brought in 7 sticks and just laid down in front of the tv and started muching away like he had the tastiest bone ever. With each one, we've taken it away, told him no and gave him a real bone instead. Next thing I hear is him going through the dog door to go back outside again. Then, here comes another stick.

Man, here comes another one as I type. I guess if I let this go on long enough he'll clean up the yard...

He'd try to bring it through the dog door. He just tried to smash through with a huge tree branch. It sounded like someone was trying to break in. He's lost his outdoor privileges for the rest of the night thanks to that move.
That would be a picture worth taking....Clyde with a huge tree branch trying to come through the door...."Why wont this fit?????"
At least it's just sticks, no mice or anything :lol: Maybe he's just trying to help with the yardwork.
I think Bentley taught him that, he absolutely adores sticks! And acorns.

Hats off to Clyde for his efforts!
sticks are a nightmare in our house too

when we had had einy only a few weeks and he was still really skinny i had a bush in the garden (it was out of control ) trimmed

well i was washing up and turnned round only to find that einy that dragged a 7 foot long stick complete with flowers and leaves into the kitchen

the stick opsession is so bad that if there are none laying around he will chew on of a plant and bring it in

but i thank god i done have a doggy door einy would never give and he would get wedged in with the sticks he try to bring in
Too funny! I have to laugh at the image of him trying to fit that big branch inside the doggie door, too. :lol:

I'll be he was thinking, "If I get a bone for those little sticks, Mom will probably give me a whole STEAK for this one!" :lol: :lol: :lol:
Great story! That's very cute and funny.
I was thinking the same thing as Tammy. "Hmmm, mom takes the stick away and gives me a bone. I can get used to this!!" :lol:

We have sticks for fires in front of our fireplace and the 2 younger chuckleheads just love them. Apparently they're all getting on the chat late at night and conspiring. Grrrr.
Barney LOVES sticks. Except for one. Right now it has been raining for the last few days and a tree branch fell into our yard. Not very thick, but fairly large and it has many different branches sticking off of it. Barney at first went to it and chewed on the tip of one of the branches. Then that night he went to go do his business and it was right in his path to get to his spot. He walked right into it in the dark. Scared him to death. Now he won't go anywhere near that part of the yard. He makes a big circle to avoid it.
I actually think Barney might choose the stick over a bone...
Immediately after the big stick incident, he went outside one more time. I followed him this time and, sneaky little jerk that he is, I found him digging a hole right in the new section of the border that we added to the patio on Sunday. I had been yelling at Lucy for it all along (this was the third time yesterday that it was mysteriously dug up) since she's the digger out of the two of them. If I wasn't so mad, I would've taken a picture. His whole face from the eyes down was black from dirt. I can't wait until grass comes in in those areas again...
Bosley loves wood, too, bit raw and cooked! We cannot leave a pencil anywhere, because he will sniff it out and chew it to peices. We were in bed last nite, and I could see he was up with his paws on hubby's dresser checking sometihing out. It was dark and I thought it might be a kleenex so I turned the lite on and he is just about to pull off a small sheet wood panneling that had ben left there sometime during the day. As for branches and a black face, anytime we have a bonfire he is in there the next day, in amoung all the ashes and soot and coal...dragging out burnt logs and guess what? Chewing them (sigh)...We find large peices of burnt wood all over the yard while we pick up the doggy doo.
OMG! :lol: Clyde cracks me up!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Could you imagine if you threw a large stick in the backyard, and videotaped him trying to come through the doggie door with it??? ....That's definite materical for america's funniest animals on the Animal Planet channel...!!!

Great story!

Haaaaa can imagine Clyde doing this!! That's really hilarious and you must have just been laughing at his ordeal. Always keep us smiling!

When I would go to my back yard I would see big branches laying around, I would throw them away and then a few days later there would be some more. I figured they were falling off of the trees that we have in the back yard untill one day I saw Rusty, one of my dogs, jump, grab the branches of the tree and break them off then play with them. I guess his toys weren't enough for him. :lol: Stuff they do...
