The Elf Murder

You know the Elf on a Shelf.  My wife wanted one to sit on her desk at work.  Charlie did not like that idea and decided to destroy him.  She comes home from work one day to the Elf on the ground missing half his face.  Sad day for elves everywhere.

The Elf did nothing to provoke the attack.  While Charlie is the prime suspect, the cats are still considered accomplices in the incident.  Someone had to knock the Elf from the counter so the investigation is still pending.

Christmas Ball Carnage

After decorating the mantle with some of these Red and Gold Christmas Ornaments, my wife placed several red ones onto a nice silver tray.  Leaving this on the coffee table proved to be a mistake.  When we came home from dinner one night, we saw these Christmas Balls shattered and scattered in the living room.  Luckily, they were only plastic and nothing bad came from it.  It could have been far worse than it was.

Have a Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

A License to Chew

In an interesting situation, the cats knocked my wife's driver's license off the mantle and into Charlie's range.  Charlie chewed the license poking two huge tooth marks in it.

My wife's driver's license has two holes in the middle.

Every time my wife has to show her ID (for credit purchases and random traffic stops) she gets to tell the story about our dog.  Every person accepts the story and laughs.  Sometimes they share their own stories.

Somebody Needs a Bath

The dog's don't just attack inanimate objects, they also like to play in the mud.  Our first house lacked grass in the yard and our dogs loved it.  When Augi and Charlie played in the yard, they rolled around in the dirt and the mud.  While they have fun, they get incredibly dirty and require an immediate bath.

Charlie's black fur shows the dirt more than Augi, but they were both nasty.  Augi is great takedown artist and wins each round against the bigger Charlie.
