The Break-in



O.k...........Stewart, Rylie & I were out of town for a few days & upon our return, we were greeted with a house that appeared to have been vandalized/burglarized. Lets start with the kitchen....garbage strewn for days, 2 ENTIRE SHELVES in my pantry had been emptied of all but a box of trash bags, a previously-used wet diaper shredded to bits (this diaper shredding extended down the hall way to the bathroom, how courteous of him) and miscellaneous unidentifiable pastas, hot cocoa in powder form & other debris. The sofa had clearly been used to veg on & partake of various cheez-its & crackers & Rylie's bean bag was defiled as well. Our bedroom had been used for a springboard for muddy paws & a snack of graham crackers had clearly been partaken of on our bedspread. Stewart's office had clothes in the floor that had been pulled out of the closet.....but the worst was saved for Rylie's room. Her WHITE daybed had muddy paw prints & Houston (the culprit in this debacle) had thrown up all down the back of the bed! I was so angry I forgot to take a picture. Why this act of random violence???? We do not know. He had not been abused up until this point in his 7 year lifespan. So, if you see the previous pics on eBay, pleading for someone to take him to a good home, with compensation....you will know why!
