I think I've been watching too much "Holmes on Homes," because my Scottish Deerhound puppy, Rawley, appears to think he's a contractor.

[caption id="attachment_14437" align="alignnone" width="384" caption="Yesterday, he trotted in from the yard with a half-brick in his mouth. I took it away from him and went outside to see where he'd found such a thing in my ostensibly puppy-proofed yard. I found a little pile of bricks deep under the deck, where not only can I not squeeze in, I'm surprised Mr. Long Legs Rawley can! He keeps going out for more, and I keep taking them away. Soon I'll have them all."]

Dooley will also bring the food -- stolen off the kitchen counter, of course.

I don't really care what the topic is, Christie. I can NOT get enough Rawley pics. I just want to tousle the floppy ears.

Awww, If you need any carpentry work done, Dooley is great at shredding wood! Maybe they could team up.

Now all we need is a drywaller...

EYE NOES! He's just irresistible! How on earth do I get anything done?
Posted by: Christie Keith | 20 April 2010 at 08:00 PM
Oh, I snatched the bricks away as he brought them inside! And he doesn't have access to the yard when I'm not here, he's still too young to be allowed to free-range, LOL. He's not even four months old yet!

Rawley is a handsome boy. I hope he didn't break any teeth on those bricks. It is amazing what these pups will chew on. I can't wait to hear what he "builds" next.
Posted by: Kristen Nelson, DVM | 20 April 2010 at 08:00 PM
He's so handsome!
Posted by: ericka | 20 April 2010 at 08:00 PM
He has such an innocent face. Keep that going, Rawley, you may need it when you aren't a puppy any longer.

"EYE NOES!"

You should see the things my guys dig up out of the ground; A two foot long piece or rout iron, a wrench, china, ect.

Hilarious! Who said you can't have fun with a brick? :)
