I Suffer From NDS

The diagnosis has been confirmed.  It's official.  I have NDS.

See those??  That is the dinnerware set my mom use to have.  But then she got me.  And now she, dad, and the human children eat off paper plates.  Out of eight unbreakable, Corelle dinner plates, all but one have been shattered.  I really am not sure why I am the one to blame.  Had the children rinsed the plates off and set them in the sink after supper like they are suppose to, I would not have felt compelled to knock them to the floor to rinse them off myself.  (I was unable to follow through rinsing them.  So disappointing.  Once the paw-rents heard the plates hit the floor, they dragged me from the kitchen and refused to let me help with clean up.)

Apparently my obsession with plates is not limited to only those containing recent remnants of food.  Mom came into the kitchen to find me chewing her favorite Christmas cookie serving plate.  It wasn't glass - just a strong plastic.  Last years Christmas cookies must have been a wonderfully delectable treat as I could smell the scent absorbed into the plate.  No matter how hard I chewed though, all I could taste was plastic. 

I know I've told you before how much I love chewing mom's favorite pair of Crocs.  She doesn't wear them away from home since I came along though.  She says they are just 'around the house' shoes now.

And when I destroyed a new 'indestructible' Kong toy after the first five minutes of play, mom wasn't at all thrilled.  She even wrote a strongly worded letter to the KONG company, to which they replied:

Thank you for choosing KONG and taking the time to contact us with your feedback regarding your recent KONG AirDog Dumbbell purchase. All KONG toys are tested extensively before being put on the market. However, we’ve learned that every dog has a unique chewing temperament, and it is not necessarily predictable by size or breed. Until you know your dogs chewing temperament, if you don’t already, we recommend that every toy be used under supervision (usually about 2 weeks).

I would like to also give you a few recommendations for your future dog toy purchases. We always urge owners to buy toys that are larger than the palette of a dogs mouth; this will help keep toys in good working condition. If your dogs really love to chew their toys, try moving up a size or switching to the black KONG Extreme made from our most durable rubber formula.

Mom's sorely disappointed in their response seeing as how I am just a five month old puppy and it was a large sized toy.  HUMPH!

Ok, not completely destroyed.  Not yet!

And so now I'm labeled as NDS.  Just cause I ate a few dishes, shoes, and toys.  Sheesh. 

Well, I may have Naughty Dog Syndrome, but at least we naughty dogs have more fun!
