Naughty Puppy Thursday: Jumping Troublemaker

Chester was quite the little troublemaker this morning. While I was getting ready, I heard a little noise in the living room. I went out to check on him, and he came darting out of the bedroom. In there, I discovered a pen laying on the floor, but the cap was missing.

Great.

The chase was on.

I chased him around and under the dining room table before he made his break for the bedroom. He hasn't quite figured out that I can easily corner him in there. Once captured, I discovered he did not have the pen cap anymore. I put him in his pen and began searching for it as I thought, "I do NOT have time for this right now." I finally found it under the old couch in the dining room.

He has this thing lately where when he's about to be caught with something in his mouth, he will drop that item and run away from it. As if he won't get in trouble if the evidence is no longer on his person. Tricky little thing.

Mind you, this pen was originally on the side table, so he must have climbed onto the couch and then onto the table to get it. After those shenanigans, he was stuck in the same room as me.

Later, we were in the bedroom so I could change. I look over, and of course he was standing on top of his kennel. I mean, why wouldn't he be? Then, I put him on the bed and he tried to jump on top of the dresser. What is his deal?!

But the latest naughty behavior occurred in the bathroom...

"What? Am I not supposed to be up here?"

Yes, beginning this week he likes to jump on top of the toilet. Luckily, we almost always keep it shut. But, if he keeps this up, one of these days he may end up with a cold wet surprise.
