Troll Dog

Here she is, my lovely canine companion, with her newly completed redocoration project. I think she had a lot of fun with this one.

Here is what I have learned: Firstly, putting a couple of army blankets over one's bed does not protect it from doggie depredations. Secondly, Rose is capable of a lot of chewing in a very short space of time. The day after the event pictured, I put her in a wire kennel while I was gone (PETA people, do not freak out; she was comfortable and happy, with bed, toys, and treats.) But the one thing I forgot to do was remove all chewable objects from range, so she managed to grab the edge of my comforter, pull it into her kennel, and completely remove and destroy the blue-and-green apple duvet. Then she somehow chewed off all 4 plastic carry handles that were attached to the outside of the kennel. I am very impressed, she is a true troll dog.

The third thing I learned is that goose down is very difficult to sweep up. It's been a week and there are still feathers lurking in the corners like surly little pixies, ready to float out of range at the first sign of a broom.
