Murphy’s path of destruction, a photo post

Ollie spoiled us. He was a very, VERY good puppy. He was just good, with very little training necessary. He wasn’t destructive. He was a good sleeper. He was happy to just listen to us and play with his toys.

And then came Murphy.

This little numbnut, WHOM I ADORE, cannot be left alone for more than 15 minutes without finding something that we have been too lazy to put away. Behold, a photo collection of his destruction…

A Lowes Lawn & Garden clipping bag. He beat the crap out of it.



Random trash.


This was a Longaberger basket from the late 90s. Sigh.


Mom’s checkbook cover.


RIP, Surface charger cable.


He opened up a package of Quest bars. Luckily I found him before he got into the box. The literal box of dog food remained untouched.


A roll of paper towel that we left on a lower shelf.


Have I mentioned that he’s a jumper and a climber, too? Yuuuuuuuuuuup. That’s how we went from this:

Classy gate. April, 2017.


To this:

Maximum security bathroom. September, 2017.


But I wouldn’t change one second of it, because then I wouldn’t have this…

omg that face I die…


Or this..

Brothers and almost best friends.

    ha! These made me laugh. When Gus was little he destroyed EVERYTHING. He kept doing it until past five years old. Every once in a while now at age 12 he destroys things for old time’s sake.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
