Naughty or Nice?

With December just around the corner you could hardly believe that I should be posting such a title right? Well, after I tell my story,  you can decide what the decision should be – Naught or Nice.

In order to tell the story I have to go back a couple of weeks ago to a conversation that Daryl and I had. He was getting the dogs and chicken electric dish waters around to see just what was going to work for the winter and what needed to be replaced. I knew that some of them were in tough shape because I found parts of them in the yard. (good clue right?) But I figured that it seems like every year we buy at least one new one and at one or two of them should work. Well, Daryl said that some of them didn’t work because the dogs chewed off the ends of the cords. At first I thought no big deal, let’s just put some new ends on the cords.But it didn’t turn out that easy. I found out that the dogs chewed the whole cords off!  And then the trouble began. I have been also thinking about what is needed for our outside Christmas decorations and went looking for my ‘good’ extension cords. These are cords that I try to keep even away from Daryl. Otherwise they seem to disappear in the machine shed or cattle shed and it drives me crazy when I’m ready to plug in the lights and I can’t find them. When I was telling Daryl that I wanted to get things organized for Christmas he said that the dogs got a hold of the extension cords and that he didn’t think that I could use them. I wasn’t sure why he just couldn’t put new ends on them – well… until he told me to go in the barn and take a look at what was left of the cords.

This is what I found. A lot of small pieces of the cords. And the worst thing is that I have no idea where the ends are. I’m thinking that maybe Kaiser ate them!

I have no idea on how many different cords this is

I know the dogs get bored during the day, and I also know that Kaiser just plain can’t help getting into trouble. But for now? Now they’re both on the naughty list  🙁
