The nose will find trouble (err...treasure?)

A while back we headed over to Orlando for a little R&R and stayed in one of the hotel resorts.  Each night we would take Riggs for a nice long walk around the hotel complex.  He was in heaven running around everywhere, sniffing all the smells, sensory overload basically.  Anyhoo, one night as we were walking along the sidewalk Riggs in his typical pattern is falling way behind OCDing about something he smells in the grass.  I figured he found another spot of pee or pile of poo or some dead worm.  I turn around to see what it is that he found this time and what do I happen to see...Riggs standing there with an entire Hot Dog in his mouth.

As many of you are well aware if you have been following Riggs blog for any time, he is allergic to just about everything.  So I start walking over to him and that little stinker is trying to consume (more like swallow the thing whole) the hot dog as fast as he can before I can get to him and take it away.

He got about half of it down by the time I got to him and luckily did not have some major allergic reaction.  He must have been so excited when he got a whiff of the hot dog jackpot.

What did you do!?!?

I guess it is my fault for leaving him unattended for too long.  I should have known something was up when it was too quiet.  I was upstairs messing around on the computer and Riggs was downstairs.  Like I had mentioned, I am convinced Riggs has OCD.  It felt way too quiet downstairs so I went to check on him and what did I find you ask?  It looked like a big ball of yarn right on the edge where the tile meets the carpet.  But oooh no that was not yawn, that was the actual carpet that Riggs has successfully pulled up and shredded.  So any visitors that enter our home will immediately get to see the lovely blemish he has left behind now.

OCD

I am convinced our dog has OCD.  His most current obsession is going behind the TV.  I don’t know if he found a bug back there one day or just curious about all the wires but he will not stay away from the back of the TV.  We finally ended up having to build a wall on both sides out of various boxes to keep him out.
