Today I think was one of the best. We live in queens in an attached house. My neighbors are italian and all have very nice gardens. She has eaten a lot of basil from one neighbor and grape leaves from the other. But today, she was playing in the yard and came up with something, jumped on the couch and hid her face. I knew that was trouble. Eventually she let me see and it was a green tomato that she plucked from another neighbor's vine. Needless to say we are not popular on the block.

I did not total this on purpose. I don't even want to know! Because the good thing is, most of the time she is very sweet and lovable. She is very smart, does a few cool tricks, is great with kids and loves other dogs. So many people have commented to me what a sweet face she has (they should only know!!). One guy from the park even said, "do you know your dog smiles a lot". I guess that is because we love her and she's happy. She is even good at the vet. So even though she is very destructive, I think we'll keep her. Eventually it will stop...........right????
