Bad Dog!

Jake and I both decided that Clyde is our test from God to see if we can handle children. So far we have failed...we will be one of those parents that catches their kid hitting their sibling then we'll turn around and smack them on the back of the head while yelling "Don't Hit". As you can see from the photo Jake is scolding Clyde for doing something very naughty. After a long day of yard work I crashed in the living room for a nap...Jake was in the bedroom preparing his Sunday School lesson. I woke up to Clyde yelping and Jake yelling. Well this is how the story unfolds:

Jake decided that he needed to move the sprinkler out back...he noticed that Clyde was taking a poop so he would have plenty of time to race outside move and sprinkler and come back in without being slobbered on by the dog. Jake managed to get to the sprinkler however Clyde was quicker at pooping. Unfortunately, Jake had left the screen wide open...Clyde & Jake both bolted for the sliding door. Clyde beat Jake to the door...from the doorway Clyde managed to jump onto our bed. {One side note about Clyde: when he manages to sneak into the house he is a born Klepto-maniac....he looks for the closest thing that he can steal and runs away with it. For example, he has managed to take the TV remote, a bra, socks, couch pillows, a banana, Jake's school work and a few shoes} After leaping onto the bed he immediately grabbed the closest thing....JAKE'S pillow. Jake grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and threw him off the bed. It scared Clyde so bad he left us a little surprise.....a dog NUGGET! Jake had literally scared the poop right out him.

{Kleptomania is the condition of not being able to resist the urge to steal or hoard things.}

People with this disorder usually exhibit guilt after the theft

Does this look like a guilty face?
