First of all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Hope you all are enjoying the holiday season.
If you recall, a few weeks ago, our hundred pound German Shepherd, Schultz, found a box and had a great time playing with it. Many of you commented that we should give Schultz a box for Christmas. Well, we took your advice and did just that.
We gave him a box that was almost as big as he is, and then took him outside and let him do whatever he wanted. Let me tell you, the dog had a blast! He began by ripping down the sides. He clamped on to the box with his big mouth and shook his head ferociously. He threw it into the air. My husband caught it and held it high above the dog. Schultz jumped up and grabbed it. He tore it some more and pranced around the yard with a piece in his mouth.
This little charade went on for about twenty minutes. By the time Schultz was done, the box was completely ripped apart in very small pieces.
My husband picked up the pieces and dumped them into our recycle bin. "Thanks, Schultz!" he said. "Now I don't have to cut up the box."
It's good to have a German Shredder!

Hi, Sherry!
I love your play on words. Just think. You are the proud owner of a German Shredder, a rare and wonderful breed of working dog. Maybe you can train Schultz to mow the lawn with his mouth and chop logs for the fireplace. :) I can picture Schultz's antics in my mind because my dog Toto loved to rip into packaging the same way. It's good exercise for them and loads of entertainment for the people watching.
Happy new year to you and your family, dear Sherry. I look forward to building an even greater friendship with you in 2017. Take care and I'll see you soon!
Well, I guess that was a case (a box?) of sound advice, all right ! :)
Great story! Dogs can be fun to watch when they're playful. Have a wonderful New Year!
Best wishes to you also Sherry. At least the dog had a good Christmas.
Yvonne.
Haha! What a thorough German Shredder! I bet it was entertaining watching him play with his present. Wishing you a fabulous 2017!
Meanwhile, Bootsie is thinking Oh, thank Lawd that box isn't me
He'll never be boxed in. Who needs elaborate gifts, kids, dogs and cats all enjoy boxes haha
Schultz likes to find ways to be the center of attention and now he gets a new title besides! It's a win, win for him. I'll bet he was very relaxed after the box escapade.
Can just picture this! Shultz has a new job. :)
Oh, how fun. Now you know what to do when you have other boxes you need to dispose of.
Haha... that was a cute story, I need a Schultz to break up my boxes... xox
Aw, how precious. Glad Schultz had so much fun with his box!
Our dogs enjoy doing origami, too. I bet Schultz slept well after all that effort.
Dogs are the best...try doing that with a cat (it won't work). ;)
Oh, I'd love to have seen a video of this.
