So, Maverick has a bad habit of destroying pillows left in his crate while we're at work. Although I'm not that concerned about the pillows I am concerned about him swallowing on some stuffing/material and getting a blockage.

To solve this pillow-shredding dilemma, we bought him a Kuranda bed... but of course, he guilted us in to putting a pillow on top of that Kuranda bed so he could rest in style. He's managed to take some chunks out of a couple more pillows during the day, so he's back to only his Kuranda bed.

Being the well-trained "mommy and daddy" we are, we of course put a pillow back in for the evenings and overnight. (I swear he's not spoiled ). This week I've been removing the pillow every morning, which has turned into the hilarious adventures of Maverick trying to find ways to keep his pillow in his bed. Its gone something like this:

Monday - go out for a pee... notice Mom taking pillow run and dive to try to stop her... Give mom stink eye for the rest of the morning

Tuesday - go out for a pee.... try to race Mom back to the pillow... almost made it

Wednesday - go out for a pee... try to race Mom back to the pillow... would have beat her, but she remembered to close the crate door

Thursday - Go out for a pee... one more diving attempt, I made it, but didn't catch enough pillow

Friday - Refuse to get out of crate so Mom can't take the pillow... get lured with cookies, but keep my back legs on the pillow so I can reverse quickly... finally get out for some steak!

This little guy keeps me on my toes!
