I Was Framed I Tell You!,

Grizz looks like a mixture between a collie and a German shepherd. He's the sweetest dog, but when he was younger, you couldn't leave him alone for five minutes!

As soon as no one was looking, he'd use his big wet nose to poke the garbage can until it fell over, tear open the plastic bag inside and go treasure hunting. Ten minutes later the whole house would look like a battlefield.

He grew out of that habit when he was about 2 years old, but until then there was just no stopping him. All we could do was to hide the garbage can - and all other breakable objects for that matter.

One day my wife and I went to the movies without hiding the garbage can. By the time we realized the oversight, it was already too late. For the remainder of the movie we kept telling each other what horrors to expect once we got home.

Back home, we slowly opened the kitchen door, hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. We were dumbfounded to find the kitchen, the living room, and all other rooms just the way we had left them. We were so proud of Grizz not having wreaked havoc... until we saw him!

There he stood, squinting at us with a picture frame around his neck! Don't ask me how, but somehow he had managed to take a picture off the wall, eat it and stick his head through the frame.

I guess he had been so busy trying to get the frame off of his neck, he just hadn't had time to mess up the rest of the house.
