Kaylynn and I seem to go back and forth with a debate that has waged on since we got our cat, Tiger (as pictured on the left). The debate is over which of the two animals does more damage to our house, Hagen or Tiger.It has always been my opinion that Tiger has done more damage hands down. My case against Tiger, he likes to:
- knead on our bed
- claw at [and has ruined] the weather stripping when he wants to come inside, both from the garage and from outside
- climb up the screen door, and has ruined it and,
- for reasons only known to a neurotic cat he will go into my office and eat any pictures I have laying on my desk, only pictures....yeah...I don't know either.
 However, it looks like after today I will have to concede this debate to Kaylynn. We all left the house today like we normally do, with Hagen unattended. Rarely does he do anything he isn't suppose to when nobody is home, but today was different...a lot different.I think a "normal" dog that wanted to misbehave while being left unattended would find something to chew on that they aren't suppose to but is nevertheless readily accessible to them. Things are done a little differently around our house evidently. When we got home we found that Hagen decided that he would chew (or claw) off the trim around our front door. This isn't going to be very hard or expensive to fix, but seriously....what dog decides to chew on trim of all things? Also, in case you're wondering, no, he didn't get in trouble for this since it wouldn't have be fair to him because we weren't home to catch him in the act. It's also not his fault since I have not been excercising him as much as he needs to be. Who knew a dog weighing 120lbs could do more damage than a cat that ways what, like 7lbs? You win Kaylynn...you win...  Above: Hagen at 15 months old at 120lbs |
