Cody is the new Marley......

In case you haven't read the book Marley and Me it is a book that tells the story of life with Marley, a very destructive lab. As I was reading the book I had to laugh because I was currently living the author's life with my new lab Cody.

Cody is now 17 months old and still very much a puppy. And still very very destructive. I thought that he had finally stopped being so destructive......but I was sooooo very wrong. Here is what Ashley came home to today.....

This would be what is left of my couch.

Here is one of the throw pillows from my couch.

And here are the magazines and newspapers that were sitting so neatly on the bottom shelf of the entry way table. If you look real close you can see a throw rug on the carpet...that's because he destroyed the carpet right there and we haven't fixed it yet.

When Ashley sent me these pictures I couldn't do anything but laugh.....yes, I have completely lost it. I had just convinced DH to get new furniture for Christmas too. Now we really need it but how can I justify the money if Cody is just going to tear it up? Sorry Cody....but looks like it is time to put up a gate and block you from anything you might be able to destroy when no one is home.
