We hope you had a wonderful holiday season! I thought we'd start off the new blog year with the show Dexter put on for us a couple of weeks ago. Alayne had just brought up a new case of paper towels to the kitchen (we go through so many paper towels we buy them by the pallet load from Costco). For some reason, Dexter got it in his little Dachshund brain that he was going to dispense the rolls of paper towels himself, perhaps thinking he could help speed things up for her.
As soon as Alayne set the case down on the floor, he ran over to the corner of it and started pulling on the plastic with his teeth. Dexter got the first roll out in a flash. He'd never done anything like this before, so Alayne picked up the camera to see what would happen next.
Here he's after roll No. 2, apparently trying to make the hole in the bag bigger:
Time to go inside and grab a roll with your teeth:
That didn't work, we gather, because he hopped on top to assess the situation further … "say, just how many are actually in here?":
Upon further inspection, he decided to flip the case over. Presumably paper towel rolls are easier to grab with your teeth (especially if you don't have many teeth) if they are standing up vertically:
I've never tried to bite a paper towel roll with my teeth so I can't really say.
But clearly that did make a difference (who knew?), because here came the rolls:
Now he was having to burrow inside (isn't that what Dachshunds were designed for?) to grab the next one:
You go, little fella:
"Dang, there are more in here than I thought":
Please notice in all these previous photos how blind Goldie is just standing there, no doubt wondering what the munchkin is doing.
He's down to the final few:
Alayne said he got all but the last two out before giving up. He couldn't figure out how to extricate the two remaining ones from all the plastic wrapping.
I don't think he actually helped speed up the process, but much entertainment was had by all.
