I got a great laugh out of this. Sorry that you have to experience it, but know I am laughing with you....my 80 pound half boxer, half golden retreiver, who is 5 years old has a problem being left alone. Her favorite thing to do is empty out the trash can, but she also has been known to somehow get hold of the end of a skein of yarn and run around the entire house time and time again until it will not go any further. If she still has time and another skein is available, she does it again. LOL. So, like you, I am amazed at her abilities.
