Pics of the two dogs as pups, the pit mix is Izzy. The black lab is Kade. The cat just gets called dumbshit most of the time. Smoking out kittens does in fact hinder their natural cat-like abilities.
The dogs, and the couch. Situation where the back door was not closed tightly when we left. You can see the outcome. From the looks of it, they just got stupid playful. Its one of those situations where they knew they had fucked up as soon as they saw us walk in. I was furious, but in all reality how mad can you get... (Im not a believer that hitting an animal for any reason will improve their behavior).
New couch's purchased last year, and we havent had one single situation that even closely related. So, I chalk it up as a learning experience.
