Single "parent" woes

Witness Tex's latest artistic installment:

Last night while I was cleaning the covers to the dog beds, Tex destroyed the foam insert. A million little pieces of foam for my cleaning enjoyment! You know the phrase "my head was turned for just a second. . ." I guess this is what I get for knitting when he wanted attention.

So this is how my youngest "child" is responding to his "dad" being away. He's acting out!!! There's no positive male role model in his life, so he's falling into a lifestyle of cheap thrills and aggressive butt sniffing.

Sigh.

I'm sure he'll be a perfect angel when John returns, but he's killing me with this kind of mess!
