The Havoc: A Pet Photo Essay

by Hilary Price

This is the one responsible for starting the chain of destruction.

As you can see, he is not a law-abiding:

The cat likes to bring the live chipmunk inside the house through the cat door and let it go. For him, the game is over.

And now it is the dog’s turn, and in the excitement of the chase, the living room explodes. This is where I come home and arrive upon the scene.

Where he runs up the gutter.

I did not think this was an issue, as my dog has never been able to catch a chipmunk, inside OR outside the house.  I did not realize how frustrating this was to him until several days later.
