I...Am ...A PAPER HOLIC.

Hey, I will admit it. I am one SNEAKY Beagle. Though I get caught MANY times getting into things I shouldn't get into. The punishment? That STUPID squirt gun. Yes everyone out there. I HATE water. When I am misbehaving. I get squirted by a spray bottle. Heck! Even the mention of the squirt gun sends shivers down my spine. The minute I see my humans reach for that yellow bottle I bolt. And when they ask me "Baxter, do you want the gun?" I bolt. Now I love my humans with all my heart but they have to understand I AM A BEAGLE. My duties in life are sniffing and getting into things I shouldn't get into. What would my life be if I didn't? I enjoy exploring the house and finding objects. Even though my humans "dog proof" (BOL I have to chuckle at that) the house I will find SOMETHING. With a sniffer like mine it's impossible for me not to! Wanna know what my favorite thing to get into? Paper. ESPECCCCCCCIALLLY Tissue paper. Oh the joys I get ripping to shreds tissues. Toilet paper rolls are the best because the shredding never seems to stop! I also enjoy cardboard, writing paper, packaging..the list goes on and on. One time I shredded a whole box of Capri Sun. The box was laying out freely by the refrigerator. Now how could I resist? There laid a perfectly UNOPEN, UNDESTROY, SHINY NEW BOX. What was a Beagle supposed to do? So I dragged that sucker out of the kitchen. It was quite heavy but I am a strong dude with TONS of determination. I did not drink or destroy those foil pouches I just demolished the box. When my humans got home they found traces of the cardboard box all over the house. They followed the trail and found me under the desk with the box. I proceeded to hide the evidence by covering it with my chin. That didn't work out too well. Next thing I know my pops had the squirt gun. *SQUIRT SQUIRT SQUIRT*. I ran for my life! Now let me tell you. I am other wise a GREAT Beagle. I am loving, fun, entertaining, and oh so cute. Everyone loves me. But I am here to admit. I. THAT BEAGLE BAXTER. AM ADDICTED TO PAPER. *Whew* There I said it. I wonder if there are self help group for dogs like me? 

Yours Truly,

That Beagle Baxter
