This is the last of the “Little People”. Thirty of them used to live here. But that was before Wylie (the dog). Do you notice anything wrong with this little person? Both of his arms are chewed off. But he’s lucky…he still has his head!
Wylie steals them one by one from the toy box. And you ask why a mother of two college students has a toy box and a bunch of “Little People” toys. Well, Dirt Man still likes to play. No, really I run a daycare.
Wylie rummages through the toy box with her nose until she finds a little person. Obviously, her toy of choice! Then she maims them. One arm at a time. Unless we catch her, she takes them (after mutilation) and hides them in the flower garden.
If we don’t find the armless little person and dispose of him, she then proceeds to chew his head. And then the little person gets trashed. Same routine. All the last twenty-nine of them. Wylie’s been on a roll.
This poor lonely guy. Guess we’ll keep him until he loses his head!
Wylie? I haven't seen her!
This is Wylie hoping we won’t recognize her.
I wonder what the fascination is with them!

Oh NO! It’s MICHAEL! *sniff*
We’re wondering what kind of dog she is. She’s humungous.

She’s a labradoodle. 85 lbs and just turned one. But she’s a sweet big baby except when she chews up the Little People!

uh oh, wylie is a bit mischievious! He looks adorable in his glasses, and I bet he is just as cute without them. The little person is cute too, even mamed. I’m impressed that you run a day care. Now that’s hard work!

Wylie’s precious! And I love the sunglasses.
Your post takes me back to my puppy’s sock-stealing days — nothing was safe from Chipper. And with four boys, there were a lotta socks in my house!
Just found your blog — I’ll be back!

OMG…Wylie is adorable! Can I take him off your hands for a while? We can use a little cleaning up of toys…you know, get rid of some for good??

That armless wonder should go in your fine china cabinet to look after collectibles. I don’t think I knew you ran a day care…? You must have TONS of funny stories. Wylie is precious–very distinctive.

Oh, yes I have lots of stories…as much with dealing with parents as with the funny things the little ones do!

Oh lord no, won’t someone think of the “Little People”. Wow, you really need to get your dog some better shades.

Weird how it is just those little people. My dogs have a box of toys and Stitch only plays with one.

It can’t be easy to be angry at a dog that is just soooo damn cute!

I guess if I was a dog, I would think they were yummy to chew on too..they are so cute!

Abbey goes for the stuffed animals. Good thing destruction of Little People is not a crime she would serve life. She is a sweet pooch.
