so my dog is going through a second puppyhood but being a little bit older now (12) shes a bit more cunning, recently she has been stealing empty plastic containers taking them down the park and putting a few puncture marks in them, stealing un opened bags from the low closed kitchen cupboards taking them outside and shreding them, sneaking into my mums pottery shed to open the fabric boxes (my mums very arty) to pull them all out and generally make a big mess, but yesterday she went to a whole other level she went up to the side shed (we have lots of sheds) got into the recycling box and took out an empty beer bottle which she took down to the sunken garden and proceeded to try and eat this was quite worrying as when we found the mess there was blood on the glass. its got to the point now where she isnt allowed in the front of the house or any of the sheds, im just dreading what shes going to do next

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?
