It's a mistake! #destructogang

Many of you who are on Twitter will know about #destructogang - a group formed by @MissPishPosh consisting of anipals who destroy things.


Is this the face of a destroyer?



Well, I received a membership badge from the UK badge distributor @RealJoanneK. I'm sure you'll all agree that the design by @super_nat is lovely, but I think there must have been a mistake! I'm not sure why I have been included in destructogang - I mean it's not as if I destroy things!

Sniffing to check it's for me
Definitely my badge









There may have been a few *ahem* incidents that have occurred implicating me, but I can explain them all (Your Honour).

For example, this rope toy was cleared damaged by the friction of the floor, therefore not my fault it became a little dishevelled.
"Before"


"After"

The ball on the rope pictured below was a health & safety problem. I had to shorten the rope to prevent injuries to the humans (they get a bit tetchy when their legs get bashed during ball flinging). It also made the toy more ergonomic for the humans. So you can see what a selfless dog I am sacrificing my toy enjoyment for the love of my humans.


Health & safety nightmare.


The ring toy below was purely adapted for educational purposes. I think it shows my academic potential. Not sure I can do the whole alphabet with it though!


This used to be an "O"
Now it's a "C"

When I help with the gardening, Owner sometimes misinterprets it as destruction. 


See? The pruning worked a treat!

Just pruning the loganberry!
Mum & Dad have a problem with rabbits in their garden.



The photo below may look like I was destroying the toy, but as it was during the World Cup Football games, you can't be too carefully with security. Someone has to check for bombs. I didn't get any thanks for my bravery though.

I know it looks bad!




Owner sometimes takes random photos of broken stuff. I'm a bit annoyed really because it makes it look as if I did it!

I wasn't there & you can't prove it was me.



OK, OK, I'll admit that this ball was damaged by my teeth, but if Owner buys inferior quality balls I can't be held responsible for the consequences.

Brain sculpture


Owner brought this disaster on herself. She put some treats in the end of my toy, so I had to get them out somehow!


Why didn't she just give me the treats?





Sometimes there's no getting away from the odd accident. If a ball accidentally gets caught in my teeth & the fluff on the outside gets caught up occasionally the ball "falls apart".

Who said balls were supposed to be round?



 Of course there are times when a dog has to carry out a mercy mission. Free the squeak is an active mission.

Free the squeak

It's in here somewhere
So you can see, it's clearly a case of mistaken identity!

I'm an innocent dog!

    *Ahem* I mean...I have no idea why you would be inducted into the #destructogang. There is surely a difference between proper security measures, providing adequate safety in one's home and keeping the garden from overtaking the house. Maybe it is some kind of conspiracy...*looks around wild-eyed*...to make it LOOK like you are the destroyer of all toys?!?

    *whispers* I will keep my eyes and ears open for signs of a 'conspiracy plot' against you.
