My brother made a BIG mistake!

Rastus, my dalmo brother made a big mistake the other day!!

He got to chewing his itchy feet on the sofa again which always makes my Mum a little grumpy as he makes the leather all wet and manky and then it rips.

He must have completely forgotten where he was because after he'd chewed his feet enough that he'd made the hole in the leather a bit bigger he decided to eat chunks out of the foam rubber. He made quite a big hole in the cushion and there were bite size chunks of foam all over. I could see my Mum was really cross when she got home from earning the dog food. (by the way I really want to visit this place where the dog food comes from). My Mum didn't tell him off she said it was too late. She took a picture and sent it to my Dad and my Grandma and then she just cleaned it up.

But then Rastus did something REALLY, REALLY DUMB!! He got up on the sofa, sat right next to my Mum and took a big chomp out of the foam rubber. Wow, how dumb can you get! My Mum really told him off for that.

But get this, the dumbness gets better. A little while later my Dad came home and sat on the sofa and Rastus did it again, another big chomp out of the foam. My Dad didn't notice. He's pretty good at not noticing stuff, like when I want to go outside and when Rastus is chewing his feet. But my Mom was sitting on the other sofa and she notices, so Rastus got another good scolding.

Well my Mum had obviously had enough so she's banned Rastus from the sofas. I thought she was kidding herself when she said that. Keep Rastus off the sofas? NO WAY, he loves the sofas!! But she really meant it so now there is a bit of X-pen stretched across the front of each sofa and Rastus can't get on them.

He's being such a baby about it. He walks around whining and sooking and he can't settle down. Every time Mum or Dad open the X-pen so they can sit down he rushes over and tries to squeeze past. Of course they never let him.

He has a lovely bed all of his own, except that Rowdy the cat likes it too. This is a picture of me testing it out for him. I don't really like beds though I'd rather sleep on the cool tile. Mind you dalmo's are tragically lacking in the hair department. Rastus's tummy is BALD! So maybe that's why he is so weird about wanting to sleep on the sofas.

Maybe he doesn't like his bed 'cause it's pink but he does get in it sometimes.

He fits better than me, so Rowdy shares with him.

Anyway I hope he gets over this sofa thing soon, because I don't think my Mum is going to back down on this one and having a moping, whinging dalmo about the place is starting to get on my nerves.
