Would you have a sense of humor if your Malinois...

<ul>[*]goes over the coffee table instead of around to get to the couch, or over the back of the couch to get to the front [*]puts holes in your clothes or hands when playing [*]has more energy than you do [*]missed biting your nose by inches (this is called "face clopping); you will develop fast reflexes [*]mistakes your hose for a snake and won't let you fight that shovel, vacuum cleaner, or lawnmower all by yourself [*]gives you a heart attack by leaping 5' off your deck at 4 months of age, or goes over your 6' fence as soon as your back is turned [*]sucks your best sweater into its crate and eats it, and does it to your next best sweater because you forget to create a DMZ (Danger: Malinois Zone) around its crate [*]bites you if you won't give it the ball [*]flat foot jumps on a car, table, or kichen counter [*]eats its water bucket more than once [*]etc...

Malinois rules of ownership:
The Malinois says:
<ul>[*] If its in my mouth, its mine.[*] If I'm touching it, its mine.[*] If I can see it, its mine.[*] If I can smell it, its mine.[*] If you hide it on me, I have the right to bite you because its mine.[*] If another dog (non-malinois) has it, I can correct them because they have something that is mine.[*] If its edible, its mine.[*] If its in that big cold box in that room you call a "kitchen" its mine.[*] If its in that pail or bucket in that same room, its mine.[*] If you don't give it to me, that and your hand are mine.[*] If its in my crate, or within reach, its mine.[*] If the human is eating it, its mine.[/list]

I love him to death but he drives me crazy. The house can be all nice and clean, and in a matter of minutes there is cotten from stuffed animals, yesterdays torn mail, a music cd, one of my honey's bras, any number of socks (he loves socks) hair clips, and anything else he can get his mouth around, strewn all about the house creating a complete and total disaster area. He just got neutered the other day and we thought that one beneficial side effect was that he might calm down a bit - - - wrong! We can't get him to slow down despite doctors orders that he take it easy for a couple of weeks.
