… What does this say about me?
Heh. Probably nothing good.
But allow me to defend myself. I was, to be fair, asleep when she did this.
Normally I can hear mischief from miles away, even while I’m sleeping, and I fly out of bed to put an end to it.
Seriously, I should have a cape.
Unfortunately my cold has weakened my supernatural abilities and I had no idea she even had access to this pencil until after she got bored with it.
I wonder what the AKC would say about this…
Look! There’s even Collie hairs sticking out of it! Ha!
I’m still wondering where she found this pencil.
I had a few of them in my purse, from when the local pet store (now closed! 
darn it!) was offering free training classes for the Canine Good Citizen test (which Lassie took and passed);
“I don’t chew on pencils.”
they were giving out these pencils. I guess they felt they had too many pencils, because she gave me a whole handful of them. I don’t know why. She probably looked at me and thought, “She’s probably a student, she could use a few thousand pencils!”
Well I’m not a student and I’ve had these pencils for a year now and haven’t so much as sharpened them.
I only have one, misplaced, pencil sharpener and dozens of markers.
So of course I use the markers.
Anyway.
I wish I could say this was the first time Petal ever chewed on a pencil, but that is not so. She has raided our pencil box once before, so we’re careful to keep the lid on it.
She never swallows them though, thank goodness. Crayons, on the other hand…
Yeah, I’m looking at you! Miss Rainbow Poop!
“Crayons are good.”
Haha! Oh, that is so ironic! Nola’s eaten crayons before too. Makes it easy to find the bombs when I scoop the yard 😉

LOL, your post just made our Mama spit Diet Coke on Lola’s head!
We love the title of your site too… Stop by ours and enter to win a cool doggy toy!

BOL! I is laughing. I chew on stupid things like my poop and the cat toys

Your girl and my Kori would seriously be best friends! They are so much alike, even the expression of guilt!
Oh gosh, don’t tell Monty!

I like the little CGC scarf to help declare innocence. Great diagram of the anatomy of a chewed pencil! My boys chew on the odd object every once in a while too. As long as they don’t swallow any parts I’m okay.
Another crayon eating collie. Chuck’s collie Sadie did that too. Haven’t caught mine eating pencils or pens. His story about it made me think of the song Kodachrome and resulted in the following modified lyrics. I can imagine Petal singing along.
When I think back
On all the crap I left in our backyard
It’s a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of education
Hasn’t hurt me none
I can read the writing in the poo
Crayons
You give it those nice bright colors
You give it the greens of summers
Makes you think all the poo’s a sunny day, oh yeah!
I ate a box of 64 colors
I love to take a photograph
So Chuck, don’t take my Crayons away
haha! I wish David had only chewed a pencil. As it is I’m replacing a pair of glasses :(((
Stay firm Petal! Innocent until proven guilty! LOL! I hope your cold gets better soon.
Ha! I love the Collie hair. We joke about how Violet’s hair travels everywhere with us. At any given point, no matter where we are or what we’re doing…we could get out of a swimming pool in another state and still locate a Collie hair on us somewhere.
