The Adventures of Houdini (AKA Becca)

So, I have this dog, Becca. She's a 9month old part lab, part something else. You can certainly look at her and see that there is lab in her, but its the dragging crap in the yard that shows me for sure that she's a lab! Since she was a puppy, we've often regretted calling her Becca, believing that Houdini would fit her much better. She escaped the puppy pen we built for her within the first week, and many more times thereafter. She has escaped the runner by breaking her collar and another time by somehow unbuckling it. She's super skittish of anyone, and rarely allows us to pet her, but you can tell that she loves us nonetheless. For months she has been dragging stuff into my yard. I've had underwear and other clothing, pieces of couches, dead animal bones, carpets, trash, you name it. I clean it up, she trashes it again. Its almost a game now. Well, tonight takes the cake. I had one of the neighbors pull up in my yard. You probably guessed it...she stole someones shoes. Nikes at that! Grabbed them right off the porch. Damn dog.
