He ate the bowl; She dug another hole

So, I'm sitting in a meeting with my boss and boss's boss this morning when I get a text message from Tonya. Of course I didn't have my cell phone on vibrate and got a quizical look and a statement of "what was that?". I appologized and turned down the volume. When the meeting was over, I read her text "just caught tasha diggin under the trampoline; tried to take a pic but she moved". I wrote her back saying that yesterday Kyra was out in the yard playing with the dogs and she fell in one of Tasha's holes. My back yard is a disaster thanks to the little monsters. They have dug numerous holes, pulled gutter downspouts down, ripped up bags of mulch, chewed flower pots, etc. It was once a lovely place...

When I got home from work tonight, I opened the basement door to let the dogs in. Normally they are both waiting at the door. However, tonight, only Tasha was at the top of the steps. I waited a few minutes thinking that Riley would be coming soon, but he didn't. I had a momentary panic that he had escaped from the back yard. So I ran down the basement steps in my high heels and called him as I walked outside. He was lying down chewing on something blue. I saw several chunks of whatever this was scattered around. I had no idea what it was at first. But when I called his name, he came running up to me with a chunk of blue plastic in his mouth. I asked him to drop it and he deposited this portion of their WATER BOWL! I can't believe he destroyed their WATER BOWL! But then again, why not? He's destroyed most things he's sunk his teeth into. What next?
