Sully Strikes Again

Lets start with a little background. I have not put Sully in his crate at night for almost 2 weeks. He has had free run of the family room and kitchen. He has done wonderfully until this morning. Picture it - It is 5:00 am, I just crawled out of bed, I come into the family room to feed Sully and this is the first thing I see. I stand there for about 30 seconds trying to figure out what in the world Sully has gotten into this time.

I take a few steps forward and I see exactly what it is.

He actually ate part of my couch. Clearly at 10 months old Sully is not quite mature enough to be left out of his crate alone for an extended amount of time. I wonder if while eating the couch his little puppy brain ever thought it was a bad idea. I could really use the help of the pet psychic - anyone know what happened to her? Lets just say that I was not happy with Sully this morning and I was ready to give him away. But really how long can stay mad at a face like this?

He is so lucky that he is an adorable dog. My plan is to use the fabric from a pillow to fix the couch. Sully was kind enough to not destroy the trim so I will be able to use it again. It will not be perfect but at least it will be better then looking at a piece of wood.
