It was a dark, stormy night. (well not really, but that just sounded more dramatic). Young Sheldon Gryffindor was at home in Palm Springs, under the watch of his two older brothers, Koshimi and Owen. Throughout the house were a range of toys-plush, rope, tennis balls and more. A collection of flavored bones, smoked knuckles and peanut butter filled femurs dotted the floors, ready for the whim of a bored puppy. But on this night, none of these were of interest to our 19 week old Standard Poodle Puppy. Blame it on the full moon. Or was it a minor tremor in the Earth? The boredom factor kicked in and Young Sheldon heard the calling of a fresh, new roll of paper towels left haphazardly on the coffee table in the media room. Not unlike the Paper Towel Massacre or the Spanish Moss Incident, this roll of paper towels proved far too tempting for him to resist. What would follow shall henceforth be known as The Hapless Happenstance. When we entered the main foyer, we were greeted with this sight:
above: Earlier in the day, the Oriental rug was removed for cleaning, which left a perfect open court for the antics of a bored poodle puppy.
above: Young Sheldon came running to greet us. His excitement in seeing us was mixed with pride for his artistic accomplishment, a work of art in paper media.
above: The artist attempts to provide his interpretation of this great work of art. Being the author of the Sunday Art Review, I ascertained that this would not stand up to artistic standards of my readers, thus I deemed this as unworthy for consideration as true art. Much to the dismay of the young canine artist, it was disassembled shortly after our untimely discovery.
