bored puppy

They've been promising this ice storm for several days now. With 24 hours still to go before the weather is supposed to get above freezing, the puppy is bored already. He's six months old now, and innovative in his attempts to entertain himself. He decided to look out the kitchen window while ago and got yelled at for attempted destruction of a miniblind that is older than his mother. Next he tried to get the older dogs to play with him. Nope, they were curled up trying to sleep. I filled the rubber treat ball with kibble, he knocked down the broom and then the ball was lost behind something, and then...I wasn't able to give him something to play with and then go do my own work. Besides, since everybody heard the food bin being opened, they were all gathered around him while he was trying to play with the ball. We went for another walk, and then everyone was ready for a nap, finally I got to work for awhile.
