[nagdu] Dogs Unwrapping Their Presents

[Steven Johnson]

Hey Nicole,
The only possible downside is if your pup associates this with being all
right to rip apart other things.  However, from what I am hearing you say,
it is a chaperoned thing and you basically give her the okay to do it.  If
this is the case, rip away my 4 legged friend!

As I have probably mentioned before, we have a Border Collie mix as a pet.
Our pet dog loves the holidays because she knows that she will get to tear
open a paper bag of dog treats. I got a new toy to give to Lexia as her
Christmas. My mother said that I should just open the paper bag for her
instead of letting Lexia tear up the bag. I won the argument, and Lexia got
to tear up the paper bag. What do people think of this? Lexia *never* picks
up and chews/tears up anything without permission. As a matter of fact, it
took her a moment or two to realize that she could tear up the bag. Given
that she won't do it again for several months, possibly an entire year, do
people think that Lexia should be allowed to tear open the paper bag to get
her present?

Nicole and Lexia
