- The UPS man will not come within 100 feet of our house. My mother has to physically walk to the truck to get our mail because the man is so afraid of my dog.
- At 6:30-7 p.m. every night, he decides that it is time to go and grab something from my parents room (clothes, shoes, whatever he can find), just because he know it will get us going.
- He has eaten two pairs of my Frye boots. Literally ate them. There was hardly anything left of them. If any of you ladies reading this have ever had this kind of boot, you know how nice they are and how annoying it would be to have to replace one, much less two of them.
- He owns our beds. Every time my stepdad goes to crawl into bed at night or if he slightly moves during the, Banks growls at him. Just so that my parents can get a break from him, they have now opened up my room to him while I am at school. My mom sends me daily pictures showing me just how much he enjoys it.
- HE CAN OPEN DOORS. Some of you may thing I am joking. Sadly, I’m not. Some people think it is the coolest thing they have ever seen when a dog opens a door. Let me tell you… it’s not after a while. Especially when he doesn’t know how to actually shut the door back. Winters are the worst.
- He has turned our stove on before. Yep. Actually turned the stove on. He jumped up onto our gas stove and accidentally somehow pushed the button and turned just the gas on. It was a great smell.
- He got kicked out of obedience school. He is apparently “un-trainable” (Wow, who knew?).
- He isn’t a guard dog. I was once attacked by a dog we previously owned, and instead of coming to my rescue, my dog just watched and then hid under my stepdad’s desk instead.
- He eats all of our food. We have learned that if you don't want Banks to eat it, you either hide your food, stick in on the very back edge of the counter, or you put it back in the fridge. Other wise, he will eat your entire dinner. I cannot tell you how many times one of us has had a bowl of spaghetti out and have come into the kitchen to see that he has eaten the entire thing
- Despite all of these things and the countless times we have threatened to “take him to a farm”, we could never bear to give that dog away. He is our constant source of laughter on a bad day and I cannot imagine my life without him. He is part of the family and always will be.
