Addictions

In one of my favorite movies, Uncle Buck, Buck proudly tells his sister-in-law that he quit smoking cigarettes.  He then goes on to tell her his long-term goals. He says, "I'm on to cigars now. I'm on to a five-year plan. I eliminated cigarettes, then I go to cigars, then I go to pipes, then I go to chewing tobacco, then I'm on to that nicotine gum."

 Wiley has addictions too, and toilet paper is a big problem. In fact, all tissue-like materials are an issue. Last winter I had a cold, and set a box of tissues on the back of the couch. I went to the kitchen, and when I returned Wiley was standing on the couch pulling out and eating one tissue at a time, unabashedly. 



<------This is the face of addiction.

 These are just a few snapshots of his escapades with paper products. As you can see, he is not the least bit contrite in these two pictures.

     My husband and I have abandoned the notion of keeping the toilet paper on the toilet paper holder (is that the actual name of it? I'm drawing a blank here). We do our best to keep it out of Wiley's reach, but there are some days when he is just a step ahead of us. After all, while we are out working, he is home resting. That way he's up for any kind of challenge when we get home.
