Heading off to work and leaving your beloved pets alone at home must be tough for any pet parent.

Luckily, thanks to advancements in technology, you can keep an eye on your furry children and see what they’re up to while you’re away.

Especially, if your furry kids are known for causing a bit of havoc around the house.

Well, that’s exactly why Carly, a pet mom of three, decided to install an indoor camera in her living room.

She thought she would be able to watch her pets and maybe catch them red-handed; however, she failed hilariously.

Mercy Caught In The Act

Meet Mercy!

She is a one-year-old German Shepherd puppy that is experiencing something, which in human toddlers, is known as the “terrible twos”. 

If you didn’t know, puppies also go through a similar stage where they can be, let’s say, a bit challenging.

“She’s going through a terror phase,” Carly told Ring LLC, an Amazon owned home security and smart home company. “She’s eaten every single ornament she can reach on the tree and has proceeded to go after picture frames!”

So, Carly and her husband decided to set up a Ring Indoor Cam to keep an eye on Mercy.

They were hoping to catch her in the act and scold her for her destructive behavior. If you don’t know, the Ring camera also has a mic, so Carly is able to talk with Mercy anytime she catches her chewing something. 

Well, everything was going perfectly until Mercy’s feline sisters decided to get involved.

A Hilarious Cover-Up

When Carly saw Mercy chewing on the picture frame, she quickly called her name and told her, “put that down!”

Mercy immediately stopped chewing and perked her ears at the sound of her mom. She looked directly at the camera, but was very confused since her mom was not in front of her. 

She didn’t drop the frame, though.

“Mercy, drop that!”, Carly continued to say.
