Atlas gets in trouble

When Tom is deployed overseas is dog Atlas came to live with us. Is very well-behaved other than barking at things that aren't there. He also like to chew on paper especially paper plates even if they don't have food residue. A couple of times he has gone into the garbage that we use for my things. Once the kitchen garbage was left open and he got into it. Saturday night was over the top though. We went to a concert and left him all alone for a few hours. Apparently the kitchen garbage cabinet door was left open. He not only got into my garbage can but the kitchen as well. He spread paper garbage from one end of the house to the other. It was even in the hall and our bedroom. The concert ran later than my wife thought it would be. She was already on edge because she needed to help get ready for the next days retirement open house for one of her sisters. We come home to a huge mess. Before we sought though she had let Atlas out to do his business. Then she came in the living room and saw the mess. She stared at it and then asked me who I thought did it. I thought she was getting and said "really? You don't know who did it?" And then seriously she said "it might've been the cats" I started laughing so hard I ended up choking. She said "they could have done it, one of them chewed through a food bag one day" I started laughing again they kept checking about this all night and the next day. Then she said I'll figure it out real quick and she let Atlas back in. She went to the middle of the living room and asked him who did this? He laid down on the stomach and would not going to living room. He put his head between his paws. She insisted he come over and kept calling them and saying who did this? When he gets in trouble and get scolded he just closes his eyes, like a little kid thinking if I can't see them they can't see me. It's kept scolding him the rest of the night. Is a very sensitive dog and this is serious to be scolded by her and rarely happens. Me he ignores when I scolded him but when she does it is very upset. By the time she came to bed she had forgiven him and patted his head and he knew everything was okay.
I still chuckle imagining the cats doing this and framing the dog. Just to this even more entertaining was both cats were in the living room end of the house. It seemed like they knew Atlas was going to get in trouble and they didn't want to miss it. Slim was behind the couch and he had to get up on his back and and stretch to see over the couch to watch the dog in trouble. He seemed quite entertained by this. Cats are kind of jerks. Then could look over the couch because he is a very long cat and has a very long neck. If he was not so long he would have missed the fun. I am still entertained by the idea that she thought might have done it. Cats would not of done it because would've taken to which effort to drag it all over the house. Can't do not that enterprising. I'm not saying they are lazy but I may be had to get.
