We’ve
been having problems with Bae getting into stuff on the kitchen counters when
we’re gone. (Where does an 85 pound dog go? Anywhere above about five feet.) That’s
why, for instance, the bread is now in an upper cupboard, and the cereal is on top of the cupboard. Our mutt loves wheat products, but he’s allergic to wheat. Kind of like how I love chocolate,
but I’m allergic to cholesterol.
Anything
on the counter has to be kept in sealed containers unless, of course, it’s
something dogs would never eat, like rice. Then, a few days ago, we got home to
find a bag of rice that looked like it had been attacked by a werewolf. It’s
flavored rice, but still—now that also had to go into a sealed container.
Yesterday
we arrived home to find Bae has learned how to open Tupperware.
The
results of him eating an entire container of uncooked rice should be punishment
enough … but by the time it gets to that, um, end, he’ll probably have no idea
why he’s having tummy troubles. I’m much more bothered by the fact that his
learning curve seems to be advancing faster than ours. By this time next week
he’ll wait until we leave, then walk to the store for donuts.
I
wonder if he knows where I keep my credit card?
Very clever!
ReplyDeleteTry putting rubber bands around the cupboard doors. It's an improvised sort of lock that should keep him at bay.
We've already got that one covered!
