For the Pet-Lovers: NBR

You have to check out this beagle. If Scout figured out how to do that, we would be screwed!

  • I showed this video to A.  I have always wondered what my Beagle does while we're away.

  • I love it! 
    I've learned that nowhere is safe in my house. I have seen Lily jump onto the counter and onto my Dining Rm table so I can only imagine what she does when we're not watching. I always make sure that my bathroom door latches shut but DH comes home and she has somehow shredded the tissues in the bathroom garbage... I think I need to set up a camera of my own.

  • Pumpkin nearly got away with stealing a slice of pizza from me last night.

  • I'm so glad my cat isn't interested in people food.....or she's at least really good at fooling us into thinking she's not interested.

    "People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."

  • Booney used to open all my cabinets and help himself to whatever he wanted.  Back in my old condo I came home one day to a box of Lucky Charms scattered throughout the house (with 90% of the marshmallows missing).  The damn cat managed to somehow open the cabinet above my kitchen sink, pull the box down and get it open so he could eat all the marshmallows.  

    Same cat also had a thing for opening all my closets and eating all my shoelaces.  

    I tried kitty-proofing the house by putting those baby locks on things but the cabinets would still open just enough for him to sneak in and help himself.  I finally had to give up and put chairs in front of all my cabinets.  Not very pretty to look at but it kept him out.  

    This is also the cat who decided that on the day we moved into our new house that he was going to open the cabinet doors that are on the side of the jacuzzi tub that lead to the plumbing and crawl through the hole in the plumbing and get lost in the walls of the house ON THE FLIPPING DAY WE MOVED IN.  I was a basket case.  He stayed lost in the walls of the house for 24 hours with me freaking out thinking that he was going to die in there and I was going to have to live in a house with my dead cat in the walls.

    I'm sorry but this is hilarious! I would have been freaking out too, but I can just imagine you trying to move (which is stressful enough) and try to get your cat out from the walls.

  • I hope my dogs never learn to do that! I am amazed at how high Cinna can jump though. And how she can catch dropped food in mid air!

  • It is crazy how good some dogs are at problem solving! Unfortunately, mine is tall enough to reach the back of the counter so no food sitting out is safe.
