Re: Where'd everyone go?

  • Here you go, this is what kept me entertained when I went home for lunch (i.e. this is what I found):

  • rach - what is that?????

    rach - what is that?????

    That is a combination of protein powder, quinoa, pasta and rice with a side of ziploc baggies. Brucie escaped his crate and got into the pantry, and decided to rid me of all my carbs!

    omg!!!  maybe he's trying to tell you to go atkins?

  • Once again I'm so thankful that we decided to crate our dog. The worst the cat ever does is bat the milk carton tops around.

     ETA: He looks so innocent sitting on the other side of the gate, too!

  • Oh my god Rach! That is nuts!

     

    I am sure he had your best interest at heart.

    WE DO CRATE OUR DOG!!!!!!!!!!! This is the result of an escape!!

    @ Allie -- yes we have been on the South Beach Diet since January and I'm certain he was just trying to help us out, but there could have been a cleaner way, don't you think??

  • Ahahaha! That's too funny! How did he escape his crate? (And I am praying right now that my dog is too stupid to figure this out)

    We're still not really sure. He actually unlatches the door, but I don't know how. We put the babygate up so once he escapes he can't get out of the kitchen and destroy the whole house, but I guess he can open the pantry too!

  • Yikes Rach!  I thought our incidents were bad.  I'd be SOO pissed if I came home to that!

    Have you tried the bungee cord trick yet?  Worked when Sam escaped our crate.

  • Oh my!! Your vacuum is going to get quite the work out!!
  • That's insane. I would never guess that a dog could unlatch a crate door. I hope he made up for his mess with tail wagging and doggy kisses.

  • Sorry it's such a mess Rachel :(  That's a bummer to clean up!!!

  • Oh no!!! When I got home from work one day last week, my bouncy, happy little black dog met me at the back door...only problem was, when we left to go to work, his majesty was in his CRATE! We still haven't figured out how Houdini did it, but the worst of his damage was chewing up two bottles of Nasal spray that were on the lamp table in the family room (which is actually where we hang out, so he probably just got up on the sofa and watched tv until we came home!).

    He didn't eat a lot of it, because I'm guessing that it was so nasty tasting, it taught him a nice little lesson! Apparently Bruce has more discerning tastes :-))

    I haven't because I was putting it off and then he had been good, so I thought he was over it! Clearly I have learned my lesson. I think we're going to get a lock, though, as I fear he may chew through bungee cords. Little monster.

    Is his mouth small enough to get between the crate holes?  Maybe you need to invest in one of these crates

    We actually have one of those, but he gets really spazzy and hates the confined-ness of it. I know some dogs like the den-like way those crates are, but Bruce goes NUTS. He does better w/ the wire crate since he can see the tv and let the sun shine on him. Just need to get that bad boy LOCKED the F DOWN!!

  • Okay...when I first saw that picture, I thought home renovation gone bad...but then after you said what it was, I looked closer and could see it. Oh my lord...I shouldn't be laughing this hard!! I probably wouldn't be if I didn't feel your pain. Maggie isn't penned up at all, and she does pretty well (like, if she HAS to pee because we didn't get to her in 6 or more hours, she knows to do it on the hard wood, not the carpet, but even that is extremely rare for her to do). Except..my dog is a glutton. No seriously. She has eaten (of course, all on seperate occassions): 1 stick of butter (twice actually), eight cupcakes, 3 lb of SOLID turkey breast, 10 snickerdoodles, and her most recent feat - 6 soft shell tortillas. Mind you, this dog weighs 9 pounds!!!!! She got sick off of everything except the turkey. We cannot leave anything on any tables or anywhere you could conceive of her getting to...including the second stick of butter was on the countertop right after we moved in to our new house, and there were boxes she could climb up on from moving...Of course, this included 8 piles of butter/grease soaked pukeness in our new house. I could have killed her. On a seperate occassion she dragged an entire bag of pretzels upstairs (two sets of stairs), then openned them, and decided she didn't want any...ugh...

  • OMG!  How the H-word did he get out?  I know it's not funny but I can't help but crack up at how animals manage to figure out how to unlatch gates and what not....and here we thought they weren't as intelligent as humans....
