When we lived in the US, Chip had a partner in crime, Cricket. I wouldn’t say that they were partners in crime.... but I would say that they did cause trouble. Enough trouble that they were kenneled when we left them home alone.
So, when he arrived here, it was with reservation that I did not kennel him. He definitely has caused trouble. He figured out how to take advantage of the chairs not being pushed into the table and will jump up at any opportunity to check things out. He has even been known to jump up and poop on the table... Ewww, just ewwwww!
We had determined that he should not have full run of the house when we are not here, but as he proved he could not behave appropriately when given the opportunity, we quickly limited his area of freedom even smaller. He now has access to the kitchen, laundry room and another small room that used to be the kitchen long ago.
He has become a menace again! He has figured out that he can get on the small table in the kitchen and will gladly eat anything that the kids might leave behind. He has also figured out that the chair to my computer desk is also handy. He has been eating anything that remotely smells like food, which includes lotions and vitamins!
He has been very insistent that my expensive lotions are food. Recently he got into a bottle of cuticle oil, took off the top and managed to spill and consume most of the bottle. He managed to take off the lid of an expensive lotion that was made of seaweed extract. His latest was to get into a jar of Vaseline.
As you can see, he is looking a ‘bit’ shamed!
In particular he had me really worried twice. He has eaten both ibuprofen and vitamin D which are both toxic to dogs. Thankfully, in both cases, he did not have enough to make him seriously ill. I had to monitor him very closely though. But it really makes me wonder, does he really hate England that much or does he just have some kind of death wish?
