Home alone pets... A few weeks ago, Yahoo did a link to the website of Ellen Degeneres. She had a story on people who went away (probably for the Labor Day weekend) only to find the family pet(s) tore up the house! Funny, yet sad that your most trusted pet (I say that loosely) decides to throw a fit because you were gone. 你去一次旅行。 你的宠物在家。 单独。 宠物(通常是一条狗) 忿怒并且嚼皮家俱。 This happened to me in the 80's when my wife & I had gone out to a party after work. When we returned home (a few hours later), our two young dogs had dragged all the leather shoes into the middle of the living room floor and were in the processing of chewing them to bits. They knew they did wrong because of the 'leopard crawl' when I called their names. You little bastard also came out of my mouth... how appropriate. Dogs are like that! I did a home office for a customer who owned a Standard Poodle. For some unknown reason, there were marks in the countertop that the customer claimed were defects in the workmanship. They refused to pay the final bill and we involved getting the contractor to negotiate for us. As the story goes, all the furniture was built-in and not practical to remove to repaint the top. So, we opted to paint (clear topcoat) with all the furniture in-place. We were putting up plastic and tape getting ready to do the work and someone let the poodle out from the back bedroom. The ran into the home office and was jumping from counter to counter looking out the windows to see if their owner was coming home. We convinced the owner it was caused by their and not us. The contractor suggested they put a glass top on the countertop to protect it. They did and that was the end of that episode. |

My dogs stay in all day, they don't mess with anything, generally they don't even eat their food during the day. I'm amazed they can wait 9 hrs to go do their nature business.

It's a shame I cannot post a link here. The article showed photos of pets and the destruction they caused. A torn-up sofa with the stuffing in piles and the dogs are sitting on it... as though it was a game to them. My favorite was the photo of a dog who opened the refrigerator door and was on his hind legs leaning inside looking for food.
