Gamebird Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Sid sounds adorable and good fun. When Oliver (black Lab below in picture) was a young lad he used to nick stuff off the kitchen table. So I put metal baking plates around the edge of the table so that when he jumped up to get something they would come crashing down on the hard kitchen floor. They didn't hurt him but the noise gave him such a fright that he never jumped on the table again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tried that for Jazz as well.........the crash made her jump out of her skin...... and then she stopped and went "oooooh! I'll have this one, thank you......"

Gamebird Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Naughty girl Jazz Oliver is no shrinking violet, he will dive into the brambles in pursuit of a fox, is quite happy to stand right next to gunshot and starting pistols, fireworks no problem but a few noisy baking plates - now thats scary.

BeckyBoo Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Delilah had a dodgy stomach the other day, had no idea why until I couldn't find the 2lb lump of boiling bacon I'd taken out of the freezer to defrost - found the wrapper out on the grass Next day she helped herself to half a stuffed marrow which was supposed to be for tea and she has a bit of a "thing" for eggs. Carries a box out to the garden and eats the lot, box and all. In fact we've found whole eggs in the front room, presumably they're the ones she's saving for later I'm getting my own back though, she's off to the vets in a minute for her jabs - I bet the vet gets me to hold the sharp end though - 55kg of dog trying to get out of the surgery with me hanging on the end Mrs B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnieP Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 I have now fitted child locks on all of my kitchen cupboards after the incredible discovery that Sid can pull open the cupboards by getting the k"Ooops, word censored!"s in his teeth and pulling. They are really stiff and difficult to open... I have trouble, but he manages! Thursday evening upon my return I discovered that the little had taken out a giant vegetable oil bottle (full) from the cupboard under the sink, taken it into the living room, got the top off and made an indoor swimming oil pool. Lovely! Luckily I have a friend who cleans carpets for a living and he came round within half an hour to suck up the majority of it, but he needs to come back today and possibly again, to have another go, as the oil just penetrates back through. I think this is going to end up being a new carpet...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 made an indoor swimming oil pool. That is one friend you will be keeping close by if Sid keeps doing stuff like that . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnieP Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 Oh deep joy Annie! I never thought I'd hear you say that you have child-proof locks in your house Only ever had them on the outside of the front door before now Clare! Very funny today, as the only cupboards he has managed to open are the ones without locks: Dishwasher Washing machine Boiler and saucepans. I would have loved to have seen his cartoon style disappointed face after each opening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
