Decoys

The other morning, I was in the shower.  G$ had already left for work.  And I hear the jingle of Kairo’s collar, which from the sound of the jingle, I could tell he was running, which probably meant he got into something he shouldn’t have like a shoe or a sock.  After getting out of the shower, I immediately see this:

I walk out of the bathroom and see this:

And follow the trail of toilet paper to this:

Yes, our dog has a TP fetish!  Not just TP, but any kind of paper he can get his little mouth on, he will.  He will seek our paper in the hallways or outside that a normal person wouldn’t look twice at (or even once for that matter).  

This isn’t the first time we’ve had this little issue happen.  It was so frequent that I had the brilliant idea of putting a TP roll decoy on the holder – which was just the very end of a roll, that I dangled a few inches of TP off and then coated it with a nice layer of bitter apple to deter him from going for it.  We went weeks, weeks I tell you, without even an attempt at the decoy.  I got frustrated having the real TP just sitting on the sink counter and figured it had been so long since Kairo made an attempt, it was finally time to put the real TP back on the holder.  Wrong.  The following morning, Kairo must have sensed, “Oooo a new fresh roll of TP that I can run with!  So I will!” and took off with the one end in his mouth.  Over half a roll of TP wasted.

Although, he can be a devil from time to time – he’s such a cutie that it’s difficult to stay upset with him. 

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

P.S. Forgive the clutter!  See KLars – it’s not always as clean as it was on Tuesday! :)
