...you arrive home from a short Costco run to find dirt all over the floor and an uprooted plant. Bah!

Just to clear that up......LOL!

Ah, these little rascals. I love the Mollster to death, but I still don't trust her 100%. In the crate she goes when we are out, no matter how fast a trip.

Sorry you had to clean up all that dirt! :crybaby:

growing up we had Boston terriers. Well the first one, Harold my family made the mistake of leaving him in the basement while they left the house. When they came back he ate a tree. yes, a tree. there was nothing left only the pot with dirt. He ate the tree the leaves and then he proceeded to eat some of the dry wall. LOL I have a photo of it ...I have to uploaded later. crazy terriers!

Because Benny is too lazy to do anything and this is not the first time Kimmy has dug up a plant. She used to try to dig all the time. One time we had the dogs confined to the patio while we worked in the yard. There were several potted plants on the patio and the dogs were lounging in front of one of the pots. Or so we thought. We came back up to check on them and they were both in the same spots we left them in except Benny was covered in dirt. It turns out Kimmy was digging in the pot and the dirt was flying right on top of Benny, who didn't care enough to move.

Pegi loves to eat one of our indoor plants too. When she was a baby we put it in a larger clay pot; now that she's 18 lbs. she gets in it again! Looks like it's going outside for the summer (when we ever get summer in Mass).

Ya know, we trust Gus for a couple of hours alone now but we're pretty picky about when that is. They are just SO sneaky! :twisted:

Nikki, Harold looks absolutely angelic :innocent: considering what just transpired! LOL Looks something like the look Gus gives me when he's been caught red-pawed..... What? :whistle:

Oh Angie! Sounds like you have one at each end of the spectrum! At least hopefully they balance each other out??? I'd think I'd find a sturdier baby gate...lol
