Everything was fine until I got a dog. My dog loves to eat/chew tissues, cotton balls, and Q-tips. I would come into the room and find bits of cotton-looking stuff all over the floor. It looked almost like snow. So, I solved that problem by getting a small wastebasket with a lid that you have to step on a little pedal to raise the lid. Problem solved. Well....no. My clever dog figured out how to press the pedal to raise the lid. I was in the den one night and I heard a thump coming from my bedroom. Curiously, I went in there. There was Lucie, happily chewing tissues from the wastebasket. OK...next...I turned the wastebasket around so that the pedal is facing the corner formed by the dresser and the wall. No way she can get it now. The pedal is sorta hidden too close to the wall to get a paw in there. Problem solved. Nope...I still hear the "thump" of the wastebasket lid and I know Lucie is at it again. I'm not sure if she's pressing the pedal to open the lid or if she's prying the lid open with her mouth or paw. Of course she won't do it when I'm looking so I might have to install security cameras. But, I've just accepted that I might have some tissues and cotton balls on the floor....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
