Judi: Your house sounds like mine! I have bricks lined up underneath my dishwasher so the kids can't get under there. In the old days, before I started ferret-proofing, I bought a new dishwasher. When they took the old one out, boy was I embarrassed!! There was a sneaker, dog bone, pizza crust, a spatula, empty pop can, and a Dorito behind it!! The delivery men looked at me!! Now I have 2 x 4's around and behind the fridge and stove, the waste basket sits on a box 6 inches off the ground, bricks under the dishwasher, sneakers on top of the VCR so they can't drag them off and hide them somewhere, dryer hose tubing in the living room and dining room, all kinds of little stuffed animals here, there, and everywhere, and some cabinet doors tied shut. You'd think a house full of human kids lived here, but I'm the only human in the house! Splash has even figured out how to get on top of the table where the computer is. This AM I found him swinging on the keyboard. So tell me.......just WHO is training WHO????? Debbie Riccio WNYFLFA [Posted in FML issue 1156]
