Barbie's Revenge - The stereo remote meets a gristly end

OK, so some of the commenters on my last post suggested that Barbie should get revenge on me for posting a picture of her with a stuffy on her head.

Well I am pretty sure she has been reading the blog and may have gotten some ideas, so I came home from work on Thursday to find that she had been working her evil.


Now I have to get off the couch to make any adjustments to the sound system which is connected to the TV, and I can't leave the remotes on the coffee table where they used to live either!

Who said that grown up greyhounds are not destructive?

To be fair to Barbie, N had been home for a couple of weeks, and then went away for work again. The dogs were used to her being around, but for the 5 days she was away I came home to some new destruction every evening. The remote was most concerning because of the batteries, which she definitely had a munch at, but also because of the replacement cost of the thing. I haven't even had the heart to see what a new one is going to cost.

I also came home to a ripped up mobile phone bill (eh...), ripped up magazine, and they stole a packet of baby spinach leaves I had left out on the kitchen bench and spread thoughout the house. They also destroyed a stuffie in about 5 minutes right in front of me on Thursday night.

Dogs, who would have 'em?

Good thing they are adorable.

LOL! Sounds like they have been busy. I'm glad she didn't break into the batteries. Maybe they are saying that they want one of you to get an at home job. ;-)
I'd hide the rest of your valuables for the next few days! lol It sounds like they are definitely unhappy with the change in routine. Maybe it's time to crack out the big guns and try some bribery. I bet a lot could be forgiven for a steak dinner!
There were probably evil spirits lurking in those objects and the dogs managed to protect you from them.

Humans sometimes show so little gratitude.

Oh, they've still got a long way to go to catch up with Frankie, 3 mobile phones, 2 or 3 remotes (I've lost count) many stuffies, a land line phone and other miscellaneous things that I don't remember. Nothing recently though, I've finally learned to keep stuff out of reach:) I hope! Apart from chewing the end of my expensive glasses, Beryl hasn't destroyed anything of value, or danger ... yet. But she has the benefit of Frankie's training of me.

Yes, does sound like payback time! They know!
Blimey! I ate a box of teabags the other day, but I think you've beaten me paws down. Hehe! Deccy x
