My clever little man has figured out that if he RUNS towards the dining room (where the dog's food and water are currently held) he gets a reaction out of Sophie. Primarily, chasing and grrrrring. I say 'grrrrring' because if you know Sophie, it's not really a growl, but a small friendly warning.
Poor girl, she has been SOOOooooo patient when it comes to her food and water, but recently I guess she has hit her limit. It's a daily battle to keep Nolan from putting his fingers in the water and then in his mouth. 'Mmmm...wa'er.' I can't count how many times I have stopped him just short of eating her food. The real fun for him I think is tormenting the dog and being chased. Chris and I bought a stand alone dog gate to seperate the formal living room and the dining room because the space is too wide for a standard tension gate. Nolan can now get passed this as well, it's not very heavy and he just drags it enough that he and Sophie creep through...together no less. I have been on a mission yesterday and today to find something that I can attach to the bottom of this gate to make it more difficult to move. Currently there is a chair and a half sitting in front of the very expensive and now obsolete gate. Home Depot was useless. He said...'just put something heavy in front of it.'
No....really?!?! Geez I hadn't thought of that. I'm just a useless stay at home mom with no problem solving skills. If that were a permanent solution then I wouldn't be here now would I? I finally ended up at Wal-Mart, good 'ol Wal-Mart, they have things to fix jaloppy problems like mine. I have some super-sticky rug tape and I REALLY hope it works!
