to go and get the baby gate at Target. Like I would ever really pass up a chance to go to Target and browse... But, no - I was really trying to get the last of the stuff out of the old office today and I decided that I could get the gate tomorrow. Coulda, shoulda, woulda - story of my life. In my infinite wisdom, I had foolishly affixed the handle of Aggie's leash to the knob on the printer cabinet door on my lovely desk. This temporary fix was working quite well to keep my overly-friendly little cairn from mauling my clients - until today. Ariela and Marco were carrying boxes inside this afternoon and Aggie saw the open door and ripped the cabinet door open and would have pulled it off the hinges if I hadn't grabbed her by the collar and leash. As it is, she demolished the door by pulling the hinge side off the center panel - and the desk is solid oak! Not a pretty sight. Fortunately, I have clients in the furniture repair business and I am confident that they can make my desk as good as new. I am definitely going to Target first thing in the morning.
oops. Well isn't it always like that. Or it seems like it's always like that. If it makes you feel better I spent 30 minutes wrapping a tree in hot wire to prevent further gnawing by a large cloven equine who I knew had the potential to cause major damage to said tree. Hindsight is always 20/20.
ReplyDeleteAggie!! Bad girl, bad dog. Is she out of the doghouse now?
