The bed adjuster!!!
   Yep never done this before but becoming a habit while living at mums place, he goes in, jumps on our bed while we are out somewhere, I get home, pillows, doonas, blankets heck everything pawed off the bed while the king makes himself comfortable on just the mattress. I dont mind the giant marshmellow getting up on the bed but this new thing of pawing everything off the bed while we are OUT to come home to that is annoying Any info on how to stop this or do I have to put up with it or maybe a baby gate on the sliding door which the marshmellow brain has worked out after nearly 12 months here how toooooooooo that if I put pressure on it I can walk it open !!!   A new behaviour for the oompa loompa especially with our temporary bedroom, does not pick on any other room   So annoying when I come home    |

  I know this behavior - yepp! No good advice, sorry! Lock the door.....  |
| I wish I could help, but I have no advise. China likes to "fluff up" everything even while I'm laying in bed and have to hang on to the blankets so she won't pull them off. She's not a good bed mate. Violet will climb in the bed and push the blankets off on her dad's side so she can lay down. Now, due to the fact my hubby works nights, there is usually someone in the bed besides the dogs. lol |
| Sorry, Lisa- no suggestions here either, but will be following to see if anything genius is suggested. Multiple dedicated break-in artists here. Every time I think I have them foiled, nope, they figure out a way to get past my efforts, Never mind trying to keep them away from the cat food and litter box I've been meaning to ask how others manage that one. Drives me nuts. (Dawn - tried your bin cut-out suggestion and it was a good one but they found ways around that too) The gates they don't jump. they move. They can open doors, sliding and otherwirse. Nothing short of the top of the fridge is safe. and I refuse to have a litter box sitting up there, ugh.They also remake the bed to their liking, but haven't taken to stripping it to the mattress yet at least .

| We have a small "latch" on the sliding screen door of our french door in the living room that goes out onto the deck. Jim added it a few yeras ago so people wouldn't track in dirt across my light livingroom carpet from the deck to the bathroom. It's about 3" long & you attach it vertically to the top of the sliding door frame. when you push it up, it locks the screen in place so it doesn't move. Very simple & inexpensive. |
| I'm thinking it's just a good thing he does it to your bed, not your MOM'S!!! |
| I have no suggestions, but what the heck is a doona??? You Aussies have some wild names for stuff! |
| It's a Duvet I think! Maybe he is checking the unfamilar bed for snakes, spiders or other bitey things, most safe when it's a clear zone  |
| I suppose the same thing as a Duvet, see that sounds strange to me paula, doona here Glad its not mums bed or I think we would of been evicted Now the latch thing sounds like it might be the go for the sliding door to the hallway, baby gates he just head butts open so yes I have a couple here now packed away in the shed as was useless with 40 kg of ramming oompa loompa |
I admit that I laughed.  Meesha has a tendency to make a nest on Jim's side of the bed... Jim get's mad at her.  Sorry to ruin your fun Syd but here are some different sliding door latches/locks- http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/catalog ... SEARCH+ALL You might just put board (like a 1x2 or 2x2 cut to the track length) in the track of the door when you're away if it's a patio-type door like over here. |
| That's been Clyde's move for years. If he gets in the bed with us, he'll even try to do it. He gets such a look of determination in his eyes, too, like it's his JOB to clear the bed of all blankets and pillows. He does the same thing on the couch, again, even if we're using the pillow. He's very rude. |
| Pooh Bear always rearranged our bed. I would come home at lunch time finding the bed messed up and Pooh laying on the basement floor, like "it wasn't me!" Our covers near our pillows were always pulled back, like Pooh was looking for us under the covers. Angus is on our bed most to the day while we are at work, but hasn't done anything to the covers besides laying on top of them. Sometimes I can't get the bed made in the morning because he takes up most of the bed after we get up and he won't move since he's sleeping. So, when I get home for lunch I rush into the bedroom and make the bed before he jumps on again! |
| Oh Lisa, feel for ya!! It takes me half a dayj chasing the 2 hellions back at different times to retrieve pillow cases or an actual sheet at times. Then to keep them from rolling on their backs on the ged.......well you see what i mean? You have my sympathy!!! |
got sheep wrote: I'm thinking it's just a good thing he does it to your bed, not your MOM'S!!! I was thinking the same thing! For a temporary fix to the door, although not an attractive one, I found some two sided velcro tape that you can tape to hold a door shut. It really is an ugly solution, but you are only there temporarily. And, I confess, I too giggled a bit when I read this. |
Trouble is we are putting this place on the market soon to be sold  I looked at the bolts for the hall way sliding door and just wont be suitable. The door slides into the wall area, not like an outside sliding door. The baby gate was useless with the big oompa loompa, looks like when this house goes on the market, re-adjusting making the bed look nice, taking a drive in the car with all 3 while viewing is underway, thank goodness a doorway to the other end of the house where mum sleeps or we would be doing all the beds when it comes to viewing for sale time, or we would of been evicted a long time ago with the bed hopper!! I do laugh but my mum is not impressed with the giant marshmellow when we are out and get home and cant believe it has taken nearly 12 months for the giant marshmellow brain to work out WOO HOO she's out, pssst there all out, I can open this door and escape for escapades on mum and dads bed. TODAY, all covers and pillows off, wonder who that could of been !!!! Evidence also, his stringy ball left as part of a nest on the upturned bed I do love my giant squishy marshmellow and do laugh at him BUT.................................................. Others like the mother of me, not impressed. Oh and babette is the dog police here, bark bark bark, syd is not doing what he is suppose to be doing. She certainly lets us know, I am sure she was born with a Halo and love her dearly too, even though she is a dobber!!!!!  |
guess babette's name should be at least on occasion blabbette.  |
| Tiggy and Syd are definitely related. Tiggy loves to get on the bed and scratch it up too. So far the doona stays in place but not the pillows or any clothes that may have been left on the end of the bed. Luckily the baby gate stops Madam. Be glad that Syd didn't discover Tiggy's method of opening sliding doors. She donkey kicks them open  Luckily it only works on the screen doors as they're light enough so she can't escape but first the screen that was ripped by Rastus pawing to get out, then stretched by Madam sleeping against it and now it's been half kicked out of the frame by the hairy donkey. |
This was the other day when we got home, winter and sound asleep, cold outside baby, hence at least an intacked bed !!! No greeties with the others at the door, sound asleep and yes he does snore like DH.  |
