no baking product is safe!!!!

Well last night Pip gave me quite a fright. Mike was out at the laundromat. (We still don't have a washer and dryer). I was sitting on the couch intently watching the news about the forest fire. Pip was sitting next to me quietly chewing on what I THOUGHT was one of his toys. The news breaks for commercial, I turn to look at Pip and there is white powder ALL OVER HIM, THE PILLOW, AND THE COUCH!!!! He had somehow snuck a can of baking powder in from the kitchen counter and had managed to open it and get it all over!!!

Now normally I would have just cleaned it up, but I was so upset over the fire all I could do was stand and stare at him and the mess he had made, trying not to burst into tears. I finally pulled myself together, grabbed the can away from him and took out the dirt devil. I did take some pics of the mess before it got vacuumed up, I'll upload them tonight!!!

Most of it did come out really well with the vacuum, except for a small area that got wet from him licking it. That I'll have to take upholstery cleaner to that I think.

He doesn't seem to be feeling ill from ingesting some of the baking powder... I've been watching him. :roll:

What a total goober!!! how does he find this stuff????? The kitchen wasn't even ungated for more then about 5 minutes last night!

you definately have a mischeif maker :D
Im sorry if you didnt find it too funny, but it did make me smile first thing this morning!
:D 8O Did it absorb some of the odors??? :D
I couldn't helpp but put a different slant to this incident!

Consider yoruself lucky that he brings the stuff over to you for enjoyment, and doesn't hide in anther room where you would not see him.

This means that he is not afraid of being punished, which is a good thing! So when this happens you can just nonchalently take "whatver" from him, no big deal.

What a great boy!
No fear! Yup that's ma' boy!!!! Wish I'd been a little bit faster on the uptake, realizing what he had!!! Thank goodness it wasn't something that was dangerous, he grabs everything!!! Even things you'd never think about.

Still.... baking powder covered sheepdog... kinda funny!
You gotta wonder "why baking powder???"
Absolutely!!! What a goof. Once I took it away from him and put it on the dining room table to clean up the mess, he tried to steal it AGAIN! What could possibly be that interesting about baking powder???
Awe - wait until he gets taller - maybe he'll open your cubbards!!
How much taller does he need to be???? :lol: He's already tall enough to countersurf (Thus the stealing of the baking powder), and reach the lower shelves in the butler's pantry.

Naughty Boo!
Ooooohhhhh what a little furry ball of trouble!

:lol:
Can't wait until London is big enough to reach counter height for surfing. If I am lucky I may have 1 pair of shoes left to wear by then. :roll:

I can only imagine what he looked like. :lol:
Couldn't be too bad if you had enough sense of humor to take some pictures. I think he was trying to tell you something: "Hay Ma, how bout some homemade cookies."
Aha! Maybe he wants to take the place of your butler!
A sheepdog butler... :lmt:

"Good morning madam... may I take you coat, allow me to announce you to the family" :lmt:

Well he is an ENGLISH sheepdog after all.
Baking powder! I'm glad Belle hasn't tried that one yet.

She stole a bag of cumin off the counter the other day, but thank goodness she didn't get it open before I caught her! I think she has a kleptomania problem. She often steals things of the counter but then just carries them around or leaves them sitting in odd places. I don't think she chews on them at all. And she always looks so ashamed when I find the items or catch her in the act. I don't even have to say anything.
you haven't taken the hint yet..........it's time to have another tea and bake all those delicious items. yea gads, mom!
LOL! Did it vacuum up easily?

Noodle has not learned that he can take things off the counter but his favorite chewie are the boys STINKY, wet from camp, tennis shoes :evil: He likes to undo the velcro but doesn't destroy them!

Lark
Now there's a tasty chew!! LOL!
