Ours have destroyed 2 sofas.
they start with a rip and a bit of the foam
(out comes the gaffer tape)
then they enlarge it.
(buy more gaffer tape, Arms of the sofa are mostly gaffer tape by now.)
Then they discover the wooden frame is nice to chew on.
(gaffer tape is pointless by now)
Well we were bored so we did the cushions as there's not much foam left on the arms.
(phew we still have some gaffer tape left)
Finished the cushions, rip up the fabric covering the springs.
(thanks guys just discovered where all the missing cutlery has gone to, down the sides and inside the sofa)
Time to get the chainsaw out hack up the threadbare wooden frame and take it down the tip.
Down to the Charity shop and purchase a cheap second hand sofa.
Repeat as often as necessary.
Duvets and pillows have gone in the bedrooms.
Finding the contents of the bin all over the floor and garden is a common occurrence.
(even after putting it up on the table or sides.)
We have child locks on all the cupboards AND fridge after coming home
to find the pantry door open and contents of a new 10kg sack of rice has been distributed all over the kitchen floor.
Another time finding the fridge door open and half the contents mysteriously missing.
Also the oven pans get a daily cleaning if we don't secure the oven.
(can't put child lock on that they melt with the heat!!)
In fact it seems the only safe place in the house to put stuff is on top of the fridge-freezer which is 6ft tall.
Fortunately the destruction seems to have stopped as they are all over 2 years old. (fingers crossed)
But they daily foraging when we go out is something we live with.
Ah. . . but you think why don't you crate them. . .????
genius. . . Why didn't we think of that ??.
Because we haven't found one that survives more than a couple of days.
We were looking at something built to house a Silverback mountain gorilla. . .
but it was out of our price range. . . sigh.
Living with Huskies.
We must be insane.
