Good rehab program needed

My Dad is driving in today to spend Thanksgiving with the hairy kids and me. In his honor, well, mostly to try to cover up the skid marks (!!) the youngest generation have left on the coffee table, I was polishing it this morning with some orange-smelling oil/polish. Nothing around here gets done without the resident hairball (or should that be dirtball?) inspectors in tow.

No sooner had I finished when Che decided he had to "taste test" my efforts. He's licking the table. YUK! Well, if he does it, it MUST be good, so his idiot sisters decide THEY have to taste test. They at least had the smarts <?> to figure out that it wasn't really edible (a relative term in the goat's book to begin with), so stopped. But he's just standing there with a strange look on his face, lick-lick-lick...

I called them off and gated them in the kitchen while I read the ingredients (evidently not deathly toxic, but do I really want my dogs ingesting something that I should keep away from heat and open flames???), wondering if there is such a thing as "Betty Ford" for the four-legged set? :roll:

Oh Che, you crazy boy! I fear your sisters have corrupted you beyond hope. :lol:

Chewie is a licker too, but limits himself to living objects. Like us, the cat, the sheep....... :lol: (Yes he really licks the sheep. Maybe he is developing some new herding style!)

Have a good time with the hairy kids and your dad, this sounds like it will be interesting. 8O :lol: :lol: :lol:
I can't help but laugh at the mental image of the dogs standing around the coffee table LICKING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol:
It's hard to say who is corrupting whom at this point...

Having read the frantic forum thread on the naughty puppy-scratching-new-kitchen-table, evidently, he has since taken to regularly sleeping on mine. They all sleep on tables (does Chewie do this?). Mace sleeps on the grooming table, Sybil sleeps on the coffee table and now Che on the kitchen table (I eat at my desk at this point - yes, the inmates are running the asylum). They all have to have perches. I'm thinking of having something like an over-sized "cat tree" designed so I can have my darn tables back!

The hard part will be explaining this to my Dad. Mind you, it's his fault I have dogs. It's DEFINITELY his fault I have OES (long story). And he and my mom have always been wonderful when my hairy crew comes home to visit. (Of course, Belle, the perfect dog, Mad, Liz, what's to mind?). Last December I brought Mace and Sybil with me for the first time. They were 8 months old. At the end of my visit, my father solemnly told me that everyone else was definitely welcome back, but that Sybil would have to apply for a visa first. :oops:

He hasn't even met Che yet :lol: :lol:

No, Chewie is definitely a 4-on-the-floor kind of guy. He doesn't like the furniture, beds, the seats in the vehicle.
At hotels he only jumps on the bed in the morning to wake me up - licks my face, then turns and sits on me! Then he hops down and wiggles.

The coffee table is kind of hidden between the end of the loveseat and a chair, so nobody sits on it (Maggie tried, but now she stays off).

Ollie was a percher, but he limited it to when he was outside - the wooden bench in the yard, Todd's pickup box, the picnic table occasionally.

Both go for laying in good central location, with a good view to supervise everything. Typical sheepdog trait ! :D

LOL I would like a "live"web cam installed at your house so I can watch the mayhem - I know your dogs would keep me vastly entertained

Harry wants Sybil to know that she is always welcome at his house. His mommy likes "naughty" sheepies!
I second the request for a live webcam at Mad Dog's house :lol: :lol: :lol:

Let's see. How to put this politely... :lmt:

NO!

My mother would have to change her name, move out of state, probably enter a witness protection program so as not to be associated with having raised someone who lives in a menagerie....

I can't do that to her. :lol: :lol:

Sybil already has this thing for Harry. I saw her watching him at the National! :pupeyes: :kiss:

Methinks we're going to have big problems in the future when they're running at the same trials... 8O
