    For Bridget

    I thought of Bridget and Daisy immediatly when I read this
    Raiding The Trash Can

    Nearly all puppies and most adult dogs will get into
    the
    trashcan if they possibly can. The enticement of all
    those
    aromas is overwhelming. Expecting your dog to not
    investigate the source of these smells is not
    realistic.
    The facts that you don't smell anything and you
    don't want
    to clean up the mess is not sufficient incentive to
    deter
    your dog from hours of fun and discovery, especially
    if
    there's nothing else to do. In addition to the
    annoyance of
    having to clean up the mess, there are dangers.
    Paper
    towels used for microwaving bacon will be saturated
    with
    bacon grease and will likely be eaten. Paper plates
    and
    disposable containers used in the microwave may be
    eaten as
    well. There may be toxic things stuck to these
    irresistible
    items that the dog wouldn't normally eat, like
    cigarette
    ashes or coffee grounds. Did you know that fabric
    softener
    sheets are toxic to dogs and that they will eat
    them?

    Solution: Never give your dog the opportunity to get
    into
    the trash. The honor system does not apply. You'll
    never
    know what he ate. In addition to toxic dangers,
    there's
    also the danger of ingesting things that will not
    pass
    through his system and may require surgical removal.
    Hide
    your trash container in a cabinet or pantry where
    the dog
    can't get to it.

    good luck
