Oh my .... where to start?!?

Lacie is old and deaf and lays right in the middle of the hallway, usually when I'm trying to carry in groceries or something. She can't hear, so she doesn't move. She also crawls under the couch, bed or desk to sleep, and since she's black, she's hard to see. I don't see her, she doesn't hear me leave the room and close the gate .... about an hour later, after I'm asleep, she wakes up and realizes she's locked in .... and starts screaming and howling. *sigh*

Vanilla BARKS! And barks and barks and barks! Squirt bottles have an effect for approximately 12 seconds.

Wishbone liiiiicks, and liiiiiicks and liiiiiiicks his paws and front legs .... very slowly, and loudly. Sllllluuuuuurrrrrrppppp, Sllllluuuuuurrrrrrppppp, Sllllluuuuuurrrrrrppppp.

Pepper hides under the bed and won't leave the bedroom, then when I give up and leave, she gets back on the bed, under the covers and sleeps all day.

But the worst .... the worst! ... is Georgie, Jack and Wishbone marking in the house. Nothing is more irritating, frustrating or infuriating than finding a little puddle of pee along my baseboards!
