THAT DOG!

You all that know me well, know we are still struggling with THAT DOG. He just insists on getting into something every day. He got David's bread and all the dog treats this week. I think I left the pantry door open while I was in the house but upstairs painting. Ooops! THAT DOG is rising to a new level of theivery while I am in the HOUSE! Yesterday, he finally discovered that those yellow things are actually bananas hanging under the cupboard. He's totally broken my undercounter can opener. And a month ago, he figured out the big silver thing was a trash can! It is now housed in the pantry behind the locked door.
Anyway, the cleaning people came yesterday so my house is nice and clean. I came home today and am thinking David just made a mess of the kitchen counters. I mean there were dirty finger prints all over the off-white counter. How many times do I have to tell him to wash his hands, right? Well, I started looking at them and they are not finger prints, they are PAW PRINTS! That varmit just runs up and down the kitchen counter while we are away! Grrrr! Anyone with any ideas on how to stop his rambuciousness? Besides the kennel which we are using more and more often.
