When We Are Away....Grover Will Play!

So, up until we had Campbell we could go off and leave Grover at home alone with no problems...we didn't have to worry about him getting into anything or doing anything that we wouldn't approve of...but all of that has changed! And since all of that has changed we have had to change our exit strategies. We used to be able to let Grover out & then back in and tell him we would be back in a little while & head out the door. When we returned everything would be just as we had left it, no matter how much time had passed, but that is no longer the case.

The first incident occur ed on Wednesday evening, we headed over to my parents house on Wednesday night for the annual Vegetable Beef Soup dinner with my Uncle & Aunt. We were only gone about 2 1/2 hours which used to be nothing for Grover, but like I said that was way before Campbell. When we arrived home Brian was the first one in the house & as I am walking up the stairs in the garage I hear him say "oh no, what have you done" my immediate thought was that he had destroyed the sofa or Campbell's bouncy seat, which would have been way worse than what he did. Grover decided it would be a great idea to eat & i mean eat an entire bag of dirty diapers & leave little pieces of diapers all over the family room. I was completely grossed out by this & I still am and I will not let Grover lick me, Campbell or anything that belongs to either of us.

Then on Thursday, we headed off to my parents for Thanksgiving & we left in a bit of a hurry...leaving on time with a baby just doesn't happen, but I will get better! So we left with me yelling at Brian to get the plastic bag with diapers & he accidentally picked up the bag with new Christmas ornaments in it & he tossed those in the trash, leaving the dirty diapers for Grover to devour again! Oh JOY! So, we have learned our lessons and will no longer be leaving diapers in bags b/c Grover eats them & we also learned that Campbell's dirty clothes must be put in the bottom of her closet b/c he also likes to dig around in her hamper...luckily he didn't eat any of her stuff b/c I might have killed him!

So, quick recap...don't leave diapers & Campbell's clothing out or else you will have to clean up after a dirty dog!!!!!
