Boy oh boy do I love this guy, right down to the dirt on the bridge of his naughty back-yard-digging nose.
HOWEVER:
Baxter has a few bad habits and one of those bad habits involves my two brand-new Pottery Barn couches.
Have you ever had a dog or cat that likes to sit on your couch cushions? (If you've ever owned a dog or cat in your lifetime the answer is "yes.")
SOLUTION:
One mouse trap per cushion. *
Baxter is an intelligent, sensitive animal. Thankfully, he is observant enough that I didn't need to set the traps for him. He watched me closely as I set them, snapping my own fingers, and decided he didn't want any part of that.
* No French Bulldogs were actually harmed in this process.
And wah-lah! Dog-butt free cushions!! Once they know about the potential SNAP, you can eventually quit setting the traps- just place them on the cushions. After a little more time, the couch will no longer be an option for your furry friend & you can go "trap-free!"
It may not sound super friendly but IT WORKS! If you've had the same problem, let me know how that works out for you!
Have A Holly Jolly Holiday

Haha) An observant 4legged inhabitant of your flat made my day! It is so smart of his to follow the strategies of yours and prophesize your next steps! Nice!
