I feel like I have a toddler! I was just on the phone with our credit card company (fun!) and every 30 seconds or so I'd hear BANG from the kitchen. What the heck? I went to investigate, and lo and behold, there stood one parti poodle, nudging the door to the cabinet that contains the garbage can, and then letting it slam shut:
Nudge.
BANG.
Nudge.
BANG.
In between, she was studying it carefully.
When she noticed me, she abruptly stopped and walked out of the kitchen ("Nothing to see here!"), but a few minutes later: BANG. BANG. BANG.
Is your house poodle-proofed? Or would you approach this more as a training issue?
I wouldn't be surprised if she just wanted my attention, as previously she'd been sadly resting her head in my lap, wondering why I was being so boring. But the fact that it was the garbage cabinet seems mighty suspicious.
I'd rather nip this in the bud before she is rewarded with a mouthful of tasty garbage.
