On a Binge

Desy did it again. She is just driven to find food sometimes.  Today while I went to Aquarobics, she nosed open the cupboard door and pulled out two boxes of instant chocolate pudding mix and one box of pearl tapioca.  She ripped the boxes open and had chocolate powder over the floor, though she'd eaten as much as she could get.  The pearl tapioca was scattered, too, but she didn't really want that!  What a mess I had to clean up.

The cupboard doors don't latch.  They just rest against the cupboard.  I'll have to remember to put a chair solidly in front of the cupboard when I go out.  I think she's extra hungry because of the medication she's taking for her allergies.  I'm sorry she's so driven but I certainly don't want her to continue to raid the cupboard!

    You need to get those child proof cupboard door latches. They are easy to put on and keep the kids and animals out of the bottom cupboards! I think they are made by Safety First! Or put a toddler gate up?

    I don't think those child proof latches would work on these cupboard doors. They don't latch at all. They just cover the front and rest against the framework of the cupboard. No latch at all. Parking the chair against the cupboard door will effectively bar her from opening it. It's a tall, floor to almost ceiling cupboard with two sets of shelves that swing out and shallow shelves built into the doors. I just need to remember to block it shut and she'll leave that stuff alone.
