"Someone" doesn't shut the back door completely. The big yellow dog came in and played with my yarn! He even took one out of my knitting bag!

I've got three cats. The trick is giant Ziploc bags, or those zipper vinyl sweater bags. For extra security, try plastic bins with lids.

 

[kiwiannie]

Naughty dog,i bet from now on the back door will be closed properly.

 

[vixensuzyq]

OMG! If it were me, I wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry.

 

[PearlofGreatPrice]

Rah Row, Rover!

 

[mopgenorth]

Oh my! I bet you are now trained to make sure the door is closed!

 

[nanciann]

Woe is me! I understand completely. My little angel face chewed half of my Holbrook shawl and I was not a happy camper...when I had to reknit that half again...

Now my yarn is kept in a plastic tub...

 

[hgayle]

I wasn't the one who left the door open. There are two of them in the dog house now.

Doesn't the would "Pound" come to mind when this happens? Of course, we could never send them to the pound, but that is what I threaten mine with. I say pound and she heads for the back room and goes up under the bed like she knows what I am saying. Now, the time for patience comes blossoms and you just sit down and imagine how much fun he must have been having thinking he was helping you to get finished with the knitting so you two can have a playtime.

Oh yes. He was having a ball (pun intended). This is the second time this has happened. The first time, the yarn was literally strewn from one end of the house to the other. I just wish his "father" would learn to shut the door ALL THE WAY.

 

[jeannemarie]

Oh No! You are not going to have fun untangling that mess! I would pull one back out of the doghouse and have him help me...

He already offered. I forgot to mention that the WIP was laying out on the deck, and the ball of yarn was laying in a puddle of water down on the sidewalk. We'll just have to wait and see if it's salvageable.

 

[Grandma Laurie]

Oh, so sorry. Sophie has done this more than once - a few times. You would think that I would learn to close dors when I'm going to be gone.........

 

[dachsmom]

Oh my, what a mess. Eve seen the movie "The Ugly Dachshund"? Brings this to mind!

 

[dragonflylace]

Wow, I am so sorry, but if you have grandkids, they love to figure out where the "string" goes next. Mine helped me untangle a mess once...kinda like "Tom Sawyer"...they thought it was a game.

 

[Torticollus]

Your dog thinks your yarn is more dear to you than he is, so he wants to be close to it, too, to get the same affection. Dog psychology!

 

[Gypsycream]

Why do they always head for the knitting? Mystery to me.

Hope you can de-tangle and sort out the mess that was your work

 

[Dlclose]

I wasn't the one who left the door open. There are two of them in the dog house now.

HAHAHA! I understand.

 

[Patian]

It seems they head straight for the knitting, how do they do that?
