so i recently laid 2 cheapo carpet runners with rubber backs in the hallway leading to the edge of the kitchen. i resisted before because of my general hate for vacuuming but pinky would just not come out of her room. i would be puttering around in the kitchen with the dog and see her in the open doorway peering at us.
now that the runners are there i have created a monster 
i figured she would stay on the runners… but no… when i’m in the living room (round the corner from the kitchen) i can here the pitter patter of little thumpers. as soon as the dog or i goto check out what she’s doing she spins her wheels and high tails it back to the runners. home-free. lol.
and whenever i open the fridge or run the taps she thinks – of course – that i’m preparing her salad and she comes running to the end of the last runner. which conveniantly is less than 2 feet away from the fridge door when it’s swung open. this morning i took my usual vitamins and turned to see pinky and bogart side by side behind me staring at me intently. “good grief woman… stop dilly-dallying… HURRY UP ALREADY and FEED us!”
