Hi all.
Hubby and I are in disagreement about how to handle Peanut's love of the countertops/stovetop area when we're cooking.
I was using 2 burners and prepping food on the counters last night, and she kept jumping up,t rying to eat the food, etc.
I asked hubby who was not cooking to play w/her while I cooked so she wouldn't come in. he thought we should put her in the bedroom behind closed doors.
But all she'll do in there is whine and meow (and basically break my heart). I don't want her to associate the bedroom w/punishment or be scared every time we go to pick her up that she's going to be put in solitary confinement.
BUT...we cannot have her climbing on the counters during and especially AFTER food is being cooked. I don't want her to get burned, etc.
I should give hubby the opportunity to tell his side of this matter but I think I've presented it somewhat objectively.
So what do we do? Go out to eat every night until she's and adult?? :lol:
