When the Kirby salespeople came to the door Tuesday, the inner pit bull in Bailey, my Chihuahua mix, came out to play. He grabbed hold of the blinds by his crooked under bite and ripped four of the slats to shreds. Before I could even rethread them yesterday, the mail carrier came to the door with certified mail. I stood out on the porch signing the slips just long enough for Bailey to rip apart four more slats. Now I have to go downstairs in just a few minutes and replace eight slats in total before any perspective buyers drive by and see the white, plastic mess in my window.You would think that, with these blinds being my fifth set, that I would have learned my lesson by now. Don't leave the blinds down during the day. I used to abide by that lesson when I was working, but now that the neighborhood kids are in school and I'm at home, I thought that it was safe to leave them down, at least for a few hours. Who knew that I'd get two uninvited visitors on my porch two days in a row? If a third visitor shows up today, I may end having to replace the entire thing, and there goes another $45 that I don't have or want to spend.
I just wonder, if I had a big dog like a Great Dane or a typically aggressive dog like a Rottweiler, would it actually be less aggressive than a Chihuahua with Little Dog Syndrome? I'm guessing probably.
