The Baby/Dog Conspiracy
The baby and dog have started to enjoy playing together. By and large, this is a great thing. However, it's had some unfortunate consequences. When Mac is playing in his playzone in his room, I like to leave the door open, so I can see him and vice versa. Periodically, the dog wanders in. Mac has taken to greeting her by bestowing some toy or stuffed animal on her, or simply throwing it over the side of the fence for her to pick up at her leisure. We've already lost or damaged several toys and stuffed animals this way.
I'm not really sure what the solution here is. I don't want to spray bitter apple on all the stuff, because Mac puts it in his mouth too. I don't like closing the door or trying to seriously restrict contact, because that will make them both unhappy and be less safe for Mac. But the slow attrition of toys is really making me sad.
In other news, does anyone know any quick macros or programs for Anglicizing a piece of text? I'm submitting an article (hopefully soon) that needs to be in British spelling, and I'm afraid I'll miss something due to unfamiliarity.
