Thank you ALL for your advice on "beaching" my counter "surfer". The obvious answer is to keep all food off the counters....unfortunately, I do not live alone, and my stealth bomber waits until your back is turned for a nano-second during food preparation. I am going to catalog the many suggestions and use Wrigley as a test for each method. I'll let you all know what he responds to, it anything. The idea that it is genetic and cannot be countermanded is a bit deflating, but we will perservere.
Wrigley took his surfing to a new level this morning. He snagged an open bottle of foot powder off the bathroom vanity table and gleefully ran through the house biting it, which caused the powder to spew everywhere, living room, kitchen, dining room..... FYI, foot powder can be vacuumed off the carpets, but needs to be washed off the hardwood floors.....at least twice.... Where is Daisy Crifasi and her surfing knowlege when you need her??????
