Madison Strikes Again

We have had Madison for almost a year now and we have had to fix and replace so many things she has damaged that I thought she couldn’t come up with anything new to destroy in the house, but she found something to ruin and it just adds another thing on our list that we have to replace. Last night Andy just started making tacos for dinner while I finished up doing the Wii Fit (my latest obsession, and still is) when all of a sudden I heard a crash followed by Andy’s potty mouth being directed at the dog. I looked in the kitchen and saw Madison’s latest attempt at destroying everything in her path. In our kitchen we have a tall glass kitchen table with wrought iron high boy chairs. When we moved in I purchased three tall and skinny pantries from IKEA that matched the kitchen nicely. It was a temporary fix for not enough cupboards in our small kitchen and was suppose to last until we could re-do the kitchen the way we wanted. They are tall and skinny, made from wood with glass doors trimmed out with silver/metal. Madison was sitting on one of the high boy’s, which she has been told a thousand times that she is not allowed to sit in them, so Andy yelled at her to get down. When she jumped down toward the pantries the wrought iron high boy followed her and crashed into one of the glass doors and shattered in a million pieces all over the kitchen. It was quite the sight to see. To my surprise I did not get mad, yell or scream, but instead I just laughed internally and gave Andy a hard time for his out-of-control dog. By the way, it was not the time to give Andy crap about his dog misbehavin’ or rub it in that his dog it out-of-control while I laughed as he swept the floor. Yeah, not a tactful time for that. Madison was put in her cage while Andy cleaned up her mess for the next two hours. We are now down to two pantries and will be making a trip to IKEA this weekend to see if we can just replace the door instead of buying a whole new pantry. One pantry was not cheap even though it was purchased at IKEA so we are hoping we can just buy the door since we think I bought all three in pieces like IKEA usually sells their stuff. Anyways, hurricane Madison strikes again!
