Well, guys, I know I'm an old fuddy duddy and worry wart but I think Sarah and her husband have the right idea totally about taking the equipment to a licensed electronics place.

I come from a different life experience since our house burned down in 2002 while we are at work from (what the state fire marshall's investigation finally found) an electrical malfunction in the wiring of a plug-in. I never in my life even thought about fire and now the slightest change of sound in a motor, etc. can throw me in a tizzy.

Sarah, I can't for the life of me remember where I bought this but if you're interested, I'll try to research past invoices... Before we got Taffy, I bought this cord cover thingey that is like a plastic tubing that is round like a small tube but slit so that cords can be tucked inside it. It is treated with something that is distasteful but not harmful to pets.

I bought several different kinds of pens and fences, etc. while preparing for Taffy but have found that our favorite is the taller Richell fences. They are really quite attractive, too. I purposely didn't attach ours together as directed so that I could use them in other ways. They are free standing and wonderful! They are pricey but so versatile. (I think I got them cheaper than this link but I did the fastest link search. Also, be aware that you need the tallest ones, too, if you go this route. I'm not sure which this link shows.)

Amazon.com: Richell USA 94147 Rubberwood...
I remember, too, that you guys are still newlyweds so I have a feeling this hurt more than just Maddy's feelings. Try to realize that he's probably regretting such an outburst but it came from that man and his music place. My husband is the same way about his electronics!

So far Miss Taffy hasnt eaten any electrical cords but she has managed to bite/gnaw two large keys off my laptop keyboard while it was setting on the floor by my chair. I about freaked out because she could have swallowed them! Plus, I'd never seen the nakedness underneath the caps lock and the shift! However, they did pop back on....whew!

Thinking of you...
