I know how the whole "leaving the purse down" can be, Pebbles, for some reason LOVES to get in my purse, I don't ever carry medicines, but she did get to my candy (I usually carry mints) and ufff I was so scared! ... and another thing you should watch for that happened to me with Pebbles, of course, ... I made myself a sandwich for lunch, and Chris, my husband wasn't coming home for lunch, so I decided to eat at the bed, well, I made my sandwich, set in on the nightstand, then remembered that I had to put my clothes in the washer so I went and when I got back she has ate the top part of my sandwich (the top bread) ... ufff, once again I was so scared!!! so never again ... I mean nothing happened to her in any of those 2 incidents, but I learned from my mistakes ... and now I am more careful ... they don't have to be hungry to eat human food, the smell gets in their little noses and they'll go for it!!! be very careful with your babies
