Safe storage for batteries and discipline training for your pooches. This here is a worst case, but on a more normal note I wouldn't want them nomming on my shoes or furniture either.

I have looked and I cannot find another thread on this topic on CPF. There has been wide coverage of the Tulsa incident on media around the country.
