Oh dear, my wife went away for a few days and this is the result!! Her dog got caught in the lace behind the curtain and then instead of the Dog sitting still and waiting for help it made things worse by turning around and around and got the curtain stuck in the lace. By the time I arrived the dog had twisted the curtain so tightly it had suspended its back legs off the floor and was yelping when I went near it to help.

I knew that I was in danger of the Dog bitting me if I bent down to free it with my hands so I had no alternative I looked for the largest knife I could find (no not to kill the dog) much to the dread of our kids who didnt understand what was happpening with all the yelping and me running with a knife.

I used the knife to cut a large peice out of the curtain to free the Dog and a large enough peice so that I kept my hands away from the yelping Dog while I did it.

Sadly this is what is left of our $600 curtains, Im pleased I had the chance to use one of my knives to save the dog but now how will I explain this gap in the curtain??? The Dog now doesnt seem bothered by the incident at all.

Not sure what to say. I do own curtains, dogs, and wife, probably aint gonna win no matter what you did. Yaknow??
 
Bah, no problem just cut the rest of em to the same length and your wife wouldn't notice, plus the dog will not get stuck in the curtains, problem solved.

Yeh, but havent you noticed, I have a lot of knives but I still dont know how to cut straight ?? I trimmed it a little high and a bit ragged to sit neatly over the sill. I think she would notice it doesnt look the same??

Looks fine to me. :p

No seriously you're probably in trouble, blame the dog. "I can't believe the dog ate that much curtain either honey."
 
need to invest in some kevlar gloves.....:D :o
 
Move the couch over in front of the window, and say nothing.

The cat looks quite amused by it all in the picture.. :D
 
No matter what the story, your are in deep DO-DO. The dog is an innocent, you cut her curtains. This is close to how it's going to go.

New curtains=$600
Knife Allowance=0000
Wife Happy= Priceless
 
My garage has a bathroom. You can hide out in there if you like! Bring some good trading knives with you!!
 
I don't know. That cat looks mighty suspicious. I smell a set-up.
 
What ever happens your only answers are, it was like that when I got here, it was like that when we bought it.

Also one thing that works on women all the time, show her something shiny (works best when its over a carat, and not a new knife) that should distract her for a while.
 
Just explain to your wife that if you had used your sharpest knife, and cut very carefully, you could have removed the dog from the curtain without damaging it. The Curtain. But, you chose to save it. The dog, not the curtain.

However, there is one full length curtain left, and if the situation should repeat itself which would she prefer you cut?

Might want to get the attorney's number first.

And do something about the cat. They are never completely innocent in these matters. Most likely the cat caused the dog's entrapment, but as with most such cat-plans, she got it backwards and it was the wrong end of the dog that got tangled. Cats are tricky. Just not good planners.

Blame the cat for clawing and tearing or shitting on the curtains. you had no choice but to cut it.
 
Hey all its OK, weve decided to put the house on the market and build a new house with new curtains.
Thanks for all the suggestions it did cheer her up.
