I want to vacuum seal many freezer bags full of food and want to use the Ziploc freezer bags if possible, though if there is a cheaper way that still keeps food fresh, that's fine as wellThanks!
I would give a go to a cheap blanket for her to useAlso, maybe when you are gone, you could put a sheet of heavy plastic down on your bed, so it's not very comfortableAfter awhile she may just give up on getting up thereIf you catch her, the spray bottle should do the trick, just remember to keep one handy.
If it's just the drooling and digging that's the problem, just run down to the nearest SallyAnne and buy a big comforter to throw over the bed when you're goneOtherwise I'd suggest putting a tall x-pen around the bed.
Well there is the old trick of putting mouse traps on the bedNot Rat Traps, those are too big and could cause harmSet up a bunch of mouse traps on your bed, and that should cure herAlthough being an Aussie, she might figure out once the traps spring she is safe for the rest of the day.
I would agree with the mouse trap thingA friend used that approach to train her cat to stay off the counters and it worked wellLike they said, don't use rat traps because they're a lot stronger and could really hurt her if they snap on her foot, because she won't be able to get it off until you get homeI would scatter several on the bed and cover them with a light weight blanket or sheet so she can't see where they areWhen she jumps up the noise will scare her offI say cover them with a blanket because if it was my dog he'd probably climb up on the bed carefully to avoid them after they snapped at him the first time ) plus it's a little extra cushion to help prevent injury
I bought a handheld vac sealer by Reynolds (Aluminum Foil) for $10, and it has done a good jobThey stopped making the bags though so I buy a different kindI haven't had to replace the batteries yetIt has been a couple of years nowYou can find handheld vac sealers at WalMart and Target etcI make especially sure that the zip-lock is sealed by laying the bag on the counter and pressing down the whole length of the zippered topOne little mistake, and the bag will lose its seal; and you will be wondering what the hell is wrongI have also reused the bags effectively.
