I know that one as the orange Creamsicle

Somehow last night our new puppy managed to get up on my desk and reach a foam ring that held 6-7 streamers I had tied. He completely destroyed them, but somehow also managed to avoid getting one stuck in his mouth or, worse, in his throat. It was a minor miracle we did not spend the night at the animal hospital.

I guess I now need to find a more secure place to store flies and typing materials!

I have the same problem. The only thing that seems to work is a door to my tying room that's always closed.

Wow, you're right. That could have been a disaster.
Look around for a baby gate that goes across doorways and stairways. We had to do that to keep our 2 mutts out of a danger zone, and it worked well.
