Silicone oh my does Abby love it.  I had bought some silicone hot pads and had left them on the counter after I had taken the dish of food out of the oven.  All I did was turn my back for a quick second and they were gone, by the time I got outside to retrieve my new hot pads she had eaten half of one of them.  Well it did not end there, every time I left the hot pads on the counter she would grab them and eat them, so I bought new ones again and of course the same thing happened again and again, so needless to say I did not buy any more of them, but what I did buy was a silicone basting brush that I love.  I had used the brush and put it in the dishwasher, turned back to the sink to put more dishes in the dishwasher and the brush was gone.  Of course she was outside again with the brush and by the time I got out there she had eaten the brush part but not the handle.  I bought another one and of course she got that one too, only this time she got up and retrieved it out of the sink, so I thought I would try one more, and no she has not gotten this one YET!   Continued
