She likes to floss??
Start spraying the blinds with a combo punch of dog repellant and bitter apple. Then add plenty of scolding.

something's triggered her somehow. you may have to go back to putting her in a crate when you're gone and observe her when you're home. when she goes near them tell her no and to sit. and be consistant and keep doing this until she stops. you can try the bitter apple spray on the blinds, but i have yet to see bitter anything stop a determined border collie, lol. you may have to consult a professional trainer on this one. good luck.

maybe the blinds look like a bunch of skinny bones?
