My cat did that too. He ran off with it and when I found him upstairs he had NO whiskers and bald spots around his mouth. He stunk of burnt hair!!! That is a nasty smell!!!
Let's Talk Turkey - Year-End Edition
Andre stole a whole roast!!!! Also cookies, bread, english muffin, candy,a sandwich------you would not think that I every feed him but he is over weight. LOL
Still a puppy. That's his story and he's sticking to it. Laughing out loud every day is the key for a long healthy life dear Wren ^_^
My dad doggy sat for my sisters dog. She failed to mention you needed to clear off the counters. She ate a loaf of bread, A package of oreos, fig newtons, and a few other counter goodies. (broke the cookie jar too) What a mess!
Well then I will live to a hundred. But how could you not laugh with him. Crazy dog.
Laughter....great medicine!!103!!!
My Ridgeback is a talented counter-surfer, and nothing at that level is safe.
She ate an entire 8 X 8 pan of hot gingerbread one time, and it's not unusual to see her swipe searingly hot fresh-baked cookies off the baking sheet.
Her trick is to walk to the edge of the kitchen & as you walk further into the hallway, she turns her head just so, while backing up, keeping the goodies & the owner in full view.
Her best move was nabbing the crab-stuffed halibut off the broiler pan, and us trying to save it from her mouth: like we'd want to serve it at that point?
Sorry I crashed last night.
Andre is just plain fast. And he never forget where eatable items are put. Of course his ideas of what is eatable and mine are not the same. LOL I saved him from a few trips to the vet by prying his mouth open and pulling things out. Once a large grease mass of plastic wrap. I have about trained my mother to not leave "eatable" items in the sink or on counter. Thought she has more trouble with the locking trashcan than Andre does.
Sooo, all breeds of dogs are natural born thieves?? Yours is particularly crafty Katye!
Wren, so did I. I have been wiped out since the holidays. I am just trying to catch up. I am taking a class in Geology. Everytime I pick up the book I seem to fall asleep. LOL Oh well, I will BRB, gotta get the oldest on the bus. She is moving REAL slow. hehehe
Well Geology is a little on the "dry" side!!! The School bus just picked the kinds up at the corner and the trash truck just came by.
It will be back into the 80 again today. but down into the 60 tomorrow and next week it will be down into the 50's darn yo-yo weather.
Yes all dogs are natural born thieves only some are large enough to get away with it. One day mom asked if I know what happened to the english muffin that she had put onto the counter. I told her if it was not there then "you know who eat it" she said at least it had not gone to waste. I asked "you know who" if he enjoyed his breakfast" and he grinned at me.
LOL!!!
One day my sister-in-law made her DH two chicken patty sandwiches for a quick lunch.
He sat down to eat them and there were no tops to the bunns. The dog could smell the chicken but when he walked by the table all he could nab was the bun tops! He cracks me up. He sat smackling his lips looking the other way like, "I didnt do ANYTHING."
Its about 10 degrees now. We are suppose to get up to 30 today though.
Freezing rain and sleet tonight. Yuck!
Stay warm!
I will. Its already up to 14! woohoo!
You go feed the squirrels. hehehe
I took the dog for a run and later we plan on going to the beach!!!! NA NA NA I will be thinking about y'all poor people up there in cold country.
I just caught up with the conversation from last night. My, my you were busy. I was laughing so hard. My squirrels have been having fun, too, and we will have some news ones whenever they are born.
Our lab ate several things, including a whole gingerbread house.
Yikes, Jen, - deer in the classroom! Thankfully, no one was hurt.
skeeters - please keep them and frozen straws - better straws than frozen other things. I'm still chuckling.
It is unfortunate about the deer. There are just so many and they get confussed.
I agree, I hope no one was injured!! Shop windows are often broken as well when they get downtown and panic. :(
Great dog stories--my dale is a counter-surfer, also--we must never leave anything edible on them---he also steals non-edibles like spritzer cans! The deer story was scary--imagine how those poor kids felt---and Wren---like Victor, I cannot get rid of my sinus-infection flu whatever, & feel I should be baking it out in FL---we are awaiting the closing on the FL house, which is supposed to be Jan. 30. So---unless the sale falls through--no FL this year.
Oh No! Hope y'all get to feeling better soon.
Jan... check out Philly TV stations tonight they were all there today getting the story.
Dog = counter or table surfing. Great words for the snatchers. ROFLMAO Incidently we had one of those once. We broke him with the hottest dry peppers set in butter and used rolls as the bait. Took three or four times but we enjoyed the fact his second stop was to lap up water to kill the sting.
I might try that.
He also liked home made fudge and such off the coffee table......Took a little creative doing but the same hot stuff in and on meat balls and on candy bites worked. The problem here is the fact most dogs woof it down and do not get the sting until the next trip outside. Then the poor critter can't figure out why. We finished that training with loaded honey so he would get the sting. If you put enough on that is sticky the lips and mouth lining get the message.
We tried the paper swat method but he saw it coming and thought it was a game. One could more than likely use an electronic sting but this demands you to be watching and catching them in the act.
Yes I am not fast enough to correct him and beside he thinks it is fun.
I am enjoying my 'after-the-holidays' annual cold. Up all night coughing, no sleep, feeling achy and dragging around as I take care of the house and the kids.
I'm also getting a big kick out of this thread, reading about all the 'counter surfers' out there! We have taken to leaving out jalapeno slices on the edge of the counter. It's a slow process ... and we REALLY have to remember where we put them so that we aren't making a sandwich near the spot where the peppers used to be!
Ah! Life with a puppy is NEVER boring! (NOTE: Neither is it with four cats and a puppy and an approaching weather system!!)
Your deer made the news in NYC too, Jen.

The little guy looks like he's having an "Oh s**t" moment.
Let's hope not - for the sake of the custodial staff.
LMBO. I thought the same thing Katye. Poor Bambi.
'Deer in the head (camera) lights' look?
Feeling poorly for him - he needs a baseball cap for that cute mug!
Tee hee...that is a pretty funny expression for a deer. Oh crap, now what?!?!?!?!?!
Should we start a new thread for those on dialup?
Nah...if I started telling my Stupid Stories I'd be here all day. And night. And well into next week. Remember, blonde is not a hair color, it is a State Of Mind.
Hee Hee.............stupid blond. Do you know what a gentleman hunter calls a beautiful blond?
Ans. Golden Retriever.
Don't throw anything hard. It was still on the dog subject of the day...more or less.
Or state of mindless? Hee hee. When I had hair it was blond!
Darn, victor beat me to the punchline.
Why did the blonde get thrown out of the M&M factory?
??
Hee hee. I remember something about a blond proofreader at the factory.
