you should have seen the day I left her outside when I went to work. Came home, dogs were outside, let them in, noticed candy wrappers on the floor. I think, maybe my boyfriends home early and I missed his car. Walk around, no boyfriend. Then I see an empty pie shell that used to be an entire strawberry pie, I just bought the day before. Thinking, ok either the ghosts got really hungry (my house was built in 1888) or I have a hungry robber in the house. Keep looking to see what else is missing. hmmm, who cleaned out the litter box...yep doggies broke in, ate candy, pie, and kitty poop and then went back outside like nothing ever happened!
My little one was a litter box diver too, and I guess trained the big one to do it too. so now we have to set up an obstacle coarse for the cats where they have to jump a fence to get to the litter boxes.
I tried the bagel trick and it doesn't work at all with my dog. he is the sort of dog that hedges his bets and weighs the benefits and punishments, and for him the benefits of the bagel is worth more than the punishments, so when those cans come a crashing, he takes off....with the bagel. Yes he was scared for a second, but at least he got a fat bagel as a reward. For him the trick is maintaining his "I didn't do it" poker face.
OHmigosh I have a big guy that does the same thing only in the kitchen. I just cannot leave a block of cheese out on the counter and leave it because when I come back it is completely, totally gone 3 seconds flat. That boy can polish off something on the counter and leave no evidence whatsoever. He also goes after the trash can, his legs are so long he can just go up to the can and look in and garbage shop. I have come home to all kinds of stuff that has been drug through the entire apt. He has this sheepish look on his face like "look ma what I did all by myself". I have since learned not to leave anything out and make sure the trash is out and the waste basket is placed up somewhere high.
lol, mine ate a freshly cooked pork tenderloin in less than a minute. He must not have chewed because I was not gone for a minute and all that was left was the pan it was in, licked clean. That thing smelled good too I never got a taste

LOL it is kind of a shock isn't it? You don't know wheather to scream or stand there kind of dumfoundedat least that is the way I have felt when something is inhaled in one fell swoop.

well, my Fiancee was the one doing the yelling. I was on the verge of tears. You see my fiancee cooked it and was letting it cool. but it smelled so good that I wanted a taste. just a little bit. But I didn't want to be yelled at so I I left it alone. I took the little one out in the yard to pee. we walked 5 steps out, he peed, we came back in, and the big one is curled up licking his lips and the Tenderloin was gone. Like magic. If I had snatched a piece, I would have gotten away Scott free. I never got a taste

That is how I found out she can eat chocolate.
WOW!! ... the ONE time bailey got into chocolate, she was sick in EVERY single room of my house while i was at work the next day.... poor thing was SO humiliated, she would sit nearby as i was cleaning, but couldn't look at me.....
i have caught dave pulling open the drawer in my nightstand to search for my reading glasses..... thank goodness i can get them at the dollar store.....

Too funny about the dogs opening the door. My wiem can open the patio sliding door if it isn't locked.
She is a counter surfer too. She will use her paw to get food I try to keep out of her reach. Does not matter what it is as long as it is food. She amazes me at how far she can reach.
I tried putting empty soda cans on a piece of duct tape across the counter. All that did was get in the way and of course you had to remember to put it back and then there was the problem of the tape sticking together. I may have to try the bagel and the cans although I have a feeling it will just make her not want a bagel.
The other day she jumped up and got a new loaf of bread, luckly I got it from her before she could do much damage other than a few smushed pieces.
MAK, that's a great video you posted! I will try that with Marley.
He is an expert at countertop surfing, his last 'victory' was my crock pot along with the contents, full leg of lamb
He has also widened his expertise into trashing the kitchen bin. Do I pay if I forget to put the kitchen bin outside!!
I was greeted with this delight when I came home on Monday. I had made a mental note to change the bag when I got home as it was trash day, I forgot, won't do that again!!!
My Doberman would get into the trash, so I put a little hot sauce on top and he never touched the trash again. When we travel and stay at a motel I have to pick all the trash cans up and put them up on the counter. Finn seems to think his job is to go around and empty them all.

woof!! makes me glad that bailey is afraid of the kitchen trash can and dave limited himself to the small, uncovered can in the bathroom!! and he's even outgrown that now.....
