Oh the shame of it...today I had Jazz in a small pet store and while I was paying for some food she shoplifted a rawhide ring covered in some sort of crunchy snack. I saw her do it and told the guy add that to my bill. So we did pay for it. In her younger years a " leave it" would have prevented that but she is pretty deaf now so either did not hear me or knew she could get away with pretending she did not hear me. My good old granny dog gone bad soon you will see her face on the most wanted poster at the post office.Maybe we can claim alzheimers as a defense?
That makes me wonder why so many pet stores put those loose rawhides and bully sticks or even loose dog biscuits in boxes near the counter and low enough for the dogs to get their heads in the boxes and shoplift while you are busy checking out. Is it the same as grocery stores and other stores putting the candy right there??? after all kids will be kids even the furry kinds!
LOL, great story! And yes, I'm certain they put the tempting toys in reach of the dogs for just that reason. Our dog's lives are too short, no sense in not spoiling her with this indulgence.
Oh Dashdog, what kind of example are you showing Jazz by letting her get off so easy? I mean really... It's like telling an old 80 year old at the grocery store, its alright for her to open the box of Ensure and take a can or two. Really, I am shocked!
LOL, kidding. It's a great story. Gotta love our senior dogs.
PS...If my Sheba were there she would have suggested that Jazz take a more expensive and delicious item than a crunchy coated rawhide.

I can just picture her mugshot with a tiara! Old people sometimes think they're entitled to do whatever they want...maybe Jazz has the same attitude
If it's any consolation, mine would shoplift like crazy if we let them!
LOL I can picture that. Just like the video of the dog thief going into the supermarket for a bone and running out. Too cute...in my eyes dogs can get away with it without getting in trouble. Hope Jazz enjoyed her treat!
The fact that she "does not hear" you is an excellent excuse to get goodies at the pet shop.
If I were you I would absolutely buy her as many treats as I could, as long as they spoil dinner just a little bit, huh!!??
Senior dogs are the cutest thing. I would not trade my old lady for anything in this world. She is 11 now and I love all her grumpiness and tenderness. When I had other old ladies too, they were the loves of my life, so incredibly sweet.
On the same note of "not hearing", one of mine was sound asleep at night and she would completely forgot where we were and come growling bc she thought there were strangers in other rooms in the house. Oh, the cuteness!!
Sometimes we are at home and I will leave something she likes around but she still thinks I did not see it and takes it (tiptoeing) to her special places.
For some reason, all dogs I know, when at home, will only eat their goodies at those places (a mat, a dog bed, a pillow, under some furniture, etc). Go figure, it is one of their sweet things.
what a great story dashdog.... that queen jazz is a wiley one.....
when we go to petsmart, bailey and dave will walk right into the checkstand kiosk to await their treats from the cashier..... we are regulars, so most of them recognize or know us.... but still, it gets purdy crowded in there until they back out and sit down to await their treat......
LOL - great story. You have to love the oldsters and their "selective hearing" I used to have to go out into the yard and clip a leash on Bandit at times to get him to come into the house as no amount of calling his name was going to interrupt his backyard stroll. He would be in total "ignore mode" I knew he didn't have any problem with his hearing. He was the same dog that would come running from the other side of the house if I so much as brushed against the treat bag in the pantry!
