BAD DOG - Page 4

Hmmm....half bottle of Tums! I'd have to say she certainly NEEDED that after her pig-out!!

OMG...can't stop laughing!

luckily, poison control said that the calcium in the tums would not harm her as a one time event.  if she did that sort of thing everyday, that would be a different story.  we cannot leave anything in the sink with her, as she we'll take any dirty plates out of the sink and lick them clean.  we are talking 10 inch glass plates too, she used to take them over the baby gate in the kitchen into the living room to be more comfortable  :)  without breaking them either.  her stories are endless, oh there was the stolen 1/2 of a pizza once too while we were watching TV, she was very quiet about that one.  was even so kind as to leave the box on the counter and stole them one by one.  she is truly food motivated!  really just makes us be cleaner people. 

bump.   :)

I came home one day to a very nice smelling house.  When I walked into the family room, i discovered an empty bottle of tide liquid and - suds everwhere.  Reno had twisted the spicket on the water heater, which flooded the laundry room and family room, and then proceeded to open the bottle of tide and run around the house with it draining onto the wet carpet.  Needless to say it was fun discussing this claim with the insurance adjuster!

She also liked to take warm clothes out of the dryer and make a nice bed for herself!

OK I got  a couple stories here. Yes I did have a male do some counter surfing with the Thanksgiving turkey when I was carrying food plates into the other dining room.  Can tell now that so many years have passed but I caught him in the act as the turkey hit the floor, 10 second rule right?  My in-laws  where there and no time or money for another bird so of course I checked it over for bite marks washed it off and served the bird, no one the wiser!  Put the dog outside for the rest of the meal.  I never even told my husband!  BAD DOG

Recently had my bitch in for OFA's and she ended up staying the night as they had an emergency and had to do the xrays later than expected.  She is my little Houdini but I never thought she'd attempt an escape  from there but ....

Well when I picked her up bright and early the next morning  they were very glad to see me.  Apparently she got out of their kennel run in the room where they keep all the dogs 6' foot high by 3' wide, opened a door (turned the handle) to get into an exam room , then proceeded to open a sliding door (she's been doing that for months at home) and then opened another door to get to the main lobby and proceeded to help herself to  the dogfood bags they have for sale in the lobby!  The three cats who roam the property at night were her  buddies and shared her spoils.  The vets front door was terribly scratched but was locked and her nails were all worn down from the effort but fortunately she did not get out to the outside.

She was in a locked kennel when I got there and they "suggested" maybe she not do an overnight again!  HAH  They said no other dog had escaped like she did... clever girl:)

I'm just glad food was all she got in to and no worse for the wear.

Wow!  Guess no overnight stays for her anymore unless it's supervised!

Like the turkey story, I would have done the same thing too!!  Rather than suffer that embarrassment.

We had a little rescue cat that figured out how to open her cage too.  First night we figured, well maybe we didn't close it properly, no got out a second night and set off the alarm.  Not good!  She knew what she was doing, since the boss ended up taking her home!

 Years ago I used to groom for a living. The shop I worked in had a family of gorgeous show English Setters that we regularly groomed. One Thanksgiving we prepared the youngest bitch for a really important show - it took hours. Katy had a gorgeous white coat with liver spots, long silky feathers on her legs, underbelly, ears and chest. We sent her home, proud of the job we did. The owner of the grooming shop called me in the middle of the night; the Katy's owner was hysterical. The show was in six hours, and she had stolen the Thanksgiving turkey from the kitchen counter, eaten half of it and buried the rest in the fireplace.

We didn't get much sleep that night. (Katy took BOB)

I keep getting a chuckle out of this thread....they are worse than kids.....

OH, I forgot that she can and has broken out of a vari kennel a couple of times in the house.  She bites the dog and physically pulls the door inward until the latches are bent and out she comes.  Has only done this when we are not home.  Hence we just don't lock her up anymore!  Therefore she breaks into fridge.  Think that it was just dumb luck, because past three days it's been closed.  Thank god!  I really didn't want to padlock the thing.
