Anyone want a Labrador Retriever???

[Comrad]

Next time you have to tell him.....No soup for you!

Meanwhile the dog was overheard saying "liddle bet o whyne, liddle bet mo whyne, heck, put it all in!".

He's a Labrador! When he walked past you, he was probably on his way to stick his head in the garbage can.

When I was a teen, we had two dogs. Moki, the house dog, was part Dachshund and part Manchester. Brutus, the yard dog, was AKC registered German Shepard. Mom would usually take Moki with her shopping and such if it wasn't too warm a day as her loved riding in the car. Plus he wouldn't bother anything she bought. One day for some reason she took Brutus with her to the commissary on Fort Gillem. On the way home she stopped in one of the local drug stores and was only in there about 10 minutes. When she came back, Brutus had eaten two steaks and a loaf of bread!

My Redneck Terrier eats anything and everything, including cat turds. Although it comes in handy not to have to empty the litter box as often, should I be concerned?

Brings a new meaning to "dogbreath". My dogs are too small to reach the table. Anything that hits the floor, they're on it like a couple piranhas.

Caj,surely you know without an eyewitness this is all purely circumstantial evidence.

 

[Hapworth]

No matter how sophisticated you think your purebred dog is, they "evolved" from "midden scroungers" and garbage or unattended table fare is a target of opportunity. Live with it...


As a veterinarian, I am obligated to warn you of the adverse consequences to eating stuff that they are not used to eating. Pancreatitis is as serious as a "heart attack". They can die fron that. Eternal vigilance is an obligation as a dog owner. Yes, they are sly and cunning and always require close watching.

Amen. And I'll add, since the meal in question was French onion soup, onions can injure or kill dogs; all owners should know what foods dogs need to be protected from...

Only if you let him lick your face.

BTW, dogs are like little kids, if they can get their paws on it,
it's theirs.

My yellow lab pup finally calmed down at 3yo. He's no problem and an awesome watch dog. He looks for the red and white McDonald's bag every time I go out and come home. He loves plain cheeseburgers and ice cream.

My daughter's orange cat George. Here's where it starts. We had hot wings. We put the bones in the garbage. A day later we find hot wing bones all over the house. Then we heard a cat crying outside. We found the hot wing thief. George was out side and stuff was coming out of both ends. The daughter wasn't home. We thought of finding another orange cat to replace him it was that bad. Finally George calmed down and was ok. George was a 25# large orange cat. These are the cats the Chinese food places dream of. Let's face it I never seen chicken that tender. But George was ok but now we hide the hot wing bones.

I adopt pets that no one wants or the ones I find abandoned in the woods.
I just adopted two awesome kittens there brothers. One is black n white and the other is an orange n white. Why are orange cats so different. This one is into everything. Curious and over playful. Everything is a toy. He is right there under foot all the time. If you try to read a book or news paper he sits on it. When the misses makes the bed he under the blanket and bed spread. The more the misses rough houses with him the more he loves it.
They say that orange cats are different?

My old labrador wouldn't steal food, even if you left it out in front of him, EXCEPT...

chocolate. He loved chocolate.

I don't know how he first got a hold of it, since it is poison for many dogs. But...

He snuck in and bit a big hole in the middle of my 10 year old daughter's chocolate birthday cake.

Her older sister absentmindedly took her diamond stud earrings out of her ears after helping me make chocolate brownies. He slurped them up with his big tongue before she could reach him. {I followed him around for four days; never recovered the earrings, although we had an intensive investigation--if you understand}.

How that dog lived with two angry girls after him, I'll never know.

I would also remind our learned Counselor that there was alcohol consumption involved. Perhaps one's perception could be clouded? Was that indeed cheese?

 

[rwsmith]

Yes.....

I don't believe a "wisp of shredded cheese" is positive proof. You don't have any real witnesses and Angus probably just picked up some cheese leavings to hunt the real culprit.

Apologize to Angus right now.

And give him clear instructions to guard the food better the next time you decide to irresponsibly wander off.

Yes, circumstantial evidence only. Someone could have PUT the cheese on his jaw.


Missus Smith says our dogs aren't subtle at all about snatching food where they know they shouldn't.

Was at a friends house for dinner and to watch a football game. He cooked a whole pork loin roast with all the fixings.Four of us fixed our plates and went to the family room to enjoy the game. My friend has 5 dogs of various breeds and size so it's not unusual for them to wander in the house.

A couple minutes after we sat down I noticed out of the corner of my eye his Lab coming in from the kitchen.In his mouth was the rest of the roast with the fork still stuck in it.My friend jumped out of his chair and the dog didn't even flinch.He had waited until everyone else got their food and probably assumed it was his turn.He must've also assumed that no one was going back for seconds.

We treat our pets as family then wonder why they act like us.Now whenever I visit I bring a ribeye bone for each dog to chow down on and they haven't pinched food off the counter since.

I still haven't figured out why one dog pees behind the recliner.I know he didn't learn it from me.

My mothers shar pei ate a sewing needle pin cushion, full of pins. It was only half her falt though,it looked like a real cheeseburger. Don't know if she swallowed any,vet said to keep an eye on her.Its been 5+ years now. She said it took her an hour to sit down and pull all the pins out of her lips and face. Also had a neighbor whose yellow lab ate a whole box of shotgun shells and lived.

And here is my contribution to what dogs eat. Bob my 90 pound pit bull one Easter managed to get the fresh out of the oven roast beef my wife had cooked. When the platter it the floor that got everyone's attention. And Bob hauled out for the living room. And he likes cat turds and cat food. Go figure. even the vet couldn't figure that one out. When we sit down and eat here comes Bob with his pinkish brown nose going about 600 miles per hour. And thanks for the reminder about toxic farts. They are so bad would make a funeral turn a corner. But we still like him. Frank

Many moons ago, as a young teen, I came home from school to find a freshly iced home made cake on the counter. Unfortunately, our pitbull had found it first. Mom had put it on a lazy susan so she could spin it while icing it. That worked perfect for Max. The cake turned as he licked, so he completely cleaned the sides of icing. What to do now?

Mom reapplied the icing.

I did not partake.

It was our inside joke for many years.

 

[wbraswell]

So, Caj, have you checked your scotch cache lately?

 

[Squarebutt]

Our springer spaniel loves butter. Any stick of butter left on the counter is fair game. One day she snagged and ate half a loaf of raisin bread. Having heard that raisins were bad for dogs, we took a ride to her vet's. The doc laughed and said she had given raisins to her dogs until she got the memo.

 

[jsami43]

I'll take the Lab.
