never leave a bacon sarnie unattended - learnt the hard way lol >:(
-
;D ;D Been there, got the empty plate.
-
My two youngest Labs are nearly a year old and I cannot have anything unattended, they love toilet roll especialy but made me mad when they insist on taking huge ice blocks into thier bed, they also took some coal that had been delivered, I told Steve not to leave it hanging around. Some years ago I set out a buffet, our pup Rottie cross, walked buy and helped themselves to a ham roll!!!
-
sandy can they now wipe their arse and did you not know that is what lab,s are supposed to do well the ones on the telly do
-
my choc lab ate 12+ pairs of wellies and shoes in his 1st 2 years! we still have to put our shoes on porch window-sill just incase. but the sarnie thief was our gsd, her tongue can reach table without her looking guilty. lol :farmer:

My first dog was a witch, according to my Mother - she 'magicked' a piece of liver meant for my Dad's tea, off the plate, which was in the middle of the kitchen table, off the table and into her mouth. This was at a time of post war food shortages.
-
many a dog got a beatting for that
-
Our 14 week old Lab has a tendancy to schnaffle anything that's not nailed down & can get into the kitchen bin without making a noise :o
Caught her about an hr ago walking along the dining table looking pleased as punch with herself after scoffing MY lunch :-\
-
something about sailing through the air springs to mind
-
Nah, only growled at her, but she knew she was in the wrong
She's still lying in her bed :D
-
funny how dogs sense your anger ours try to hide when the shouting starts

My English Bull terrier ate a 2kilo bag of frozen sardines. My lurcher ate The meat from three rabbits and three wood pigeons, I had just spent the last half hour taking off the bone. He also swiped a one pound block of cheddar straight out of the shopping bag (must be the pikey in him). My fox terrier ate a live grass snake, it was still moving down to the last inch. Don't you just luv 'em

Ha! When I was a kid Rob my springer cross stole the bacon out of the frying pan while we were camping at Lendlefoot. All gone whilst cooking. My dad had to leave us in the tent and walk about 6 miles and back to shop..... very pleased was he!
Even worse, our very recently late Dalmation Charlie (rescue of course) stole frozen salmon steak from worktop... not a trace.... a few weeks later a whole frozen Pizza AND box.... culminated in workmen's bacom and egg rolls - all THIRTEEN of them gone before they realised - rsult bloated and stomach pumped - £400!!!!!
When we lived in small town he always forced us to take his route on Saturday and Sunday mornings ---- he knew exactly where the tykes had thrown chip wrapper - and if he was lucky, after a fight with me, the chicken remains. Once he hit gold - a full pack of sandwiches inside THREE bags - ripping them open whilst running and eating at the same time - amazing feat!!!

Labs are so prone to stealing food...I made some turkish delight once and had it on the table in the lounge, saw the guest off and came back to an empty plate with the Lab still in front of the fire with Turkish Delight on her wiskers!!!
-
My son was here on Sunday to help with some jobs. We had a sandwich each and there were two halfs left over on the plate. My big girl Hester is prone to snapping at the rescue puppy we are looking after at the moment so she had her muzzle on. Would anyone like to tell me why the plate was empty when we came back through 5 minutes later and she was lying exactly where she was when we left and in exactly the same position - lolling on the big armchair, head lolling to one side, and front legs crossed, with a 'wasn't me, Mum' look about her ::)
-
Ah, I had a bacon sarnie on a plate - sat on the bench outside in the summer (ahh, miss those mornings)
and Nigel (dog) was sat so perfectly, then went to give paw. On the plate. Plate and sarnie down - Bacon sarnie on muddy ground. Didn't fancy it after that. But i picked it up and put it away for a couple of hours before letting them eat it.
I think if I let them have it, they would figure out that's a good way of getting food.

I'd check out the tummy on the puppy..... or look for a hidden liquidiser and straw kit (most dags have 'em, we just never find them. If you are looking for born sneaky, clever-than-me-by-far thieves try ferrets! Absolutely unbelievable - and I am serious - they beat me every time and can get anywhere and move anything. I know you won't believe it but yesterday opened the bedroom door (magnet catch) BUT the door was locked by a pack of 12 winalot cans - you know, the packs from supermarkets...... amazed to see it had been pushed back a full six inches. >:( - found ferret in bed, centre, on electric blanket under duvet :o.... mind you it is in a freezing caravan so I don't blame her! ;)
-
I know it wasn't the puppy, he was with us. Hester was left in the lounge thinking she couldn't snaffle the sandwiches, but you are right she must have a liquidiser and straw tucked in her beard! lol (She's a German Wirehaired Pointer, I don't breed them, just the Brittanys for 30 years) I certainly won't be getting any ferrets, these beasts are bad enough! ::)
-
gwp are gorgeous, im sure she denied it ::)
-
Of course she did. At 13 and a half there's no way she'll admit to ANYTHING! ;D And she's always the first one out with the beach towel! ;)

When I was young living at home we had 2 labs that one night chewed through the plaster board wall into the WC and made the way into the kitchen and cleared the table of all the goodies mum had just baked for my sisters birthday party. Saying they were in the dog house was an under statement. Dad fixed the wall and put battleship lino on the bottom of the walls to stop them coming through again. But as they grew Sam learnt how to open the door to the kitchen, they came in and ate the chicken on the counter and then decided to have a play and put the fronts of 3 unit doors through. I was really nervous of ever having puppies myself but touch wood I have never had a problem pup or a chewer and the most that has happened with mine is my GSD now and again will steal a sweety from the bowl if I have forgot to put them back on the table

my gsd can open doors too. but its our lhaso apso thats got the sweet tooth, just got to rustle the paper and hes there like a shot!
