Pup is a thief. Not only does he steal shoes left at the door, dragging them with him under the kitchen or
dining room table, he is known for rooting inside an unzipped purse or back
pack. For a little dog, he has the nose of a blood hound and can sniff out
tasty treats. DD2 and friends ran over to the Walmart next to the high school
to get a snack after working on homework and before Show Choir practice. She
bought a bag of the Jack Links Pepper Jerky. She loves jerky, while I think
that is a funny thing for a 15 year old tiny girl to choose as a snack. Of course she didn’t just buy a stick, but
the larger packet, so had over half left, shoved in her back pack. She was in her room doing homework and I was
settling in bed when I heard a strange
rustling sound, followed by “Dang it Dog!” Sure enough, he had scoped out her back pack, found the jerky,
and ran into my room to hide it from her.
He was under my bed trying to get the jerky out of the package. I tried
unsuccessfully to get it away.
DH had an unexpected business
meeting over two hours away at the end of the day and walked in about 10:30. We
did the trick where we pretend someone is at the door. As much as he is a
thief, the pup never wants to be left out of greeting a guest or visitor. While
DH kept him occupied, I crawled under the bed to find the package. By then, he had gotten it open and had eaten
what was left in the package. During the night, he got me up twice to take him
out to the bathroom and refill his water dish. Yes, I imagine he was quite
thirsty after eating a man size portion or two of pepper beef jerky. DD2 was
quite mad along with being tired from her homework.
All was forgiven this morning
as he gave her his morning dose of love. Oh the breath though! Dog breath is bad
enough, but spicy pepper jerky breath on a dog, even worse. It is a good thing
DH is home today as I imagine he will be drinking several bowls of water, and
will need an extra work or two as he won’t poop in our yard-only on walks. The good thing
of the story, I found two missing shoes under my bed. Apparently under the tables aren’t the only
place he drags shoes.
This was a cute story. I bet that poor dog was thirty!!!! Don't even want to think about the other end. And I bet that he would do it all over again!
ReplyDeleteDH gets to deal with that. He is such a shit!
DeleteOh he is so cute tho who could be cross with him?
ReplyDeleteHence the love this a.m.
Deletewhew... Dog breath IS bad enough without being spicy to boot.
ReplyDeleteI know , right? You can't imagine how many times we say, "you're lucky you're cute!" to him.
DeleteI don't have that problem with our 2 cats as they are fussy about what they eat, however, we switched foods recently and the gas they had was unbelievably bad!!! But they are cute :)
ReplyDeleteWhat we don't put up with for our fur babies.
DeleteHe is gorgeous! Hope his thirst has abated now.
ReplyDeleteHe's pretty darn cute and seems back to normal.
