Once on the way to work I picked up a dozen Dunkin donuts, set them in the passenger seat. English setter in the back seat, a big gentle lump of a dog. Left my keys on the counter at the register in the store, had to run back in and get the keys. Gone just a minute, ran in and out. When I got to work, picked up the box-no donuts, not a one, no crumbs, just an empty box. The dog didn't seem to have moved a muscle, but the donuts were gone.

I pasted this post into an email and sent it to my daughter (owner of Milo). She just replied:

"What a clever boy! He must have some border terrier in him."

What kind? I mean, raised? Easy! LOL

It kills me when the dog is siting exactly where he was, not chewing, not swallowing, all exactly as it was -- except the big plate of food is gone.

I swear this is true: My granddog Milo (in the picture with me in the "sort of fun" thread) was with us around the coffee table at my house when we were all eating submarine sandwiches, sitting on the floor. He looked up at the window and alert-barked until we all looked over there, and when we looked back he was chewing really fast. And innocently.

He has also alert-barked in his own house at the sliding glass doors until his sister jumped up and joined him in a bark-fest, then ran and took her chair.

Loki does this. I swear it is the only smart thing I have ever seen him do in his sweet little life. He manages to get the choice dog bed, bones, and toys from Nico, and even got my food one time.

Haha these stories crack me up. On time we were visiting my grandparents who had a sheltie and we had a cocker. I don't remember which one did it but one dog stole a chicken leg off of the table and when we tried to chase them down to get it he literally threw it in the air and the other dog caught it and ran off. We were tag teamed! Lol

I had to spend 1 night in the hospital several years ago after a procedure and my husband went out to dinner with a friend before coming to see me. Here's what he told me he found when they got back...

My springer, Joshie, and one of my cats, Babycakes, were the best of friends. We kept the dog cookies up on top of the refrigerator so that they couldn't be reached by any of them (so I thought). He said that when they walked in to the garage they could hear water running and his friend asked if he'd started some laundry before they left - no. When they got inside the faucet in the tub in the front bathroom was running and the empty box of dog biscuits was inside the tub and the top of the toilet tank had been knocked off and broken in half.

Here's what I surmised happened...

Babycakes got on top of the fridge and knocked the box on the floor for Joshie (they also used to do this with fish food). Joshie, knowing he'd be in trouble if he got caught, took the box into the bathroom and got in the tub to hide behind the sliding door and managed to knock the top off the tank (he had to get up on the toilet to get over into the tub) and somehow turned the water on while he hopped in.

And Joshie was lying on his bed sleeping like nothing had happened....

And now my beef jerky is missing! Wonder who is in cahoots this time???

I know a Pug who stands by the kitchen trash while his housemate Pug stands on his back to reach into the trash and toss stuff out.


Not my dogs, but I know them well. I am pretty sure that the big one acting as stepladder is the ringleader. I'd like to watch the meeting where he lays out the burglary plans.
