People like your son, my daughter and us and Arda and her crew and every member of this board is what life is all about. People are always telling us we are crazy for having this many animals ( and I didn't list them all ). But I wouldn't have it any other way and I know my husband or my children wouldn't either. But then I have others' who call us special, I don't think we are special, I think we just do what is right.
I also had to control counter surfer Tessa, who tried to get everything as well, she was eventually locked out of site of the kitchen. Then she was made to do a trick for a treat. It worked out nicely.

Peanut, you barked at your Dad??
It's me, Peanut, don't you recognize me?
*bark?*
What in the world are you doing coming in the back door? I don't know if I have ever seen you come in the back door. I am usually with you. How did you get to the store without me? How did you get out of the house unnoticed? What is going on here????? Are we off our schedule????? AAAAAAAAAaaaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!??????
*oof*
I protest.

Look I found a 19 squeaker toy for 75% off!

That isn't so bad. I would rather them love the animals than kick them like I have seen so many other kids do. Compassion, empathy and love.......glad we all have it.
Amen. My husband came home with two beagles . . . 4-year-old male, 8-year-old female. That makes 4 dogs, 2 cats, 5 horses. God Bless them all.
Grindle is right in there with the counter-surfing group. Try as I might, occasionally I have a brain lapse. I had taken a pumpkin pie out of the oven, and put it on the back burner to cool. Something distracted me (probably my husband calling me from the driveway outside). When I returned, no pie in sight. I mean NO PIE in sight . . . no crumbs, just an empty pie plate.
So don't feel badly, you're not alone.
Here's to a great new year, with hope and compassion on the horizon.

The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated ... I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man.

Dogs don't know about beginnings, and they don't speculate on matters that occurred before their time.
Dogs also don't know-or at least don't accept-the concept of death.
With no concept of beginnings or endings, dogs probably don't know that for people, having a dog as a life companion provides a streak of light between two eternities of darkness

I have left it on the low glass table and only had to say this certain "Lex dont eat it" walk away and do something, she never not once.. never touched the food...
Once I had a "pan " of stir fry that was just set on the counter from the stove top.. chicken and pineapples and veggies in it.. I went outside and a neighbor kept me out there for a good 20 mins longer or so... when I came in she had jumped up and got into it..spilling it all over the counter...
I was worried more than mad as it had, peppers and onions in it... .. the only time she stole food..
now the filthy, soggy, gross , squirrel spit, mangled from someone garbage bagle pieces that she would discover in the backyard dropped from those dam squirrels..... those were her treasure...
oh the memory of getting a few of those out of her mouth........eeek, gross I am making a face remembering right now...eeek.
