My first Dog Shaming...



I turned my back for literally 10 seconds, and my dog Logan snatched my turkey sandwich off the coffee table. He apologized later by kissing my nose, but his breath smelled like mayo (adding insult to injury ).

I could not stay mad at a pet with a face like that! He is adorable. I had a Doberman who stole a piece of banana bread off a paper plate on the kitchen table. Then he sat there, looking innocent, waiting for another piece!! I had to laugh.

Labs are not finicky, so they won't turn down a sandwich made with lots of fixin's. I know of a pair of labs that chewed the siding off a house.

Plus, they manage to snake food off any surface, no matter how high. I have to set my sandwich on top of the refrigerator or inside something like a microwave. They are lovable, but sneaky. "Better to ask for forgiveness than permission," is their motto.

She'll refuse high quality food with cheese and eggs just because she doesn't feel like it. So I don't envision her eating the side of a house.

Then again, she eats grass till she pukes, so who knows?!

Producers won't use labs for product testing because they'll eat anything.

Must be the rottie side of Ellie giving her discriminating taste.

Even some who don't. She just comes right up to sniff and lean with her little stub of a tail wagging.

I don't like the fact that they dock them, but my sister's Rottie used to wag her little stub and it was like she was wagging her whole body. She was so adorable. I think she was my favorite dog ever in my family.

Here is the latest pup in our family. She is a Swiss Mountain Dog. She is so sweet. I just adore her.

I love Swiss Mountain Dogs and Bernese Mountain Dogs. They don't know they are big. They think they are tiny lap dogs.

One time I went to the dog park and met a woman with a 7 month old BMD. At that point the puppy weighed 80 lbs, but she was convinced she was tiny. I was playing with her and mentioned how I would like to pick her up and hug her. Her owner told me she would love it, so I did! That BMD was in Heaven when I picked her up and cradled her.

You probably got the picture right there!

Turkey bones yes, but she drew the line at the cardboard chocolate box and wrappers.

Dogs will eat anything, Labradors are the worst pigs!

We think of dogs as carnivores. 'Scavengers' is more appropriate.

since both never would consider eating anything without my permission. I train them as puppies and I can put a piece of chicken (or anything) in the middle of the floor and go into another room for a while and the chicken would remain untouched. Maybe since I taught First Grade I have a special gift or an evil eye that works well. I am paying for my past successes now though. My dog refuses to eat anything and everything unless I trick her or pretend I want to eat it. It's a real pain in the ass now.

At least it was the grade of steak one puts Worstershire sauce on.

Also, it was a Bulldog so...

Stole the lunch from our painter last week.
He was outside painting our porch and the squirrel stole his sandwich, dragged it across our backyard for parts unknown.
Didn't even find the aluminum foil it was wrapped in.

He probably knows that if you leave a sandwich out in room temperature too long, the mayo can turn, and as a mere human, you could have gotten deathly ill from Salmonella.

You may have noticed that since you took ownership of Logan, no one in your family has contracted salmonella from food poisoning. Consider this a teachable moment.
