it's probably best to keep the bread out of reach....just sayin'....

Came home to guilty looking Pooh with the remnants of the loaf of bread I just bought....not to mention last he got hold of the box of cheerios that someone left on the counter.

Guess I'll keep the Benadryl handy...maybe we'll be grain free next month.

Naughty Pooh! Stay out of the grains.

[tramdoctorsss]

Gosh, this sounds totally familar!
My two girls have a bad habit of counter surfing for food my husband leaves too close to the edge.

I will never again buy 4 dollar loaf of bread because it looks good and is brand name.

why?

the day I bought it home it was gone.



Talk about being ticked the next day when I could not find my bread to make a sandwich only to find out my husband threw away the package to prevent me from finding out about it.
come on...I know I didn't misplace the bread!

men!



good post concerning keeping the bread away from your dogs, this includes giving medication as well. If mine will not let me shove it down their throats, a hot dog or cheese will suffice even though they LOVE bread.

Better than walking into the kitchen to find you're freshly delivered pizza box EMPTY. Socrates once wolfed down my BF's hawaiian calzone with hot peppers and blue cheese (yea...don't ask). Apparently he has a stomach like a rock because it didn't affect him at all.

Oh I know your husbands sadness.. My Dane ate our entire dinner one night. I am pregnant and really had to pee, so I left our dinner Cube Steaks on the counter, to only come back from my triumph relief to find our entire dinner devoured!!!!! Needless to say we went out to eat.. and my Dane slept like a baby for the rest of the night although I was terrified she was gonna get sick and that she ate them too fast and she might have flipped her stomach and bloat and all that worry.. We went to the vet the next day just to make sure she was okay.... Yep Tummy was just full with our delicious dinner..

A friend of mine had a gorgeous black lab as a foster. It took her a while to realize that bagels were not safe on the counter. The first time, the lab ate a few of them. The next time, the lab brought one to my friend, sat down, and dropped the bagel like "here, I brought this to you!". She said it was tough to get upset because it was so funny, but that she was going to have to start putting them in the cabinet.

I brought home groceries one day and one bag had a jar of peanut butter and a bag of flour. I left the bags on the table and ran out to move my car, maybe gone 5 minutes. I come back in the house and Freida greets me at the door foaming at the mouth! My first thought was, what kind of poison could she have gotten into?? Then I thought maybe she got into a bar of soap?? I stuck my finger in her mouth and it was pasty white stuff. I look over at my bags of groceries and she had bitten into the bag of flour (A 5 DOLLAR bag of flour) She was licking her lips and was very upset... I had to use a wet paper towel to get all the flour out of her mouth.

I wonder if she smelld the Peanut butter and was trying to get into it.... I put my groceries away first now!

Hawaiian calzone with hot peppers and bleu cheese? That sounds like heart burn waiting to happen! yuck! LOL.

I have a counter surfer as well, and I always know when he's up to no good....he wanders into the kitchen and if I don't hear water being lapped up, I know he's in there causing trouble!! Needless to say after he ate an entire plate of freshly cooked, greasy bacon off the counter and spent the day puking his little heart out, we try really hard to remember not to leave food on the counter anymore. Ugh. He's such a bad dog sometimes but what can ya do. I made boyfriend have vomit duty that day...his fault he left bacon out! LOL.

I am so glad Abby does not do any of that Marlo would but he is to small to get to things on the counter

[kucheravka]

Lol I raise feeder mice and they eat lab block, which is pretty much all corn and other grains, Nero will run around hoovering them up if I drop one, really makes you wonder why I bother with grain free kibble, apparently he'd rather eat meat free lab block.

[EbrsaRynleot]

I hope Santa Paws doesn't find out about that. LOL

In all seriousness, it happens. Us humans leave something we shouldn't within reach and they get into it. I hope he doesn't get all itchy. Poor Pooh. I bet he enjoyed it while it lasted though.


After my daughter was born my mother spent the week with us to help out. And I was going to eat a spicy pepperjack tornado. (Its a microwavable snack and it is really spicy but I also put hot sauce on it) and my mom just laid it on the coffee table until I could get to it. My dog Trouble took that opportunity and ran with it, litterally he swiped the snack and I found him behind the couch eating it, almost completely gone. That boy had the runs and a tummy ache for 3 days. He learned his lesson though, he quit stealing food after that. Sasha amazingly is smart enough to leave spicy stuff alone.

bwhahaha i love this phrase, "hoovering them up". All I can do is picture a dog with a mouth, open and wide like a vaccuum cleaner!! haha. But, i know how you feel. I have a little "hoover" myself. hehe.

No kidding. It also sounded like diarrhea waiting to happen but nope, not my dog

Archie is not much of a counter surfer, thank goodness. But here is a video link of how to train your dog to stop counter surfing. Looks like it might be effective.

My chocolate lab will eat ANYTHING! To list a few...
- an entire german chocolate cake
- two full loafs of bread
- half of a ham dinner ( caught him runningaround with the bone )
- an entire order of hot wings and half of a pizza
- ant traps
- dirty baby diapers out of the trash (gross I know)
- a whole easter basket including wrappers

Needless to say, these are only a small portion of what he's gotten into. I'm hoping one day my family will catch on...stop leaving stuff out! Funny enough he has never touched his large bag of dog food thatsits right on the floor! So far no medical emergencies...*knocks on wood*

That video is a pretty good idea lol.

And this is why the only food that's within dog reach is a bag of potatoes.

Although I do catch Ethel putting her giant head on the counter or table, and staring at food, mentally willing it to come closer to her. She's too lazy to hop up and get it thankfully.

Your boyfriend can thank Socrates for saving him from diarrhea.
