My current springer is a counter surfer, and bin raider. We were warned when we got him at 3 years old, but as we have a touch top bin, we weren't too bothered. The horror bag has learned how to open it by watching us.
The other day I left part of a cucumber on the work surface, pushed far enough back that I thought he couldn't get it. Half an hour later, I thought he's a bit quiet, sure enough he'd managed to get the cucumber off the side and had taken it into the back garden, taken the wrapper off and bitten chunks out of it. I wouldn't have minded so much, but he doesn't even like cucumber, he always spits it out...Good enough is good enough, and I am more than good enough!:j
If all else fails, remember, keep calm and hug a spaniel!0 -
One of our German Shepherds used to help herself to dog food, she worked out how to open the ring pull and get the lid off. The most she ever had was 3 in one go. She could open doors as well so we had to put child locks on all the kitchen cupboards.I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.

I remember my old Nan had a dog called Brownie (yeah, he was brown...!) and he raced into the house one day with a string of sausages in his mouth like you see in the cartoons.
The irate butcher was in hot pursuit and hammered on my nan's door to complain.
She informed him that hers was a Catholic household and therefore her dog would never touch meat on a Friday (the church rules at that time forbade eating meat on Fridays)
The butcher stormed off and my nan retrieved the few uneaten sausages from the dog, washed them and served them up for tea!
LOL this is great, maybe nan was in on the plan :T0 -
This reminds me of when we were on holiday in Cornwall years ago. The weather was quite bad so we decided to go to the supermarket and buy some food so that we could have a nice dinner inside our holiday cottage.
We were unable to park outside the front of the cottage so it meant unloading the shopping first and then my husband parking the car along the road. I remember taking a couple of carrier bags and depositing them on the doorstep and then going back for the remainder. As I reached into the boot for the shopping both kids starting laughing. When I looked up a large dog had raided our shopping and was legging it along the road with our ready cooked chicken in its mouth. Its one of those things that sticks in your mind.The forest would be very silent if no birds sang except for the birds that sang the best0 -
I stopped on a walk with Max to chat to a lady who was out with her toddler. Toddler was delighted with Max, and petted him and talked to him while his mummy and me chatted.
Then we heard screams . . . . . . . . .
Max has stolen the poor boys chocolate biscuit, and the wee man wanted it back.:j got married 3rd May 2013 :beer:0 -
My favourite story of my beloved Jeff (passed away last week) happened about 4 years ago.
Was sitting down with my family to watch Forrest Gump (side note: for the first time, Step-dad ruined the ending for me!!).
My mum poured a small glass of Baileys, popped it on a coaster by the sofa and went for a cigarette. She came back to an empty glass and a very drunk dog! :rotfl:
It was the funniest thing ever, he couldn't climb onto his dog bed, which was a big (but not massively thick) pillow.
Oh, I miss him..
Sorry for your loss, Lulu. The hurt will eventually fade, but the memories won't. RIP Jeff.0 -
Ok, its not the crime of the century, but two of my dogs believe my new fluffy slippers are actually dog toys, despite being told repeatedly they are my slippers. When I wear them the little dog looks at me reproachfully as if I have stolen his toys. The middle sized dog is more tactful, but continues to try and 'reclaim' what she feels is clearly dog property.
This sort of thing is not a norm for them, so maybe I just chose particularly doggy slippers.0 -
Where to start....?
I've one dog who years ago found out how to open my rucksack to see if I'd left any of my packed lunch in there. I thought I was going mad at this food going missing until the day I saw him open the zip and take out a bag of crisps.
Another dog who would steal any chocloate lying arond, even if unopened - on one occasion, a 150g bag of maltesers and a 150g bag of minstrels in one go (fortunately no harm done). This dog also found an unopened 12 pack of cat food and settled down to eat them on our bed. On our unmade bed. On our brand new £1,000 mattress. We cleaned it as much as possible but the stains couldn't be shifted.
But the worst dog has to be the youngster we have now. About to turn 2, some of his highlights to begin with include; smashing bowls on the floor while trying to steal food of the kitchen side, tipping over the wheelie bins to see what's inside, helping himself to an entire box of dentatix.
More seriously he has; killed and eaten one of my hens who escaped from the run, chewed the wire to the sensor bar on the Wii and chewed the power cable to my laptop (while I was using it!).
However his crowning glory was ripped out the footboard on a three seater sofa, ripping open a cushion so he pull out springs and padding from it and destroying the arm on the two seater sofa. Despite the sofa being insured, because I stated he claim and took pictures before he'd finished his rampage, when the assessor came out for a look, mor damage had been done and we were only covered for one claim of pet damage, so they wriggled out of paying up forcing us to spend £2,500 on replacing to furniture.0 -
Where to start: between my own dogs and the rescue dogs i have fostered over the years and still do for Paws 4 Rescue UK!
Within the last year: Brand new panel fencing up last year, 2 weeks later a 2x3ft hole was chewed out of one of them!
Mothers wooden garden bench is now missing an arm and several back spindles.
Fridge door is held tight with a bungy after too many raids and last time they decided to eat the door seal as well.
Any paper is game whether kitchen, loo rolls or boxes of tissues.
Far too many dog beds and blankets, inc one Xmas i treated them to 3 very posh and lovely deep duvet beds £30 each - lasted a month so that was the last bed treat they ever had.
A football size hole from the side of my new bed mattress.
The liner of a dog crate by a foster dog with extreme anxiety separation so also pulled apart the bottom of the living room door and ate the plaster board off the wall!
Bread out of the toaster is the newest food theft this month, the joys of having a dog with spring legs to leap on worktops (toaster is on top of microwave on top of worktop!)
Hundreds more to list, but this is the most recent lol.
And the horses have eaten the top away of my car steering wheel when i left the window open in the field when i went out riding!0
