I wouldn't trust ME with leftovers ;) My dogs have better self control than I do

I'll never forget the day Glenn had just finished bringing the groceries in and had several bags on the kitchen floor. We have a system-I shop and he carries the bags in and puts everything away. We were standing in the kitchen and since he left the kitchen gate open Huggie Bear(my avatar) and Gracie Allen were also in the kitchen. I happened to hear rustling and looked to see Huggie Bear showing interest in the package of pork chops-then I saw that a pork chop was missing. Glenn and I simply couldn't believe she stole a pork chop and ate it while we were standing there. It seemed impossible that she could have devoured it that quickly. I scolded her and shooed her out of the kitchen. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Gracie Allen gobbling down the missing pork chop as fast as she could. To this day Huggie Bear still believes that after having been falsely accused I should have given her a pork chop. Nope-food is definitely NOT safe around the hounds.

Yes I can trust our pom. She " LOOKS" like she is on the heavy side but she is a light weight with lots and lots of fur. She really won't eat unless she is hand fed and I know we spoiled her because the first vet we took her to for a puppy check said we should put her down because she had a heart condition. She is 5 now and runs the house. Eats when hand fed and praised for doing that, only goes to the bathroom if someone is there to watch and praise her. Eating anything left out, no way there would be no one to tell her how great she is. :o

well dh learned not to trust my german shepherd yesterday... he had his deer hanging in the yard (he picked it up off the road, but that is a story for another day) while he worked, and after the kids went to bed he went to start butchering and realized she had been snacking on the hind end all day. she got most of one of the hind legs, and a few bites off the other. I found it fairly entertaining, but the poor thing has horrific gas right now and she sits under my desk all day.

in our early married days we had a great dane that cleared off the entire counter of christmas cookies while we were out, we were young and dumb.

My Yorkies, Booger and Wookie Doodle and my Pomeranian are absolutely not trustworthy around food. Even if they don't like it and ultimately won't eat what they sample, they just have to taste it.I wouldn't take a million dollars for any them! froggyintexas

I don't trust them any more than I do my husband. Put a note on it don't eat and he does...really messed up my bake sale contribution! My cat will drink my ice tea and loves sweets...so no, I don't trust my pets around food

I could NEVER trust either of my Westie with any food that they could grab, run and hide !!! Even if I was filling up with gas, I had to watch them carefully or the loaf of bread would be GONE IN 60 SECONDS !!!

my granddog is an eating machine. she has no sense of control, and is one of those dogs who would eat until she burst if she could. she is smart enough to have learned on her own that certain containers have edible contents, and will make the most of it. we've had our own dogs in the past (one border collie mix, later, a border collie) who both had brief careers as food thieves. they, however, were smart enough to learn the NO command, and abide by it. they could be trusted after they were taught. now, the grand dog? nope. she just gets sneakier and more creative. we even have to hide our cat's food when she comes over to visit. can't stay mad at her, though--she has a terribly engaging smile...

I know of someone who left their basenji in the car, and then paid $600 to get 2 new seatbelts

Our female Maine Coon will eat any bread/muffin et. If it's left on the counter. Also soft vitamin capsules! The male, Rocky has been caught licking the butter, any meat that is waiting to be cooked or while we're eating he will check out what we left on the counter! If nothing else, it keeps me consistant about keeping stuff put away. On the othr hand, sometimes I don't have to wash the frying pan because it's been licked clean! Just kidding! Lol
