I'm gonna murder my lab pup one of these days ! She has just finished scoffing five fresh caught mackerel given to me by a neighbour. She also managed to get into her next dinner and ate all of that too ! She is constantly on the prowl for anything within reach on tables or even on window ledges. Non food items she "delivers" to me .....usually . The main exception to this is gravel from my garden ......she eats gravel ! We see it again when it comes out the other end .

She is also a very accomplished pick-pocket , she raids any pockets she can get to and does it so sneakily that she is very seldom caught in the act. Many times now she has presented me with articles from the pockets of the trousers or jackets I happen to be wearing as I sit at this computer. I never knew they'd been filched until she gave them back to me.

If she thinks she will be getting her next meal she is badly mistaken. I'm waiting to see what five mackerel and a load of kibble and a wee bit of tripe does to her guts !

Sounds like a typical greedy Lab.

She is !

My teenager dumped his stuff in the hall as per usual and carelessly left one of two duck in Hoi sin sauce tortilla wraps in his bag, which my GSP duly ferreted out and brought down the hall to me in the living room with not a mark on it, delivered beautifully to hand, just a bit of slobber. on the other hand she kills cats Figure that!

You cannot leave it there - we all want to know if you put it back without telling your son or if you fessed up.

I gave her a pigs ear as a reward and put it in the bin, though it really wasnt that bad ... was almost tempted, but then Ive seen her enthusiasm for a green cow plop, so much though I love a lick from my dog on the hand, we're not sharing mouth slobber!
