Dog moment from last night

[QC]

Not-Your-Average-Polar-Bear (Bear) had a curious time last night. I went to bed a little earlier (and quicker) than usual as Mrs. QC said "are you coming to bed or are you gonna stay up and play with your friends". She was referring to all of you . . . Doh!!<br /><br />Anyway, I didn't get the ribs we had for dinner put away, and I left Bear in the younger boys' bedroom. He usually sleeps in our room for reasons that will be obvious in a moment. Sometime during the night, Bear found his way downstairs and had his way with the remnants of dinner. When I woke up and headed downstairs to get coffee, he was asleep in our room where he belongs. Mrs. QC had literally got the carpets cleaned yesterday and Bear had finished up the ribs in the dining room. Red smears and bone pieces everywhere . . . Doh!! #2<br /><br />Here's the weird part. He also found a full but open can of Almond Roca. Normally he will eat candy and spit out the foil, but he had taken two pieces and deposited them in the boys' room and he left one in our room for us. I am positive this took him three trips up and down the stairs, because there were no teeth marks or slobber on the perfectly wrapped pieces of Almond Roca. I literally think he was making a peace offering. <br /><br />Latest in a continued string of amazing stuff from this one. Please share yours. Dogs just blow my mind. <br /><br />

My yellow lab, Jack, once ate an entire half of an extra large pizza from Papa Murphy's (big pizza). He tried to sneak past us with a muffin in his mouth once. He held it way back in his mouth without chewing and looked the other way as he passed. Sneaky bugger, but smart.

That one above likes car rides and he also used to cruise the neighborhood lookin' for chicks <br /><br />I got a call from a neighbor that is two Cul-de-sacs over and down a block. He had jumped through the open driver's window of an Astro Van parked in their garage She found him just sitting there; I guess waiting for a ride.

Re: Dog moment from last night

When I let my dog in at night he has to sleep over by the door where there's no carpet because he's usually dirty. He of course wants to come sit by me on the carpet. He gets up really slow when he thinks I'm not looking and stays as low to the floor as he can while he tries to sneak over. If I look at him he stops and turns his head like he thinks I can't see him...and if I look away he continues. I just can't yell at him because it's too funny to watch...he must think when I'm watching TV that I can't see anything else. The whole time his nails are making all kinds of noise on the tile floor...<br /><br />I sneak up on him too, but he never notices until I scare the s*** out of him.

Re: Dog moment from last night

Went over to friends shop a few years ago. He standing there trying to figure out what all had been stolen the night before. <br />He then looked at his Great Dane gaurd dog and says "and where were you when this was going on?"<br /><br />She walks around the building then come trotting back with three or four Styrofoam (empty ofcourse) meat containers from Safeway! And layed them at his feet. <br />Looks at him as if to say:<br />See I was eating the meat they threw over the fence!<br /><br />We both got a good laugh out of that!<br />

The clicking toenails...reminds me of my sweet ol' Didi. She was something else! One day I saw her in my grandmother's kitchen trying to sneak up on the cat (and I know she had no evil intent, she just wanted to get close to the cat to check him out), her toenails clicking loudly on the floor. The cat happened to be facing me, and the look on the cat's face was priceless. Whan I see a cat looking like that, I know he's thinking, "man, what an unbelievable dumb***!"<br /><br />These days we have a Siberian Husky, and he's a t-r-i-p! Stacks food dishes, puts toys in them to carry them around the backyard, and other crazy stuff. Sometimes I find a food bowl turned upside-down with a ball or something under it. He is definitely wired a little different!

Re: Dog moment from last night

I made lunch one day and set it on the end table by the door. When I went to let the dog out, he grabbed half the sandwich as he went by. It was all one swift motion, I almost didnt see it.<br /><br />First stepmother used to have a little dog that ran around with rawhide chews in her mouth like a cigar, whining away. She was looking for a place to hide it. You would find those things in the strangest places. If she saw you find it, the whole routine would start all over. That was so fun to watch.

Re: Dog moment from last night

LOL @ these, great!!<br /><br />I've posted this one here before, but I think it is worth repeating. That one up there likes to poop up on top of things. I swear if I had a year I could teach him to use a toilet. Anyway, I have watched him go up to the end of our street and poop on top of a hedge at a neighbor's house. We're friendly with this neighbor, but she hates the woman next door. So she's telling me more about why she can't stand this other lady and says "ya know, this is getting so bad that she is taking here dog's poop and putting it on my hedge with a shovel". I just couldn't bring myself to tell her. Let the two Mrs. Cravitzes figure it out . . .

Re: Dog moment from last night

My dog gets into the fridge and eats any meat in there. She does it once every month or so, and no I don't starve her. She eats better than I do. To resolve this, I started putting my meat in the bottom crisper drawer so even if she opened the fridge she couldn't get it. Well she'd still get into the fridge but couldn't get the meat in the drawer. This worked for 2 years. About a month ago, I come home and the fridge is wide open with the crisper drawer laying in the middle of the kitchen floor and my bacon is gone. She took the whole thing out!! Right after that I went and bought a strip of velcro to use on the fridge doors. Thats the only thing that I won't miss about my dog when she's gone.

Re: Dog moment from last night

When I got out of the army I went to live with my brother in a second story studio. He had a police trained german shepard who was very smart. My brother was too busy to spend much time with the dog, so I took the dog everywhere I went, just about. She obeyed me, and pretty much considered me her master, not my brother.<br /> One evening, I was playing with her, and I decided to see how obedient she really was. I opened the window, and told her to go to the window. She did without hesitation. I told her to jump, and gave the hand signal to jump. She looked out the window, turned to look at me with her ears up and that quizical look on her face, as if to say,"are you sure?" wimpered a bit then turned back to the window and hunched down, to get ready to jump. I stopped her, and she looked so relieved that she didn't have to jump! <br /> Another time, I took her up to the church my family attended, where they had a huge grassy area, to let her run. My brother told me she hated black people, but I thought he was just kidding. Anyway, she spotted this black guy who worked in the church office, who was a family friend. He was a long distance away, but she charged him. I was yelling at her to stop, but she wouldn't. The black guy was petrified, and was begging me to call her off. I yelled at him to turn around and face her(he was running away from her) and to yell " Chauncy, down! He did, and she slowed down. She was almost at him, and was obviously confused that he knew her name and was giving her a familiar command. The obedience training kicked in, and she stopped, but continued to growl at him. I got there and put her back on her leash, and apologized to the guy for scaring the carp out him! That was the last time she was ever unleashed anywhere in public! <br /> This was back in Oakland Ca, and I'm assuming most of the time she saw duty as a police dog it involved black people, so she was inadvertantly conditioned to attack blacks. But other than that, she was a great dog. The best dog I ever had. I felt like I lost a good friend when my brother gave her away.<br /> I wish I could get a dog now, but I can't. My daughter has asthma and is alergic to pet dander. My wife thinks it would be cruel to leave the dog in the backyard permanently, and I can't convince her otherwise, so it's no pets at my house except for tropical fish.

Re: Dog moment from last night

I just caught the dog digging last night's ribs out of the garbage. He didn't hear me walk up, so I watched him for a second. All I had to do was clear my throat and he went running off with his tail between his legs.

Re: Dog moment from last night

Man, you guys make me wish I had a dog. I'm gonna go feed my guppies.

Re: Dog moment from last night

Yeah Z, Bear is still hangin' his head around me. I just kinda point toward the place where he ate the ribs and he cowers. It is sooo pitiful. Then I have to get down on my knees and tap on the floor and he sloooowly walks over with his tail goin' 90 miles an hour and his head kinda to the side. Our other one, Maggie, just looks over like "what did he do now? Whatever it is, don't wake me up."

Re: Dog moment from last night

Frog (my dog) has been a little sneak since the day we got her. We brought her home along with one of those endless water bowls that have the sparklets bottle attached. She LOVED that. Since she loves to dig and she loves water.... she would "dig" in the bowl until the entire kitchen floor was flooded with two gallons of water. Then she would lay down in the middle of it, proud as can be! We called it lake Frog.<br /><br />Her really big trick (the one my wife hates) is figuring how to get on the bed without waking my wife.Frog waits until my wife has been in bed for about 20 minutes and then comes over and sniffs my wife. If my wife doesn't respond, Frog puts her left/front paw on the bed and freezes. She waits a minute or so. No response from wife... She puts her right/front paw on the bed... freezes... no response from wife... left/rear paw... freezes... at this point the dog looks hysterical, balanced with only one leg on the ground... again, Frog freezes...then somehow, miraculously, she pulls the fourth paw up on the bed without shaking the bed. Every morning, my wife wakes up with Frog cuddling her back. I, of course, act like I have no clue how it happened. Darn dog tricked us both!<br /><br />

Re: Dog moment from last night

Frog and Frog,<br /><br />That's exactly how Bear gets in a chair. He is not sneaking, but that same one paw at a time thing. The last one goes up sooo delicately and he waits on three until . . . he is absoutley positive nothing is gonna slip.<br /><br />When we're sittin' on the couch, he'll come over and start with the one paw at a time thing, slowly he climbs all the way up on top of me until he can lay his head on my shoulder. I call it "climbing Mt. Dad".<br /><br />I love the water dig thing too. Maggie does that, but she doesn't do it in the house My wife would freak. She gets worked up over one ice cube melting on the floor

I am now conviced after 2 weeks with Sam, that ALL labs are blonde. Talk about 'moments'. LOL There have been plenty around here lately and they're not mine.

Re: Dog moment from last night

Yup, LF, I am convinced they seem like blonde's because they are pretty close to that intelligence level . . .
