If I leave a loaf of bread on the table my Sheltie will pull on the table cloth until the bread falls. She ignores everything else that falls. When the bread hits the floor she goes to work. Now when I bring groceries in I put them on the bar. I do not know how to break her of that habit because she will never do it when I am in the room.

Ambitious pooch! I have a tag team: Winston the kat will knock most bread products from the counter or table to the floor. Then Vanilla the mixed small tan dog will tear the package or bag open, finally Chancho will come along and if it's up to his standards, he will dig in. Winston will not knock muffins down. He will eat those on the counter himself. He at 12 mini-muffins once.

I only know these things by piecing together snap shots in time and by stalking over immediately when I hear a suspicious noise.

Yes the cat could stand to be treadmilled. He gets really fat when he eats dog food - when we get a variety he doesn't like he loses weight quickly.

You want fries with that and tall cup of warm "lemonade"?


Dessert served in a cup, passed by two girls?
 
Our dog did this. With the advice of our vet, we used unflavored meat tenderizer sprinkled on his food. He stopped eating his poop.
 
I had a dog that ate a $10 bill once. Found it in one of his mines out in the back yard chewed in pieces. Thats one $10 bill that I never spent.
 
Helen,

Several years back we had what I think of as a once-in-a-lifetime dog, a Rotweiler. Entirely too smart, loyal, all the qualities one could ever hope for in a dog. One of his few undesireable traits though was gluttony. When full grown, but still immature he started rearing up on hind legs to get foodstuffs off of table. A baited mouse trap left on the table one night was two rooms away the next morning, but he never got food from table again. Mouse trap in recliner (with a thin cloth cover so he wouldn't recognize it) stopped the scratching on leather to make a "more comfortable" bed.

Can't even leave a set mouse trap now,,,our runt of a Yorkie would be permanently crippled!
