Percy is actually good about not taking from the counters or tables.
His weakness is empty toilet paper rolls. Apparently they are most addictive form of crack to mentally deficient greyhounds.
I love that guy to death. He knows it is wrong; he will hide after he has torn one up, or refuse to go into the room where he left the evidence. It might be 8 hours later before we find it, but he remembers, and knows he is trouble.
I’ve finally gotten half soft-hearted about it. I know he is addicted. I’ve taken more to scolding the kids for not properly throwing them away or leaving the bathroom door open.
I just consider ourselves fortunate that he hasn’t figured out how to unroll them himself.
Had a cat once who loved to do that.
It is REALLY hard to roll it back up but we were so broke in those days that is what we did, or tried to do.
