i have to keep activated charcoal on hand for when my dog manages to get something she isnt suppose to have

she waits and watches like some kind of Vulture..ready to swoop in when something falls on the floor

or waiting for the right time to snatch the sandwich out of my hand when sitting on the couch

yeah I am a bad dog owner...she isnt trained very well

My Cairn had the world backwards. He could hold it FOREVER while I walked him and the instant paws touched carpet he’d go. So I called in a dog psychiatrist. She watched us together and explained that I was trying to be his littermate. So she gave me domination exercises to do with him. I couldn’t do them. I fear in a contest of wills, dog wins.

My mom and dad had a miniature poodle who was one of the most worthless dogs to walk the earth, but dad had a soft spot for underdogs (literal and figurative). That dog never did give up trying to cadge forbidden "people food," and was called "the vulture" (or "el vulturo") when seen sitting there with head lowered and eyes fixed on the "carcass."

"The Vulture" did manage to drag a turkey off the kitchen counter one year after Thanksgiving dinner was over and we weren't paying attention. There was a lot of growling and cussing following the discovery... some of it from the dog, who was anything but repentant.

We call our greyhound “the alligator”. She lies stretched out pretending she’s asleep—just an innocent log in the stream. But if we leave food on the table unguarded, it will be gone before you know it. Greyhounds are quick (but you knew that) and tall enough to clear food off of an unwatched table or counter. Steaks, cornbread, butter all have fallen prey to her.
