ok, i got a smart dog. she is the most behaved creature when i am around. heels, sits, laydown...all the basics. i can leave food laying around and she wont even look at it. but lately, we have decided to leave her indoors during the day. the little b-itch will steal food off the counter. she has eaten everything we forget to put away, during the day. entire boxes of cookies, jalapenos (she just chewed them), apples... it would be sorta funny if our other dog didnt have pancreitis, which means human food can kill her, or make me poor. so any food she drags down is fair game in the feeding frenzy. we leave her indoors because the folks nextdoor opened a daycare and there are hellions running around, and my dog likes to dig under to play. my plan is to bait my pooch with some grahamcrackers placed on the counter. only this time i surrounded them with mousetraps. too cruel? i set one off with my hand and it only popped me. no real pain, but really scary. if this doesnt work, i am gonna open a mouse killing business.
