Mischief Monday - Made Man and Lady Liars

On Saturday the Man and I were going to be out over dinner time. The dogs had a nice walk in the morning and a late breakfast as we slept in. We were going to be out of the house from about 4-9 and because the pups dinner is usually at 6:30, I decided I would give them half their dinner around 3:30 and the other half when we returned.

While we were out, we talked about how good the pups had been overall, especially our girl. We haven't had much mischief to report.  Clearly we jinxed this because we came home to a mess.

As I walked into the kitchen I spotted this,


which led to this:



It seemed some starving dogs had gotten into the garbage while we were out. Our guess is we hadn't closed the cupboard fully so they could do this. Phod hid and Hailey stood there acting surprised. We are sure they are both guilty. 


Because they had clearly eaten garbage (a big piece of the poutine take out container was missing) they didn't get a second dinner. Fortunately, no one was sick after eating garbage.

Come back tomorrow for a funny eating story!

    That's the way dogs, show the hyoomans what happens when they think rationing will solve problems!!!

    Hyoomans - I had 'extra special' chews of the mega size which Jade adored... and only ever got when I was to be out beyond the norms This way she learned that a) I would be some time but that I would be back and b) I would be some time and this meant the chew was all hers for however long it lasted; which in both cases equalled c) mum will be gone some time, I've got heaven for my jaws and the house needs to be guarded till she gets back.

    Win-win. Then again, due to shifts, I did have regular out of ordinary departures, so the pattern could be set. If its not something you do too often, this could be tricky.

    Also, where would there be room for mischief? We like a bit of mischief after all!!! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

  3. that were that coyotes you heard a couple of days ago... they had a pawty in your house :o) I wonder that all furkids have no problems with eating garbage but get thunderstorms in their tummy after they got common dog food... a miracle :o)

  4. Clever pups, lulling you into a false sense of security. I guess for a dog there's nothing quite so delicious as trash, unless it's nuggets from the cat litter box.

  9. Young wolves eating human garbage is the way the dog eventually became our best friends. They are just replaying history

  13. WHAT! Obviously you have squirrels in your attic and they are blaming the dogs--poor starving things. We always get fed about 3:30...just when all those kids walking home from school go past, so we don't bark.

  16. No, no it was not you two. Obviously, S.O.D (someotherdoggy) had come to visit you, just like he sometimes comes to visit the three bestest maremmas in all the land and gets Us into trouble.

  19. My nephew's hound mix pulled over the stove last week while they were out to get a cake they had left cooling inside. As they said who knew you needed an anti-tip device for the stove because you had a dog. And the cake was a dog birthday cake but was meant for 4 dogs not just one.

  20. We often do the same thing if we'll be gone over dinner time, half before we leave, half later. Clearly that is not an acceptable routine, but I don't think we ever had a revolt over it! :)

  21. Unless there is video we think it was an intruder!

  22. Too bad there isn't a cat around any more that the pups could have blamed the mess on. We're just glad there wasn't anything in the trash that could have harmed anyone.

  24. Eating garbage is so naughty. I am too tiny to reach the garbage (or just about anything), so barring an unusual growth spurt, I will never be able to enjoy such a fun night home alone.
