Adventures of Baddog
Ok, she looks sweet and innocent. You might even feel sorry for her when you see her gimping around the house. But, don't be fooled, for she is the Baddog.
This has been a stellar two weeks in the adventures of baddog. There was the bag of dried apples and the LARGE kitchen knife episode. Then, we had the perfume incident. Last night, I thought she pulled her final trick with the 4lbs of frozen chicken in the living room but I was wrong. This morning, upon my return from the gym, I found my container of breadcrumbs missing. Of course I found them quickly strewn about like confetti with baddog just lying there, pretending that she didn't understand why I was standing there.
See, that's baddog's true genius. She looks at you like she doesn't have a clue but really she's formulating her next mission. She may not sit or stay on command but she can figure out any treat filled puzzle you toss at her or, in the cases listed above, left on the kitchen counter. Proper motivation is baddog's m.o. and food is definately a proper motivator.
What will baddog do next....stay tuned!

Here's an idea - how about NOT leaving food out on the counter?
Seems kinda obvious to me...
1. Baddog doesn't even like apples so a sealed bag of dried apples didn't really set off any bells. (And, that one I forgot was in my bag; it wasn't on the counter.)
2. A knife drying at the side of the sink seems reasonable.
3. The chicken was thawing behind a bunch of other stuff; a common practice in our house. Obviously, from now on, all thawing items will go into the sink.
4. Breadcrumbs? Sealed and in the original grocery bag? Again, didn't think that would hold any interest.
Okay, what WAS the "LARGE kitchen knife episode"? I'm having difficulty imagining that even a dog would try to eat a knife.
And if you want to swap stories, I'll tell you sometime about bratcat; he doesn't even BOTHER to play innocent!
The LARGE kitchen knife incident wasn't that interesting, other than it involved a LARGE knife.
On morning mom strolled into the living room and found my bag of dried apples (Jane doesn't even like apples so no harm came to the bag or its contents) and a LARGE kitchen knife just a few feet away.
My theory is that Jane was having a tough time with the bag and wanted some help. What really happened? Dunno, Jane isn't talking.
