Counter-surfing and other cute Duncan exploits
I know you can see where this is going. 
While I'm out of the room, Duncan goes to the pantry and gets the large Milk Bone box and manages to open one of the flaps. Then, he carries it by the flap to the patio door, waiting to go outside to eat his Milk Bones!  BTW, he also did this with a loaf of bread. 
Now, I remember to close the pantry doors. However, his two-legged 17 year old sister didn't last night when she got home after a late marching band performance. She eats; leaves the pantry doors open; takes a shower and goes to bed. My husband and I are in bed watching TV, and Duncan is in the living room. Our door is mostly closed, and it's quiet. Not less than two minutes later, I hear Duncan's paws on the hardwood floors, and I get up. There's Duncan in the kitchen, looking at me. His eyebrows are being very Snoopy-like, and he is saying, "What?!?!?!? I'm not doing anything. Just checking stuff out."
Duncan came to bed with us after I closed the pantry doors! |

| What a polite thief you have! |
| Duncan is quite the character. |
I'm lovin Duncan  |
| Last night to our best calculations, our latest addition Sky managed to get up on the counter remove plastic film over a pan of lasagna and eat the top layer within about 2 minutes or less. And she did it so subtly that my husband had to ask me if the dogs had gotten into his supper because the lasagna was virtually undisturbed except that the top layer that should have had cheese all over it was just a flat noodle and the film was no longer over the pan.
Sneaky sheepies indeed! |

Sneaky sheepies indeed! "Duh, I forgot to replace the plastic film" They would never have noticed otherwise. |
| quite possibly true! |
| That top layer is the best part
This afternoon I was making PBJs for lunch and instead of taking a plate to the sandwiches I decided to take the sandwiches to the plates. First sandwich made it, the second didn't arrive whole. Jack had intercepted it half way and yanked off the top. Gone in 2 seconds.  I bellowed, "Get out of my kitchen" where upon he ran to the back of the house......for about 3 minutes. Slowly he crept back into the kitchen, eyes pleading, "I'm sorry, but have you finished your sandwich yet?" |
| My daughter's cat loves dog cookies. When she hears the dog treat jar open, she is in the kitchen in a flash. And on the counter, which is a non-no. Dog food isn't good for cats, because it doesn't contain taurine, which the cats can't make but need for digestion - so she will only be given a very small crumb of the cookie.
Harper will sneak into the pantry if given any chance, because she discovered the box of dog cookies on the bottom shelf. She figured out how to chew a hole in the box and knock it over to get to the cookies. The moment Harper starts sharing with the dogs, we are doomed. Ben knows how to open the pantry door.... |

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it may not require sharing. My siamese figured out how to open the pantry door himself. At first I thought that DH or I had failed to close it properly until the cat got cocky and opened it in front of me. It's a built in pantry with a slight step up into it, he lay on the floor and used all 4 feet to pull the door open. Then he climbs the shelves till he gets to the dog treats and tips the container off the shelf so that the lid flies off. If I wasnt home piggy boy would just sit in the bottom of the pantry and feast. I wished I had a video camera after I put the new stronger magnets on the pantry door. The poor cat lay on the floor for ages trying to get the door open. He got so desperate he was pulling himself up and down the floor under the pantry door on his back trying to get it open. |
| My pup, Reggie has successfully eaten the following:
an entire bag of Reece's Peanut Butter Cups (my husband and I were noticing tinfoil in the yard for about a week) a bag of dog treats at least a half dozen socks Q-tips block of cheese peach opened a 10 lb bag of rice (I did have to deal with that one!) opened a 12 lb bag of potatoes, which were strewn all over the living room. This was all before we adopted his buddy, Rolly, our St. Bernard. |
| Jack eats everything, but Qtips haven't been on the menu. Thanks for the warning. The rest sound within reason.
(actually I'm so proud of my big boy, he opens wide for fork feeding, unlike Glacier who is still into licking food off the fork. Rice, corn, peas fly far...... The other two are mostly fork trained. ) |

A lot of that is indeed "cute" BUT some of those things could be life-threatening, such as the chocolate and socks to say nothing of a peach pit and the Q-tips. Some of the others could make him more than a little sick. Your guy is going to need a little extra watching. He is quite the Vixen. |
| When Sammy was a puppy, she ate a small calculator right before we had a party for 40+ people. Luckily, one of the first guests to arrive was my friend's husband who is a veterinarian. As he walked in, we accosted him before he even took his coat off! He was a good sport and checked her over right away. The calculator passed without a problem the next day. She never chewed or ate anything after that. |
| been there dream and duff eat the entire box but left me the coupon |
