NOT HAPPY ABOUT GRADUATION
I came home from work and Bella was laying down with her head tucked into a corner and I noticed there was a little present of vomit next to her. I panic and shout at hubby "Did you feed Bella?" he tends to be a little generous with the kibble so I am in charge of the meals. He says no. Bella seems okay, I feel her tummy and wonder if she was finally able to catch that squirel she has been chasing. Bella comes up stairs with me. Has a little drink. Her gums look nice and moist and not pale. I make her lie down on the slate and walk into the livingroom and THERE IS THE EVIDENCE SHE FORGOT TO DISPOSE OF!!!!!!!!! I find the wrapper right in her bed. The 3 wheat rolls are long gone. The bag was intact and Bella was not happy when dinner was skipped that night. I am sad to say Bella has graduated and become acounter surfer  What am I going to do with her. Is there a program I can get her into???? Is there no hope???? |

Yes, there's a 12 step program, with meetings and everything. But they are not well attended as the snacks are always mysteriously gone before the meetings even start...?   Sybil has a message for Bella:  Meetings-schmeetings. We don't need no stinkin' meetings! And she hasn't even done any countersurfing for quite some time. Unless I missed her obtaining her doctorate degree in CS by successfully getting her brother and the rescue dog blamed every single time...?  Kristine |
| Heart's message to Bella.... (((another )) ..Bellagerl,  your first attempt is admirable, but you must destroy the evidence, sweetie~~~ ALL of it. Rip it, hide it under the couch, bed, etc..you understand, don't you??? Of course you do~ The real trick is when 'they' decide to push all the yummies AWAY from the edge of the counter. It takes patience and tenacity, but, if you perservere, in the end the rewards will be GREAT!!! I learned so much when Harry stayed at my house when his parents went out of town. Now he is the master!!! He pulled the table cloth just enough to reach the nuts and chocolate. The uprights had no idea that the bowls were empty for a day or two...  ..That is your goal, littleone. Practice, practice, practice...and one day...you will be as good as some of the masters and mistresses on this wonderful site!!! Keep all of us sheepies in the 'know'.... awe what the heck...here are a couple more ...... ...to grow on!!!!  and  Heart  |

I'll have to tell Chuck this story he'll get a kick out of it...he just loves your boys. I learned a long time ago to put everything away...not because of the dog, because of the cat. For being so small she can cause a lot of craziness. |
| Gah! I thought that if you passed a certain age and they didn't counter surf, then you were safe forever! Bella, please don't tell Mady. |
It's only when your hips no longer let you jump up, otherwise you are a forever counter surfer. Jack has graduated to counter sniffer as he no long jumps, nor Glacier  |
| Bassets can counter surf with the best of them. Tripper can no longer get up there but his trick now is to lay right where we are trying to work in the kitchen. He knows eventually he's going to trip one of us and he'll get the reward. |

Harley at 13 is still an amazing counter surfer - and he's actually a little guy. Maybe I didn't need to increase his arthritis meds.....  I'm just glad that in the almost 2 yrs he's been here, no one has copied him. Maybe they don't want to get in trouble like he does. |
| That's exactly why he was named Tripper, just seemed to fit from day one. He does look longingly at the counter tho. Remember the one day I had made a pork roast that was really good, heard something and 1/2 of it was gone. He did enjoy it and never was real concerned about getting into trouble. He does have an attitude. |
| As far as Rastus who is my bad CS is concerned "trouble" is just the price you pay for what every yumminess you snitch. No biggie. |
| Just had to comment about old hips preventing counter surfing. Our Theeps managed to do it his whole life with bad hips and knees. Where there's a will there's a way. If the hips can't do it they learn to levitate or use Jedi mind tricks. True counter surfing masters draw from deep down in their souls to perfect their craft. |
