It’s a good thing my person can’t see me right now. I’d really get in trouble.
Sometimes when my person goes into the garage I push my way past the screen door before it closes all the way. That’s where my food is kept and there are always little nuggets on the floor that were spilled. I figure I’m doing my people a favor by keeping the area clean.
If it hasn’t been very long since the last time I made my way out into the garage there usually aren’t many nuggets lying around. And I don’t feel I’ve gotten enough payment for all of my hard efforts. So I check to see what’s in the bag. After all, it is my bag of food. There shouldn’t be any problem if I just help myself.
Usually my person sees me doing it, grabs me by the collar, and makes me go back in the house.
Today I got lucky though. My food bag is almost empty so I was able to get my head all the way inside it. My person’s never going to see me now. I can have a feast. I’ll go back in the house when my bag’s empty.
What!? Wait a minute! Person, how did you know I was in here? No fair. I’m not ready to go back in the house. I’m not finished yet.
By the way person, you need to go get me another bag of food really soon.

I have the same problem Bongo…I don’t mean getting caught with my head in the bag, but all the little nibbles that drop on the floor. In our house they are soon swooped up with seven doggy noses on the go…..love ya lots Big Boy! (and you will be if you keep raiding the food)

Patreciau, you must have an extra clean floor. Part of a dog’s job description is keeping the floor clean.

Oh Bongo, you’re going to get a belly ache. But I get the part about cleaning things up. Sometimes my person leaves all this food on the counter & I figure it would be a great service dog kinda thing to clean up… she just leaves cheese, pumpkin muffins, even a steak once. You can’t leave stuff around, it’ll go bad & attract rodents (whatever they are).
Bongo
May 17, 2012 at 7:29 pm
Lola, the counter’s have definitely got to be cleaned. Your counter cleaning job sounds like one that any dog would be envious of.

Oh, Bongo – so unappreciated when you try to help. Oh, the German wants to know if after this task if you have to run outside and wipe that greasy residue off your muzzle from being inside the bag? (It’s always a concern of hers) She also recommends running along a hanging bedspread if available…and no one is watching. Glad you are being such a big help!
Bongo

German, I’m not really concerned about whether my muzzle is greasy, but I do like rubbing against my person’s comforter on her bed. It just feels good to do it.

My person always puts my food in a sealed container so I can’t get to it. No fair!
Bongo

Lola, I bet you could chew a hole in it. That’s what I’d do if I got alone with it long enough.

LOL! Love it Bongo!!!For years our collies neer went to the dog food bag…. then Mick one day walked up and opened it up and stuck his head in and relished his self made treat. Of course every collie eye in the house was on him and they all had to try it… they usually only do it when they didnt eat much of their breakfast or dinner….otherwise they want treats… 🙂 Ginger says you should lock the door behind you so if your person sees you you will hear them coming and you can load up on food faster till they get to you… heheehhe 🙂
Bongo
May 17, 2012 at 7:34 pm
Collies, Ginger has such great ideas. When my people first got me they left the food in the kitchen with me and I was so happy to be there instead of dog jail that I didn’t touch it for a long time. Then one day I got bored and ate about half a bag. I didn’t feel very good afterwards and my food got moved to the garage so I have to sneak it now.

Deanna, my person made me leave before I could eat much. She says she was watching me all the time but I don’t believe her.

Wonderbutt’s food is also in a sealed container, like Lola’s. Perhaps that is why he tries to eat everything else.

Marina, I’m not sure how my person knew about it – and she still hasn’t gotten me a new bag. She left me home alone all day yesterday, but she promised she’ll get me a new bag today – I think because Scratchy’s bag is emptier than mine.

Too bad your person saw you through the bag, Bongo, but on the other hand now you know she can look through everything, so you have to be careful next time when you’re “cleaning” the garage. Btw while I was writing this, there was someone over here “taking” food out of the bag. I guess I have look-through-everything-eyes too 🙂

Angels Whisper, it’s just not fair to us when our people can look through everything. How are we supposed to get away with mischief.

Yes Bongo, the bag contains all your food after all, so there is no problem if you eat them up!!! I wonder why your person pulled you back from the bag??? *giggles* 🙂

Kevin, sometimes I think my person just does things to frustrate me. It’s not fair.

Mumsy, my person promises she’s going to get me another bag of food today. I hope she leaves the door to the garage open after she gets it. Hugs and nose kisses back to you.

Lexie and Mica, that bag must have rattled. Otherwise I can’t figure out how my person knew I was in there.

Bassa, I guess my person doesn’t like Bigo dogs because she makes me stop eating when I get into something. I think she should let me eat and then just take me for extra long walks on my trails.

Bongo, you should work on your persons more…maybe hire a person personal coach. Oh, and tell her to buy you one of those Large automatic dog feeder that holds mega size amounts of dog food. It’s the best invention ever!
Bongo
June 3, 2012 at 10:10 pm
Sunshine, those are great ideas. I’ve been having so much trouble training my person – maybe a person personal coach could do it. And I love that dog feeder thingy – all the dog food I can eat.
