What does your dog steal?

[MonkeyFunk]

I used to have a dog that would steal anything and everything.

One day I saw him walking by with a dinner plate in his mouth - he grabbed it out of the drying rack. I'd come home from work, and on his bed or in his crate would be such things as a book, a wooden kitchen spoon, a sock, the fireplace poker.... anything he could reach, he'd just take.

My current guy is less of a thief - but he just LOVES to steal tissues/napkins/paper towels. If I leave a paper napkin on the coffee table, he sneaks up and grabs it. He also loves to go in the bathroom and fish Q-tips out of the trash.

Napkins and Q-tips. He just loves 'em.

Even as a puppy, he never destroyed much - only one book. Alas, it was a very expensive art photography book.

1. My baby Haley will steal a kiss when I'm asleep.

Don't mind much.

2. Mine steals socks and underwear

out of the dirty laundry. Sometimes she will steal a rag or a wet towel.

I once had a dog that stole the laundry off the clothesline. I was mortified when he got away from me and stole the laundry off the neighbor's clothesline. I brought it back. The neighbor did not have much of a sense of humor about such things.

He would also steal baseballs from the kids next door when they played ball outside. He would bring them home, and I would have to return them.

3. If a dog takes a ball

that's not stealing. The neighbor's underwear, yeah. But dogs will take a ball.

4. Trash, deer hides and chickens!!

Well; that was when I still had her and she was alive......

She pissed off a lot of farmers and hunters where I used to live.

Beautiful dog but got the taste of blood and then was out of control!

Tried the dead chicken around neck; huge, heavy chains, etc.

Nothing worked. She was determined. :( A very intelligent animal.

I still miss her....

11. We've lost many a pair at the hands (or should I say jaws) of our dogs

7. Any food left unsupervised is completely gone within seconds.

Mr. MB cooked this delicious prime rib and gave the dog the bone. She took down the bone, wandered into the kitchen, took a drink and poof - the last piece of prime rib was gone. She took it out of the roasting pan which was on top of the stove towards the back burners. She is a slick one that pooch.

8. Most memorably, a whole sack of bagels.

Off the counter. I even had it pushed to the back of the counter, because I've always had huskies and they're little thieving thieves! :D



But the whole sack was impressive. He ate them all before I found the empty bag, too.

Also, memorably, remote controls. The multi-function spendy ones taste best, I believe.

9. laundry (if you leave the laundry room door open) and once, my cell phone

he decided that was a chew toy. It was on a charger, at the back of the kitchen counter...and he still got it!

10. Big dog steals my wifes underwear.

The little one loves socks. I'll be folding the laundry and she will stalk up and stretch her neck into the basket to get a pair of socks.
They both love to shred tissues/paper towels.

12. Q-Tips, underwear, socks, pens, wrappers

Then under the couch they go to be squirreled away.

17. Nothing - but ...

Hank will go Rambo when I'm not home and jump up on the kitchen counter and rummage thru cabinets in search of snacks ... and Ray has figured out how to burrow under the privacy fence when I'm not looking, to head out on squirrel chasing missions.

18. My dog steals tons of stuff and takes it to his "underground lair"...

that being the space under the bed. We'll find Kleenex, napkins, wrappers ... just about anything the little bastard can filch out of the trash quickly.

19. I have a lot of stories on this subject ...

Many years ago, my older dog got up on the dinner table and pushed a pizza to the floor, where our new girl puppy could get at it. He was so sweet to her. :) It kind of makes me sad to think about it. When his health was declining and he was in bad shape, she would spend all day cleaning him, laying with him, watching over him. Anyone who says dogs can't love doesn't know.

Years later, said girl dog stole and ate an entire chocolate Easter bunny. We rushed her to the vet because we worried she'd get sick, but she was somehow fine!

One of my current dogs loves to steal socks. He makes sure that you see he has them, and then he waits for you to get close before running a bit further away. He gets a kick out of being chased.
