Today my dog has 1. Stolen a dirty diaper, and ate it, when I left it on the changing table for a whole 10 seconds.
2. Got into the cat litter box and ate poo when I turned my back for 10 seconds while I was cleaning our laundry room. Normally it is closed up with a cat door on it.
3. Stole a local chevre the counter when I turned around for seriously 1 second. I never splurge and buy nice cheese. And then she freaking eats it the one time that I do.
RAAAAAGE
I will never ever ever get a hound type dog again. Their nose gets them into trouble 24/7.
She is so fucking annoying and I don't like her today. Now I am having one of these. :beer:
LOL!!! I'm in the same boat. My pit has been horrible, the whole week! Except, she went in the litter box last night and brought it to my bed. Maybe, there is something in the air?
Do you have to bury your underwear at the bottom of the dirty clothes basket? Yeah me neither.
I can't have normal garbage cans, the bags sit on top of the drier so she cannot get into them.
I have to bury dirty clothes or just put them right into the washing machine. Most of underwear and socks have chewed holes in them.
Can't keep anything nice either less she chew it, eat it, tear it, or lick it to death.
I love her dearly but some days, I want to yell "RELEASE THE HOUNDS!" and just shove her out the door by herself. But I can't do that because then she'd run away. =(

Yup we have hounds. Last night Molly rolled in poison ivy, got out of her harness when she saw the hose for the bath, then ran around the neighborhood like wheeeee you bitches can't catch meeee in front of traffic. When I got her inside I had to run the shower to bathe her, had to get in and hold her, and then she climbed the wall while I was holding her and got her leg stuck in the wall handle made for old people. That was my workout for the day. All of this because she insists on sleeping on dh's pillows and we are both highly allergic to poison ivy. I've already gotten it once this year chasing her.
We lock our trash in the bathroom when we leave.
She counter surfs. The other hound is too short to reach. May I sugget bassets?

Oh but, I will always own hounds because they are so affectionate and empathetic. We've used mine once to interview a child victim and I'm trying to convince my boss to let me use them More often bc they were so damn awesome. The fact that they're dumb enough to get into everything all the time translates to dumb enough to love me like whoa even when I suck.

I think the key is to get a dog that can't reach counters. My dog eats contraband all the time, but he's little so we just have to keep stuff off the floors and keep our chairs pushed in. It's still a pain in the ass, though.
These responses are very good for me. It makes me feel better to read about people going to insane lengths to keep their stuff safe. Yes our biggest mistake was getting a dog who was tall. In our old house we had to baby latch our cupboards because she could jump up on our counter.
Oh and she pooped on the carpet tonight. On the teeny patch of carpet in our huge house of hardwood. Probably from everything she ate. Love her
I have a border collie, and I have to say, he's kind of awesome. I have no doubt he would do all of this stuff, but the guilt alone would have him sulking for days.

My dog loves buttons/zippers. We found this out after he went on a rampage in our closet and now we can't hang anything on the lower bar of the closet.
