So, Mandy is the black lab we got from the youth facility training program. She is jet black except for four white hairs on top of her nose that you can see if you are looking for them. We call her "the stealth dog" because you can't see her unless she is on a light background!
Bubba is getting older, and while he enjoys getting treats (twisted rawhide) he only eats one or maybe two a day. But out of habit, he asks for them, less often than he used to. Mandy steals them when he abandons them. She is such a goofball about it, though.
husband is going into work very early tomorrow for work that has to be done middle of the night on Sunday morning. So he was in bed at 8:15. Bubba and Mandy made one last appeal for a treat and got it, then I told them we were done. They both went into the bedroom and layed down with daddy. About ten minutes later, Mandy tiptoes out of the bedroom. I mean seriously - she tiptoes! Her head and tail is down like I won't see her.
Then she sniffs around the living room until she finds Bubba's abandoned treat. She picks it up, and wanders around looking for a place to hide to eat it. She prefers to take stolen treats outside and eat them, as though no one will see her. But it's late and I'm not letting her out again. So she keeps coming up to me with the big puppy dog eyes and Bubba's treat hanging out of her mouth, begging me to let her out so she can eat this thing in secret! 
She would never make it as a difficult child! She finally gave up and took it to a dark corner to eat. Stealth dog with a stealth treat!
