[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 217722, member: 3626"] I truly had the best, most well-trained Old English you could have ever met. Squeaks never jumped on people, never licked, stayed until you told him to move and so on. However, when he was about 18 months old, he had gotten most of his manners down but there was one major flaw -- if food was available, he'd get it and, of course, he was big enough to get it from everywhere. He'd eat the cat food, a sandwich put down for a half a second (he once grabbed it from my hand), ANYTHING. The dog wasn't picky. Not. even. a. little. So, I'm fixing dinner for New Year's Eve. Myself and 5 other adults. Food was cooked and being placed in their proper containers. The ham -- all 8 lbs of it -- was sitting with tin foil tented over it on the counter. I HAD to go to the bathroom. I mean I couldn't wait another second. Not a problem. Squeaks will follow me to the bathroom. He ALWAYS follows me to the bathroom. Yup, he's right behind me but there was a delay. Good, don't have to worry about the ham. Do my stuff, go back in the kitchen. The ham has disappeared. Not on the counter, not on the floor, the aluminum foil tent is smashed. I look outside and there's Squeaks, laying down in the snow (and he HATES snow), chomping away. Before I could get it, the whole ham was gone. Not only did we not have any meat that evening, we had the joy of listening to a dog toss his cookies every 15 minutes for about 3 hours. Critters and food. You gotta love 'em but they can be a truly dangerous mix -- either you want to kill the critter or the food will try. [/QUOTE]
