[QUOTE="donna723, post: 200571, member: 1883"] My brother used to have a Basset Hound that could open their bi-fold pantry doors, then stand on his hind legs and take whole loaves of bread off the shelves and eat them. He once ate two entire loves of bread at once and didn't even burp! My Ragan is bad about getting in to the garbage - she loves to get butter wrappers or ice cream cartons and lick them. And last night she 'retrieved' the plastic wrapper that had been on a pound of pork sausage and was looking for a place to lick it clean. In my house we have a rule - if I didn't give it to them, they DON'T eat it! I've caught both of them before with something little in their mouths, chewing on it, but could never get it away from them before they swallow it. They do that on purpose, you know! One day Katy had something in her mouth chewing on it, something little and hard. I was thinking "thumb tack" or something else horrible! She'd roll it around in her mouth and then spit it out but when I'd try to see what it was, she'd snatch it up again. I finally got down on the floor, wrestled her down, got her in a headlock, pried her jaws open (not easy with a Boston!), and ran my fingers all around inside her mouth! I finally got it and took it out of her mouth ... it was a PEA! A dried pea! They get the Merrick dog food that is a small kibble with little pieces of freeze dried fruits and veggies in it - including peas! I gave it back to her and apologized! She does it all the time now. She loves to pick out a little piece of dried apple or carrot or a pea from her food and play with it and chew on it for hours! [/QUOTE]
