A rather miffed terrier has eaten 0 Shortcake Bites (chocolate is not good for dogs).

Our terrier once ate a whole average size easter egg with no ill results. On the other hand he also ate 1/2lb of butter with some rather unpleasant results. He was also partial to trifle when it was unthinkingly placed on the lower shelf of a trolly (we were alerted by 'slurping' sounds).

I just read that out to my sister and she said "What about when Frankie [her Border Terrier] pushed open the oven door and ate a giant stuffed crust cheese and tomato pizza, not even leaving any crumbs!"

She said that he waddled into her living room, his stomach very bloated, and licking his lips. Now he gets excited every time that he smells pizza ...

Yesterday he walked past as I was talking to my sister. He had a slice of bread in his mouth which he took into the back garden and ate. We carried on talking. A couple of minutes later, he did it again. We carried on talking. Another couple of minutes later, we heard a rustling sound and then he walked past us again with a third slice of bread in his mouth. My sister and I looked at each other and said "Where is he getting that bread from?" We went into the kitchen and found that the evil mutt had got into a bag of shopping and ripped open a loaf of bread!

Fortunately, he left the butter behind ... :whistle:

Yep, the butter was baaad

But I wish I could like your post twice!

Somehow he got up onto the table for the butter (he also did the same with some birthday cake).

The mutt is definitely in my bad books now ... He obviously didn't like me distracting his mistress and depriving him of attention - I went to take him for a walk and discovered that he had p*ssed on my boots! :laugh:

I pointed at the puddle and started telling him off. My sister pointed out that it was a waste of time because he is too thick to work out what I was complaining about! (He is a great little dog but definitely not 'Border Collie smart'. Sometimes I spot him standing in the garden staring into space looking like he is trying to work out what to do next! :okay:)

Owner and dog have headed back down to the Midlands now so I will go back to a choc-free life for a while.
