O
Two observations about puppies:

It's a damn good thing they're cute.

It's a damn good thing they come into our lives 12 years apart
after we've forgotten what a pain in the ass they can be. ;-)

She's already chewed the wax seal off a $130 bottle of absinthe
I stupidly left in the bottom row of the wine rack, thank god
she doesn't know how to work a corkscrew ... yet. ;-)

When our golden retriever was a pup, the wife had cooked a wonderful
looking
ham for Christmas dinner and she had taken it out to the dining room and
put
it on the table. She then went back to the kitchen and finished getting
the
rest of the dinner ready. On her next trip to the dining room, she found
that the dog had pulled the ham off the table and nearly had it devoured.
That was the only time that dog took something off the table though or
got

into something that he shouldn't have.



I learned my lesson when I was much younger.
I went back to visit my parents and I had my own dog - a large hound
He did not even have to stand on his hind legs to get to the roast on the
counter
He wolfed it down in 5 or 6 bites.

Since then
I have had a couple of cats in food but no more and thats it.

You cannot blame an animal for this.

Not the first time anyways
