 JK> I keep a plastic container of sugar in a drawer in my kitchen (a big
 JK> bin type  drawer kind of low to the floor).. everytime I open that
 JK> container, there are  at least two snouts (sometimes 3) trying to sneak
 JK> a taste.. it kills me. 

 Wow, I did not know dogs were attracted to sweets. But with what You
 say and that Cherry carmex smell, it was just something I overlooked
 until now.

 JK> I keep watching my three to see if they notice the dogs on the
 JK> screen.. they  don't seem to care unless they hear one barking.. then
 JK> it's a dash out the dog  door since they're sure it must have come from
 JK> outside haha 

 Simon is a little nut to begin with. He sees the dogs or anything on
 four legs he thinks is a dog and runs right over to the tv and starts
 barking. His brother looks at me as if to say, Simons goin bananas
 again Dad, whats his problem? Heheheheh


 > dogs barking or Dog himself has a couple dogs, so I don't watch that as You
 > can't hear what is going on...

 JK> Man, that is crazy.. and I get upset when the three dogs here decide
 JK> they need  to sit on the couch with us Lol.. You can't just let one dog
 JK> sit with you,  since then the other two try to jump up.. we might as
 JK> well sit on the floor if  that should happen haha
 
Oh yeah, they get jealous if they think one is getting special
treatment, and they, aren't. When the couch was full, my newfie when he
knew that I wanted to sit down, would sit there sideways and would turn
and rest his head on the backrest of the couch and look at the wall, as
if to say, If I can't see you, You're not there. Therefore, I don't
realize You want to sit down. :-)    Him and I would usually get into an
argument then about who had dibs on the couch. Sometimes he'd look at me
with those big brown eyes, and I would realize he had dibs :-))  Spoiled
brat.

 
 > Dad only had one cat to worry about, I can imagine when a bunch conspire

 JK> One cat is enough sometimes :) When I was growing up we had  two.. I
 JK> had mine  that I found in the basement when the momma had a litter, and
 JK> my sister had the  momma .. those two cats and our Irish setter got
 JK> into more trouble and  definitely conspired.. like the time the cats
 JK> knocked a platter of cupcakes I  made for Latin class to the floor, and
 JK> Red (the dog) ate every single one. 

Hahahaha Teamwork!!!

 JK> WOW :) :) :)

 JK> And a very very full dog no doubt :) :)

Janis, they all thought it was funny, But I was hopping mad at him.. He
wasn't necessarily full. I grabbed it away from him, but I will be
honest, You won't believe what ran through my head. "oh, can we wash
it? Or can we just serve the other side" heheheheh I knew none of that
would be possible but it still ran through my head in a panic. He and I
had long conversations every time a holiday came up from then on. ;-)





Have a good One!
Mike
