: Ah ha! The return of the thief!
: jabear November 26, 2008, 02:50:31 AM
Just a bit ago Bear and I were getting ready to head out for the morning walk. I was getting on my shoes & coat and he was walking around- for what I didn't know. Usually he's hanging with me but not today. So, as I stand up with my shoes on I say "Bear let's go". No response. I see him standing by the coffee table though in deep thought- frozen due to the heavy concentration. "Bear hurry up! Let's go." Just as I finish the sentence, I see it in slow motion. His head lowers just slightly and he picks up the small piece of pumpkin pie from the plate on the table with the side of his mouth. I'm still just watching- one gulp, two gulps, done.  :o As he licked his lips he walked to me and all I could do was laugh. The pie was there all night and he never touched it- brat huh?!

Correct me if I'm wrong...but isn't pumpkin really good for dogs?
Bear :-* was simply being a smart, health conscience boy!
Good job big guy!

Obviously all of you are maligning poor Bear. He knew he needed permission to eat the pie, thus waiting all night. When told, "Bear, let's go" I'm sure he heard, "Bear, let go," as in, release your vigilance and seek your reward. :D

They are funny with those jowls. Many a time I have caught Syrus hiding a cough drop in his. "Syrus, what have you got in your mouth?" "Nuffin" ::)

Hahaha. No burp but he did walk with an extra swagger in his step.  :)

I swear their lips are like tentacles, they can reach out and grab things with them! And when you look, they’re staring off into space with that ultra-peaceful Buddha look on their face. Stinkers.
