Deb your story is hysterical. I think everyone can relate to similar episodes with their dog! I can just imagine the merry chase that Bonnie led you on with a circular house plan! My Bella used to steal the dish towel off the inside of my kitchen cupboard door (until we put kiddie locks on the door . ) Her predecessor (Ashley-RB) also did this. She would immediately take it to the dining room and around and around the table we would go. If I appeared not interested she would drop it on her own and sometimes if I am lucky she would drop it when I said "drop it." Remember, though, it is a towel and not food!! Bonnie had something much tastier in her mouth! I am amazed that you were able to pry her mouth open! When my Ashley had a chipmunk in her mouth once (the only reason I knew was because the tail was hanging out . ) I couldn't get her mouth open to save my life. I finally had to offer her a doggie biscuit to get her to open up. Somehow I don't think Bonnie would have traded that hot dog for a doggie biscuit! Well, I guess it was probably not the best thing to end up giving her the hot dog, but I probably would have too. Dogs, ya gotta love 'em!

By the way, I LOVE your avatar with the moving ears!! Too cute!!!
