What a funny story!!!

My mom is always surprised when we pry our dogs mouths open and take things from them. We will take away treats we have given them, rawhides, toys, whatever. We do it to let them know we are the boss and when we say give it, or drop it, they do. It sounds cruel to do it with things they are allowed to have, but they get that stuff back and when they get something they shouldn't have, like when Cincy found a Kit Kat bar it can be taken away easily! At the same time, other people who have not worked on this are surprised when their dogs do growl or snap to defend food! Duh! I will growl at you too if you take food away from me Anyway...

Good girl Bonnie for givin back the hot dog!!! And thanks Deb for a good laugh!! We have a circular area from kitchen to dining room to living room and the girls love to play chase around there!!
