URGH I HATE IT WHEN THIS HAPPENS TO ME!! Because you WANT to punish them, but you know you can't because you don't know how long ago they did the deed and by the time you get home they've probably forgotten all about it already so scolding will only confuse them. But ahhh!! Charlie does this sometimes. He behaves PERFECTLY for weeks and months at a time, then just one day I'll walk out of the kitchen with a plate of food on the table to... answer the phone, use the bathroom, whatever, adn come back to find him on my chair eating from my plate!!! He doesn't do this all the time though, seems as though he only likes pancakes with syrup or bacon with syrup! But GRRRRRRRR!!! I know how you feel!!!

Oh yeah, and one time I was in town visiting HJ's parents and his sister got a new puppy, an ACD, and I had put Jamie and Charlie's treats up on a table nad come back ten minutes later to find the bag on the floor, empty!! Because his sister's dog ate ALL their treats. And she came downstairs and was like, "Oh, yeah, Angel probably did it. She gets into things a lot." AND DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!! She doesn't train the dog or discipline it or anything and agggg!

Sorry I went off on a mini-rant of my own
