What does your dog steal?

Smokey likes baggies of any kind. Doesn't matter if it has treats or trash or other stuff that you keep in baggies in it!
Pork Chop was a major undies stealer when he was younger.

Too funny!! We have a golden retriever, Otis, who absolutely loves to steal dryer lint...I don't know why he enjoys it so much but we've got to keep a close eye on the waste basket when we're in the laundry room! He's also a sock/underwear thief and I think his funniest caper was when he was about 3 months old. He came prancing out of the bedroom with a pair of underwear just as proud as can be and promptly got his paw caught in the leg elastic slingshotting the underwear up and onto his head. Because they were also hooked around his leg - he was stuck! What I wouldn't have given for a camera at that moment!!

This is an old picture of Otis from last summer - I need to get his new ones online!

Mommyofotis,

Your story of Otis is hilarious. I also wish that
could have been caught on camera... Welcome to Pet Talk.
Do you have a regular pic of Otis that you could post?

Pam,

I had no idea that Bella was such a 'free-spirited' gal.
She has 'tons' of personality. Very cute pics...

Rosie's the thief in the family. She LOVES, I mean, LOVES to steal socks @ any chance she gets. Oh, and food? Yes, she'll swipe it off the table if noone is around. Milk? I swear she *has* a thing for it. If I leave a cup full of milk or chocolate milk on the table, she'll knock it down and drink the REST of it, then goes back what she was doing and I come back, and I see it EMPTY, then I look to Rosie and she's just either sitting or laying, looking at me as if she didn't do anything! - Rachel

One of my college roommates had a dog that loved to steal dirty underwear from the clothes hamper and bring it into the open, like say the living room. How embarrassing is that! My maltese enjoys stealing my pillow at night. That little booger sits on my head and slowly eases his way down the pillow until I am pillowless and he is asleep on my pillow. I just love that dog, I normally just let him slepp like that. He doesn't want the other pillow, only the one that I am currently sleeping on.

Oh, where to start. My Casey (RB) was a true retriever. The problem was that she "retrieved" things that weren't hers/ours. We used to live on a cul-de-sac and our yard wasn't fenced. She would go over to the neighbors' houses/garages and over time retrieved the following:

sneakers
golf shoes
barn jacket
underwear (long story)
cat poop in a brown paper bag (uh, another long story)
hand trowel
gardening gloves
$20 bill (after that I told her, Go fetch!!)
many assorted children's toys
snow shovel
pumpkin
box turtle (live)

She was always so proud to bring home her "finds" and we were lucky that our neighbors loved her and didn't mind since everything got returned eventually. Boy do I miss her!

My Lab Star is 100% retriever. Not matter what "it" is, she wants to go get it!: Especially if someone else wants it! In fact, not an hour or so ago, she "stole" my piece of apple pie off the counter, then took off with the saran wrap!!! Wow, is she fast! She ate if before I even knew it was gone! Food by far is her preferred object of thievery. A few Pet Talkers might remember one of my very first posts....the one about the day Star pulled a WHOLE unfilleted 10 lb. salmon off the bottom shelf of the frig. I wrestled her and it to the ground in the family room....guess who won??

My 1½ year old Irish Setter/Black Lab mix loves to steal ointment. Her favorite is antibiotic ointment. She got a hold of anti-hemmoroidal cream one time and that stuff really made her feel bad. I had to call the poision control center about it, they said she hadn't consumed enough to be hurt by it, but it sure did give her a belly ache. She'll chew up and eat pretty much anything in a tube, except toothpaste. She'll also tear up garbage bags and get all of the old food out of it. Another thing she'll take is things like phones, television remotes, guitar tuners, etc. I'm hoping one day she'll grow out of this, but it's not looking like it. It doesn't matter- I'll love her no matter what. Besides, when we come home, it's EXPECTED of her to have chewed something.
