Taking counter surfing to the next level

So my human got home from work the other day, and let us out for our raucous, spinning, barking pee.  After which we raced back into the house to be fed.  We all had our supper, and the FG went out again, this time on leash.  "Duty" calls the FG quickly after he has eaten.  So he came back in and my human went to change out of her work clothes into her slobbery, dog-hair covered comfy clothes, before taking Frodo and I out.  She went into the bedroom to change.  She also took out her eyes ( she wears contact lenses) so she was gone a few minutes.  And when she came out of the bedroom, she realized no one was waiting for her by the door.  Hmmmmmmm.  She thought it odd and proceeded down the hall.  And that's when she saw the snowstorm.  An ENTIRE roll of toilet paper was shredded under the dining room table and ALL of us were chewing on bits of paper.  And what were the first words out of her mouth?   "What did you do?"  You would think after my blog the other day she would have been more creative in her choice of words.  Obviously she didn't READ my blog.  And her next statement? "Who did this?" Take your pick.  But there was one probable suspect...

Let's just say that the FG has taken counter surfing to the next level.  I mean he has been surveying counter content for some time now - since he got big enough to see easily over the counter when he puts his two paws up.  BUT, until now he has never actually TAKEN anything from the counter.  Not that there are many options, as my human is careful not to leave anything dangerous, or important ON the counter.  But she forgot two rolls of toilet paper that she was supposed to put in the bathroom.  She put them down for some reason and left them there.  And the temptation was too much so the FG did it - he STOLE the TP.  And when he started the shred-fest, we ALL joined in.  In the photo you are only seeing a bit of the paper - it was spread out everywhere.  And each one of us had paper in our mouths.  Chewing like we had gum.  My human stared in disbelief.  At which point, in her frustration she blurts out "If you like eating toilet paper so much, maybe I'll give you a roll for your supper tomorrow!!!!"    Don't you love when humans get dramatic?  

So she picked up the papers, while we were racing around trying to hoover any bits we could find.  

Now that we have the FG trained to GET things off the counter, we're hoping she will forget a whole bag of dog food on the counter.  Fat chance.  But one can always dream....

  2. Now you have to remember to keep the bathroom doors closed at all times or you'll have many grab and run days ahead of you.
