What your beagle does when you are not home:

1. OMG! What a smart dog.

[mainer]

2. Wow, he's using tools!

Moving the chair into just the right position.

But a REALLY smart dog would put everything back where he found it.

5. My previous Akita, Boo, would do that

I have a lot of throw pillows on the couch and big round chair in my living room, and Boo loved to beat up on pillows though he knew he wasn't allowed to. He would never do it when I was home, but I often came home from work to find the throw pillows were back on the couch in the correct order, the one that sat in the big round chair was put back, but I knew he had played with them and put them back to try to disguise that fact because they wouldn't be put back exactly right (a couple would be backward or laying down flat instead of propped up) and they'd be all soggy from his slobber. When ever I discovered he'd done this I'd just pointedly look at the couch and back at him with the stern mommy expression and he would be amazed with surprise and guilt... "OMG, how did she know when I put them all back????"

With all three of mine they mostly liked me to know when they got into mischief and did something clever because they'd go so far as to come to me where ever I was with the and let me know they had been up to no good with the "hee hee, I've been a clever naughty boy" antics, and I'd have to do a walk through to figure out what mischief they got up to that they were so proud of. And I knew the second they thought I figured it out since then they'd start doing the happy boy dancing around all full of their cleverness.... "hee hee, yup, I broke into your sock drawer and slobbered on every pair before distributing them around the upstairs like Easter eggs! yeah me!"

14. Aren't dogs great?

16. I had a cat that could open the cabinet

under my bathroom sink, take out the tampons, take the paper off, and play with them all over the house (they had "tails" don't 'cha know). Cute until I came home with a date and found unwrapped tampons all over my living room floor.

[TorchTheWitch]

17. OMG!

BWAAAAHAHAHAHA!!! How embarrassing! How in the world do you try to explain something like that? "Um, the cat did it".


Pets are invinsible at being relationship killers even more than big brothers or strict fathers. My dogs knew immediately if they liked or disliked anyone I tried dating, and if they didn't like them they were experts at sabotaging the blooming relationship. They'd pee in their shoes, drop their wallets, socks or car keys in the toilet (after lifting up the lid on their own), barf in their laps... there was no end to the clever and disgusting things they could think up to do to discourage them ever calling me again. It worked, too, and they were damn smug about it... "haven't heard back from that dude I barfed on did ya? hee hee."

3. Why yes, yes she used to

but she is too old now to do any of that. They are so smart. Thanks, my husband and I enjoyed this and at our feet is our crotchety, old and deaf beagle mix. She used to be the dog we would look at each other and say, "God THIS will be the one to live until she is 16." Now we can only hope that is the case.

4. This explains

why my kitchen counter is so clean when I come home.

[Ron Obvious]

6. I'm impressed!

Moving that chair like that, Planning! Tool Use!

Clever fellow!

8. doing Snoopy proud

[nolabear]

9. And you KNOW when his owner gets home he'll be like "WHAT??"

Well done!

[Beacool]

10. That's one clever dog.

Its only mistake was not pushing the chair back to its original position. Now its owners are going to find out how it ate whatever was inside the toaster oven. LOL!!!

12. I believe it was chicken nuggets.

She seemed to enjoy them for sure.

[Beacool]

15. I think that the pooch was entrapped.

They left the food on purpose. The doggie must have done something similar before and the owners wanted to get it on tape.

13. Now, how can I blame this on

the cat?
