Babies and puppies are both quite cute, but underneath the soft, cuddly exteriors lie the fearsome hearts of competitors. Well, not really. When a new baby joins the household, Sophie the dog is initially irritated, but eventually comes to see the baby, Doug, as the asset he is: a better way to get snacks. Though the baby is still hogging precious attention, and has a tendency to pull ears and be a general nuisance, a begrudging friendship forms between the two rivals. Watch the mischief unfold in Brian Anderson’s Dog Eat Doug.

?? A lab can “think this over?” Not in my experience. More like, “Gee, that was a great snack. What’s for supper? Is it time for supper? I’m hungry. What’s for supper?….Why are you looking at me like that?”

Can’t blame Sophie for her dad’s silly mistake. Temptations are the same as treats.

Temptations are the name of a cat treat product. I have 2 cats who love them. http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=temptations+cat+treats&ei=UTF-8&fr=moz2-ytff-tyc

As a pet owner you learn what you can leave out, what you can have in the house and what you can’t. Last week I saw some lovely wicker shelves I’d love to have to put my knick knacks on but I knew what would happen to it if I brought it in the house. 4 cats would think it was a cat tower and jump on it, knocking it to the floor. This would happen over and over and woe betide any knick knacks I put on it, they’d be broken. So I did not buy it. If Sophie’s owner left a steak out on the counter, of course she ate it. He has only himself to blame.

Yes, trick question. Can’t blame dog for natural behavior. Don’t let human have snacks for a week – was his bad!!

I had a Westie who jumped onto my chair and ate my steak dinner off the table one night. After my initial shock all I could do was laugh. After all, he was the one who was fast enough to get to it first :)

when we first brought our new dog home from the pound she ate an entire chicken carcass off the counter. Luckily she did not choke on it but she was never again allowed into the kitchen. Even if she is chasing the cat she stops short at the kitchen door.

one of my dogs ate half a ham by Dad left on the counter. she got so thirsty! My 10 golden retrievers could be trusted not to take anything that was not offered to them. They had two 40 lb sacks of food open to eat from anytime they wanted.

Even our cat knew not to get on things.
She had a cat stand and she was welcome on the couch but no where else.
Kids and pets need to know there are limits.

Yes I know… Half-Time loves the new tuna flavour. Wonder how many people understood the reference.

Or you could have bought it… as a cat tower.

The late Underfoot and I had a deal – I bought a cheap sofa at a thrift store, put it up in a corner on one of its arms – he could climb and scratch on that to his heart’s content, as long as he didn’t scratch on any other furniture. It worked for both of us.

I’ve never had a problem with keeping the kitty of the counter or not clawing the furniture, but if she see a plastic bag or peice of tape she can’t leave it alone, she HAS to lick it.
