Wheat thins are the dog's favorite treats? 

 

The dog probably has a crush on Sandy Duncan (back when commercials went big for their spokespeople).

We had a dog who could have cared less if the refrigerator door opened, but if it was the freezer and there was a chance for ice cream she would be appear out of nowhere.

 

We had another dog that would growl happily while eating bacon, which is not that unusual.    Years later when he was getting up there in age, he suddenly started doing the same thing while eating potato chips, but even being more dramatic.    We figured he was either losing his sense of taste and he was fooled by the texture of the chips, or he was being sarcastic (if any dog could be sarcastic, it would have been Fred.)

attachicon.gif0615181939.jpgHere's a pick of my older dog (Bluebear) getting to lick the peanut butter jar, and my younger dog's (Gato) response. 

 

My dog had never had peanut butter until the vet gave her a spoonful to keep her focused on something while they tried to take her blood pressure.  I thought she was going to pass out from happiness.    I started putting it in a Kong until I realized I was gaining weight from eating half of the jar myself.  I then switched to the fake meat equivalent of cheese in a can and was able resist eating the dog's Kong filling.

Usually it’s a matter of the pug leaving the jar and she’ll sneak in and grab it. She noticed me filming, so she was very tempted to come to me, which is probably why she was struggling.

 

We didn’t catch the trade off last night as we were mixing up puppy chow at the time and came out to find the poodle had the jar now.

...or she. I can’t ever tell with dogs. Sorry.

 

It's a he...a fixed he, but a he. And they typically will go for it in this manner. She knows that she'll get the last half of the jar, so she lets him get what he can with his pug nose, then sticks her skinny nose sometimes all the way in the jar, depending on the brand.

We got a third dog, with the thought that this would be the dog the kids could claim as their own as our other two were in the home before they were. Needless to say, the kids are more easy parenting/disciplining at this point as she was not fixed when we got her (3 year old pug), and she has been very, very territorial around my wife especially, so plenty of fights have ensued. That said...she's now part of our family!
