I don’t think it’s quite destruction… Apart from maybe destruction of my pride :rofl: but a story about Maggie being a scamp at the weekend that I thought might be appreciated here. Sent to my friend and copied below. For context, she hard guarding (and stealing)issues when we got her at 8 weeks old. We have worked on them and usually she is much better…

So yesterday she stole a tub of ghee that was left on the counter without a lid. This was a very precious steal. She was doing proper growling when I tried to get it off her and ran into the little landing outside the kitchen. Tried throwing a towel over it and she went mental. Tried to offer swaps for cheese but no. I managed to sit near her and was throwing bits of cheese around her on the floor. She knew this was an attempt at trickery. She sat down all hunched and in guarding mode and ate the bits of cheese within snout reach. Growling any time I moved. Did the same with a dog treat dried sausage thing that I snapped up and sprinkled around. I tried walking in and out of the kitchen dropping cheese when I got near (a valid guarding training technique, but one she is wise to). Tom had bought her some pig snouts from the market as treats, I thought that might be a better temptation. I tried putting it in various places around her. Eery time I come near her, growls, she would sniff a bit but not giving up the ghee. I thought of putting it on the kitchen floor to get her away from the ghee. She stood in the door way for a bit, but wouldn’t really move until I moved away. Then she snatched the snout and took it back to the landing, dropping it in the tub of ghee. It took me to this point to realise I am being thoroughly outsmarted. I wait for her to finish the snout and then she goes back to licking the ghee. Not exactly going to hurt her but potential for an upset stomach, which I would have to deal with the consequences of, so not ideal. I have a brainwave and put some peanut butter (my last option at this point having gone through a lot of cheese, a dog treat sausage and a pig snout) on one of her toys in the kitchen while I stand between the toy and the kitchen door. She knows what is going on but is interested. I turn my back to her to try and look nonchalant. She gingerly goes for the PB. Once she’s in I manage to shut the door behind her, she did a big snarly lunge at the door but it was shut and I was victorious! I am counting it as a victory anyway. Managed to keep part of the tub of ghee out if her greedy little belly. I think the whole saga lasted for about 20 minutes although it felt longer :rofl:

This dog has taught me so much about the value of lowering expectations and finding acceptance!

Pets are far more than just animals.

This is one of my fave pics of this boy. All the fluffs and wreckage in the background give the lie to his good boy expression. He looks like he works for a real estate company and this is his bus bench marketing photo.

I should start by saying we live on a ranch in the middle of nowhere. Stray/dumped dogs are a very common thing. So, a couple of months ago I left to run a few errands, and there was this mixed breed cattle dog running down the road.

My first thought was that either a neighbor had a new dog, or a rancher had lost him off the back of the truck. My second thought was that my husband would kill me for bringing home another stray dog (not really, but we were days away from a trip to Ukraine for the birth of our son, so the timing was terrible).

I ignored the dog, but when I returned from running errands, he was at our place, and the teenage boys who help in the summer were playing with him…sooo, it looked like we had another dog.

We had him about a week wirh zero problems. He had good manners, was decent in the house, had been in the car a couple of times without any problem. The following weekend I took him plus another dog to run a few errands. I had both rows of back seats in my SUV laid down with a rubber mat on top- so the entire back was just a huge area for the dogs.

During the 10 mile drive to town, the dog never made a peep. I assumed he was just looking out the windows…until I felt a tug on my seat belt. He was chewing on it, and then I noticed what he had been doing…he had calmly walked to all 4 back seat belts and quietly chewed the straps in half- about $3200 in damage in less than 5 minutes.

I took him back home and let him out. I was livid, but the opportunity to discipline him had passed, so there was no reprimand. I told my husband what had happened, and he thought it was hilarious (especially since I have a dog that will eat his coat, gloves and hat if left unattended in the trucks).

At some point that afternoon, the dog voluntarily wandered off and we never saw him again!!
