Boy, is my dog in trouble !!Hi all,
Well the day started out fine. I got up at 6 a.m., and went to the YWCA for my swimming. Went after swim, bought a few groceries, and food for chickens. When I got home, I had a very guilty looking dog meet me at the door. Fred definitely had a "hang dog" expression on his face and knew his mama would be upset with him. Fred just walked in to his crate and laid down. What did Fred do? Little brat ate 1/2 of a bad of kaytee exact, all I had to feed my hand feeding pigeons. I had to return to town and find more baby food. Daryl Oh, the baby food is now way up high in a cabinet that Fred can't get in to.

My gawd Daryl, you mean the powdered formula? A half bag?
 Is he ok? Well, at least he'll have lots of vitamins in him for awhile. I'd be sure and let him out FREQUENTLY to do his business cause I spect it would be a mess for awhile. Maggie

Ohhh Fred! You gonna be sproutin' feathers bud! My dogs like Kaytee Exact powder too, but I've managed thus far to avoid them getting any real significant amount of it.

Hi Daryl,
Wow..! Make sure Fred gets plenty of good Grit now too...! Just kidding... But... You know, if he SEES you useing 'that' food for the Baby Pigeons, you should make sure he gets some too now and then so he does not feel left out! Seriously! Dogs are VERY aware of such things, and sometimes very sensitive about them... So...when you make the formula for the little Pigeon Babys, always make a little extra for him to have some too...! it will make him happy...  Phil Las Vegas

Ohhhhh Fred!! Such a naughty boy.....well Daryll, all I can say is, Fred must have thought you had way too much 'free time' on your hands when he was chowin' down. Guess he had just enuf time on a full belly to reconsider before you got home
 Hope he's ok and he doesn't get the runs.fp

Gee, Daryl,Fred may be in deep doo doo (pun intended?) but I have to say that the name "Fred" has a special place in my heart. Fred(erick) was my Dad's name, Freddy, my brother, Fred, my second cousin and Freddy Johnson, a wonderful SH Orange Tabby cat (Freddy because he was a polydactyl (many toes) and Johnson because he purred like an outboard motor!)
Oh oh, Pidgey looks like he's lookin' for trouble again... Daryl MAY have a slight reprieve...Last edited by mr squeaks; 10th January 2006 at 08:26 PM.

Funny you should mention the thing about the poigeon food. My Beagle mix Sienna(1993-2004) Has gotten her fair share of getting into things. She's eaten a dozen doughnuts, a brownie, 1 pound of chocolate and at one poit took a bite out of my older brother's sandwich!
She got sick from eating that stuff, but it was amazing that she lived through it since chocolate has been know to kill dogs. But oh well, we love our pets no matter how annoying they may get.

I've heard that about the chocolate and dogs, too (actually, there's a bunch of different animals that it can get), but always assumed that the real danger was getting between a lady in a bad mood and her chocolate--now that's dangerous!
I'd be a little heavy handed if my dog got my sandwich--you don't get between a man and his sandwich! Pidgey

Fred the dog is aware too late he cannot hide something he did...Fred the dog is aware too late he cannot hide something he did...
pdpbison, you said pigeonmama's dog Fred might feel left out when she feeds the baby birds. Well, maybe so. Or maybe he just likes the bird food and figured no one would be the wiser if he ate a wee bit while pigeonmama was gone. Man, it tasted so good! A bit more, nobody will notice. Then: a half bag is left? Where did it all go? I didn't eat that much. Oh, no, pigeonmama's gonna know. She always knows everything, sooner or later. She's not very good at forgetting these kind of things. Guilt. GUILT. Drat these humans and their ways of making you feel so GUILTY. I don't have the dog's point of view, or a pigeon's point of view, but I do have my point of view (I think). When I was a kid, in San Angelo, Texas, I took care of our blond cocker spaniel Blondie. We had Nabisco Milk-Bone dog biscuits (shaped liike the generic dog bone seen in cartoons). I thought they were quite good, and would eat some every day. Nobody in the family noticed, and I didn’t depriive Blondie of her share. I simply liked them. Also, my mom would buy a twenty-gallon cardboard barrel of powdered milk every month or so, to mix half and half with regular milk in our breakfast cereal and whatever. (We had a LARGE family). I would grab a fistful of the powder, squeeze it so it stuck together like a biscuit, and eat several of these a day. It was quite good. (I’ve read since then that humans shouldn’t eat dogfood, or at least not dry dogfood). So, maybe Fred simply likes the birdfood and realized too late he couldn’t hide what he had done. Maybe it wasn’t so much guilt he felt, as regret that he had eliminated the possibilitty of indulging himself to his stomach’s content in the future. (I myself don't feel guilt so much as regret that I got caught).

Oh, I wish I could say that Fred had no other "adventures " on the dark side. I trusted him again, one morning that I went out briefly. I did put the baby food up in a cabinet, and chose to leave Fred out of his crate. Well, that little s&%#*@ opened up the cabinet under the sink, in the kitchen, pulled the trash can out and had every scrap of trash pulled out and spread out from one end of the house to the other. Bet you can guess who gets crated now, when I leave.
