I think the dog ate it....

I got all ready to paint the center disks and wheel weights on the H today. I could not find the lid to my paint gun, think the dog ate it. I ended up covering the can with cellophane and punched a hole in it.

She is an 18mo old border collie and likes to steal things. I have to be careful where I lay things. She stole the roll of paper towels I set out to use for cleanup while I was painting.

Wait til she starts turning up with tools you never saw before then see reward posters for info on neighborhood burgularies. :lol:

A few years after I moved onto my 12 acres a developer began building high-dollar homes on tracts adjoining my place, expanding an existing subdivision. My dog Loopy soon learned that this was an interesting place to visit.

One day he showed up back at the house carrying an Elmo slipper. A couple of days later he brought in the other one. (They didn't fit.)

I began to fear for his safety a bit when a week or two later he brought home a sack lunch one of the carpenters had brought to work. Loopy waited until he got home to eat it.

She will not cross the invisible fence, so it is my stuff that ends up missing. The coop lost a cell phone when they came out and changed a tire. We only found the case.

I've got a border collie that's about 15 months old and you should see him play "soccer" with a 5 gallon bucket in our yard. Back and forth, and he's very good at steering the bucket to where he wants it to roll. Actually, during the summer, when the windows are open, it's a little aggravating when it's 5:00 AM and he's doing it and you want to sleep. Anyway, last spring I was fixing my vehicle and I had a couple of ratchets that have the "gel" handles on them. I put all my tools in a pile and when I came back to them several minutes later, my ratchets were gone. I had to look for them quite awhile before I found them. It's just something in their blood.

One Christmas morning when I was in High school, my male black lab came home with a freezer paper wrapped 12 pound rib roast. I was too ashamed to go door to door looking for the owner. We ate that instead of the ham we had.
We figured someone had a full fridge so they set it outside to keep cool. About 35 degrees that am.

Did you ever notice the ones you care about most allways wind up having the goofiest habit or behavior?

She plays soccer also, had 2 balls going at the same time this morning. Very good dogs, but need something to do.

My 8 month boder collie mix will pack gloves, wrenches, parts, anything she can get ahold of out into the back yard. Take the cap off an empty pepsi bottle, stomp on it, put the cap back on, and she'll play with that for hours.

When my black lab was about 2 yrs old, she swiped a new perscription off the kitchen counter my ex had just picked up from the pharmacy. She took it out in the back yard and chewed it open. I collected up and counted the pills then called her at work to see if she has taken any. She had taken 1 so 1 was missing. Called the vet's and they said to give the dog hydrogen peroxide. I couldn't do this alone, luckly favorite daughter arrived home for the weekend and we forced a shot of peroxide down the dog with ex's turkey baster. A few minutes later the dog heaved her contents including what was left of the pill. The dog is fine. moral of the story..keep medications out of reach of dogs as well as kids!

My border collie used to love the empty pepsi bottles too! I worried about the lids after he got a couple off and was found chewing on the lids. After all bottles were kept out of his reach he decided the squeekers inside of toys were much more fun, until he swallowed one! $1000 later, after surgery and three day hospital stay, he fully recovered. Now there are only frisbee's around that he's just as crazy about! These are not your typical walmart type that are easily chewed, so he is safe from devouring them.

Bryan, that gave me a chuckle.

I just love dog stories - this one is great!
Many years ago (16) we had a new neighbor move in. The first weekend they were in, my border collie mix puppy, decided to check them out and started coming home with sneakers their kids kicked off in the garage!
When I discovered the "new" collection of "toys" in my garage I decided it was time to meet the new neighbors. They were very understanding and thought it was quite funny too! Lucky for me!

I had an English pionter that would hunt just fine until he came across a dry land tortoise in hibernation and dig it out. There was a few times he sneaked back to retrieve one over an hour after I had took it from him and placed it out of his reach in a tree. The weirdest part is that when they would pee in his mouth he would repeateatly drop them and try to get the taste out then pick them up again.

I've got a black lab/pit mix that did this to an unopened dog food can!

I've got a 5 lb. Chihuahua that somebody dumped on us. This dog just LOVES to go on car rides with us. Anyway, whenever he can't go on a car ride with us, but is left in the house alone, he will go into the laundry room and drag out all the used underwear. We might come home and there could be 8-10 pair of underwear lying on top of his blanket that sits right in front of the TV. It's too funny to get on his case.

Misty would toss golf balls in the air and then roll or chase them down the hill in our yard. She would chew the cover off them also. I had a nice 8pt whitetail rack that I was going to put on a board, but it disappeared. It was my fault, I left it where she could reach it.

I have a set of Craftsman screwdrivers that look rather interesting. Several of the handles are missing with only small pieces of the plastic left. Buried that dog about a month ago and still using the tools - he did that when he was a pup 13 years ago. Thankfully the chew marks are a bit more smooth now. Everyone laughed cause I still used them, but I doubt Sears replaces them cause you are too dumb to put them back on the work bench.

I have a buddy that lived between two neighbors, one had a dog the other raised rabbits. The one guys dog killed a couple of rabbits so he wasn't too popular with rabbit guy. One day the dog guy told my buddy his dog came home with a dirty dead rabbit. So he put it in the bathtub washed it with shampoo, then took a hair dryer and gave it a blow dry. That night he snuck over to the rabbit guy's place and put it in a cage. Awhile later the rabbit guy came to my buddy's house and said the weirdest thing just happened. Yesterday I buried a dead rabbit and this morning it was back in it's cage.

My border, Willie, (heard from downstairs with Jakie), always runs with a stick, pine cone, or whatever else he can find. Most recently, we found a collection of planting pots in the back yard, origin unknown. He's never still for long. And fetch is his way of proving that humans were put on this earth to keep him entertained....

I think the dog ate it....
