One evening last week I was working on my computer and decided I wanted a little snack. I opened a box of crackers, grabbed a couple, and left the box on the kitchen counter. As I was sitting back at my computer, Sheba came up to me with her rear end wiggling away and holding her mouth in a funny way. She’s a dead giveaway when she has something she’s not supposed to, I can always tell by the goofy way she’s acting. I think it’s a Golden Retriever thing. Luckily if I tell her to give it to me she will. Here’s what she had:
We use clothespins to keep bags closed, in this case the bag inside the cracker box. But how on earth did she get that? It’s not like her to countersurf. So I went out into the kitchen to see what was going on.
I know that box of crackers was sitting right there. Where did it go?
OK, I found them, strange as it might seem that they are sitting perfectly upright on the barstool. Now who is responsible for this? You might be as surprised as I was to find the prime suspect nearby, trying to look innocent.
I still found it difficult to believe, but my hubby confirmed that she often tries to steal dog treats or any other food that might get left out on the counter!
In further mischief, the cat bed/dog bed wars continue. In this episode, a compromise was reached:
I don’t like that red bed, because it’s difficult to keep clean, so we bought Conrad an early Christmas present and got him a new bed which I hoped he would like as much as that one. I was pleasantly surprised when he took to it immediately:
However, he’s not the only one that likes it:
Conrad: Dude, you’re in my bed.
Cricket: Whatever.
Conrad: Dude, in case you haven’t noticed, we have you surrounded.
Cricket: I’m not scared of you two.
Conrad: Grrrrr…..
Cricket: Zzzzzzz…..
I just love all the cat/dog bed pics, if there was a cat in my house there would be so much chaos I don’t even think there would be time for any photos! 🙂
Btw, I think hubby’s right, it was the cat who took the crackers! 🙂
I hope you’re having a fun day,
Your pal Snoopy 🙂
Yes, I bet there would be chaos, Snoopy, because those cats are real troublemakers! 🙂
Thanks for coming by, buddy!
One of my cats loves dog treats and kibble too. 🙂
The bed saga you are having over there is too funny. Good try buying another bed…sorry it didn’t work as well as you expected. LOL! 🙂
Samantha never used to do that, her sister Katie did though. It’s new for her lately.
At least Conrad gets to use what is really HIS bed SOME of the time!
Oh how this made me LAUGH!! Cody KNOWS he is NOT allowed on the counter and like your kitty, he is up there ALL of the time and tries to get into everything! Thank goodness you caught that clothespin though! The expression on your cat’s face is priceless!
Oh and Shelties act the same when they have something that they shouldn’t!
Oh, that’s funny….I was thinking the beagles don’t do that, but they don’t pick up as much stuff as Sheba does.
Yes, Samantha is only supposed to be on the counter to eat….but we see how that works!
Hilarious!! If Emmett and Newt teamed up, I’d be in such big trouble…
Oh yes, I bet you would!! Better keep an eye on them! 🙂
Oh my dog! Hilarious! A picture most definitely is worth a thousand words!
Thanks, Flea, so glad you enjoyed it!
Poor Conrad. Lots of mischief going on at your house.
You’d think everyone would give the poor old guy a bit more respect….he is the oldest of the pets!

Thank you! I will definitely try to join up next time…it will be good when the crazy holidays are over and some time frees up (I hope)!
what a great post!! LOL
Silly kitty up to no good huh? Its funny, everybody always instantly thinks the dogs did it in a situation like that, now wonder our cats always sit there with a sly look on their faces hehe!
((hugz)) from your husky buddies at “love is being owned by a husky”
Thank you!! I know, the poor dogs, the cats always do seem to take advantage of that fact! Hugs back to you from all of us!
Too funny about the crackers and the beds! the brown dawgs just knew a cat was to blame for the mischief!
Those cats are sneaky ones, but they don’t always get away with it!
Oh that’s right…blame the cat! 😉 MOL!
If the furry suit fits….. 🙂
oh my, this whole blog-had me laughing all the way through it!! TOO funny!
Thanks, Lynn!! That’s the fun of having pets….they provide lots of entertainment!
I can tell you first paw…cats are bad news! They steal stuff all the time and try to frame us dogs but Mom is onto them now…no more of that around here!
Yes, we no longer get fooled by them either!
Hehehe how funny that the cat was the one who got the crackers! My old cat would have never touched crackers. She just wasn’t in to people food.
We used to have one cat that loved popcorn!
Ha ha really cool story line there. Our Zoey girl which is a wiener dog will guard anything food wise that is left in the floor. I am talking about a box of candy that may be under the xmas tree or a tin of popcorn. We have never been able to break her from doing that.
Yeah, we can’t even leave any food on the floor around here….obviously even the kitchen counter isn’t a safe place! LOL
So funny how the Golden gives herself away when she’s up to something. Typical Golden. 🙂 And it cracks me up that Cricket had to go over and get in that new bed right away. I used to always say our beagle was a cat in a beagle suit. Wondering if Cricket might not be the same?
Oh yes, she absolutely is. She has all the stubbornness and independence of a cat. She also likes to go and hang out with them in the bedroom sometimes! The other two dogs never do that.
It’s the same as kids. You could have two of the exact same bed and they would both want the same one. There hasn’t been arguing about beds yet here but they both always want to sit in my lap.
Oh, I know, whatever the other one has is the best. I wonder if I moved them around what would change? They all like the one closest to the woodstove also, and I’m not sure if it’s location or type that makes the difference. I can’t afford to upgrade all of them! 🙂
