Dammit boog do not try Jedi mind tricks on the man

Really boog I should have never let you watch Star Wars. So I went upstairs to use the bathroom and once again stop and cover up our one son. The kid is like me he is a rough sleeper kicking covers off knocking pillows on the floor.

And I come downstairs into the kitchen and the chocolate Jedi is standing with a loaf of bread. Still in the wrapping hanging from his mouth a counter surfing score. I had it out to toast with the cream chipped beef I’m making.

Man- drop that you knuckle head

Boog - going Obi -wan Kenobi total jedi wagging his tail there is nothing to see here move along.

And the arrogant shit tries to saunter past me heading to the living room with the loaf of bread hanging from his mouth. He ripped the bag so it is now a peanut butter sandwich loaf of dog bread when we give out dog medicine. We usually buy the cheap bread for that this is the artisan bread my wife and boys like.

I was watching the tube when I saw her jump up on a chair at the kitchen table. Mom had just made herself a ham sandwich and had set it on the table. I watched as Nancy grabbed the ham and slid it out with out moving the bread, tomato and lettuce. Mom sat down and ate the sandwich and ask me why I was laughing so hard.

I miss my granddog! My daughter and her husband split up (long time coming), he moved out and took Lucy the black lab. This was mutually agreed upon as son-in-law is more attached to her. But I’m at their house every day watching the kids and I miss my big black lap dog and crumb cleaner! The kids will see her all the time at their dad’s but I won’t

Named Caleb can magically make an entire loaf of whole wheat disappear before I've even realized I left the loaf in reach. A high shelf remains cleared specifically for bread storage, although I think Caleb may have taken more after the wookie than others.

My granddog (see above ) would rather have bread than a steak. She was a wonderful help around the house. Kids spill cereal? Gone. Entire glass of milk on the kitchen floor? Wiped clean. One time the little one dumped a box of Cheerios in the living room. No vacuum cleaner needed.

Unfortunately, my two have started sneaking around to "clean out" the kitty box.

Gets worked over till I'm worried he's licking the enamel off the dish. Every day my fur babies have always been founts of joy to soothe the most difficult of times. Caleb is in his senior years now at 13. He'd be the sort to hang on relentlessly, has to have his daily prednisone to keep some tumors in check, although he's getting a week's vacation from that due to bloating that quickly resolves within a few days. It's hilarious to see him react like an excited kid on Christmas morning with every new toy or chew bone I bring home.

9. Walking stomachs.

Labradors are soft and friendly and cuddly. But food,or the prospect of stealing some, brings out the dormant wolf in them. More so than other breeds.

And that walking stomach is a wonder to behold. Cast iron, with an acid bath that will dissolve anything. Things that maght kill other dogs, like a full box of chocolates (wrappers left in a neat pile) or a Christmas turkey, as yet uncooked, doesn't faze them.
(Ask me or my wife how we know that.)

But Boog? He just found that bread, he asked if it belonged to anyone and got no answer. So he claimed finder's rights. Seems fair - if your brain works like that of a labrador's.

The two loaves were cooling on the counter when I went to answer the phone. It took about two minutes. When I got back, my Newfie was standing there licking his chops. (He was considerate enough to leave me some crumbs).
