    JK> I keep a plastic container of sugar in a drawer in my kitchen (a big   
    JK> bin type  drawer kind of low to the floor).. everytime I open that   
    JK> container, there are  at least two snouts (sometimes 3) trying to sneak   
    JK> a taste.. it kills me.    
      
    Wow, I did not know dogs were attracted to sweets. But with what You   
    say and that Cherry carmex smell, it was just something I overlooked   
    until now.   
      
       
    > Well, I can tell You this, My dog Simon, can pick out a dog on every   
    > commercial on tv that has one. Even if there is no barking or anything,   
    > when one shows up on screen, and Your not going to believe this, but even   
      
    > real dog ) He drives me crazy, he runs over and barks and then runs behind   
    > the tv barking.   
      
      
    JK> I keep watching my three to see if they notice the dogs on the   
    JK> screen.. they  don't seem to care unless they hear one barking.. then   
    JK> it's a dash out the dog  door since they're sure it must have come from   
    JK> outside haha    
      
    Simon is a little nut to begin with. He sees the dogs or anything on   
    four legs he thinks is a dog and runs right over to the tv and starts   
    barking. His brother looks at me as if to say, Simons goin bananas   
    again Dad, whats his problem? Heheheheh   
      
      
    > dogs barking or Dog himself has a couple dogs, so I don't watch that as You   
    > can't hear what is going on...   
      
    JK> Man, that is crazy.. and I get upset when the three dogs here decide   
    JK> they need  to sit on the couch with us Lol.. You can't just let one dog   
    JK> sit with you,  since then the other two try to jump up.. we might as   
    JK> well sit on the floor if  that should happen haha   
       
   Oh yeah, they get jealous if they think one is getting special   
   treatment, and they, aren't. When the couch was full, my newfie when he   
   knew that I wanted to sit down, would sit there sideways and would turn   
   and rest his head on the backrest of the couch and look at the wall, as   
   if to say, If I can't see you, You're not there. Therefore, I don't   
   realize You want to sit down. :-)    Him and I would usually get into an   
   argument then about who had dibs on the couch. Sometimes he'd look at me   
   with those big brown eyes, and I would realize he had dibs :-))  Spoiled   
   brat.   
      
       
    > Dad only had one cat to worry about, I can imagine when a bunch conspire   
    > together.   
      
    JK> One cat is enough sometimes :) When I was growing up we had  two.. I   
    JK> had mine  that I found in the basement when the momma had a litter, and   
    JK> my sister had the  momma .. those two cats and our Irish setter got   
    JK> into more trouble and  definitely conspired.. like the time the cats   
    JK> knocked a platter of cupcakes I  made for Latin class to the floor, and   
    JK> Red (the dog) ate every single one.    
      
   Hahahaha Teamwork!!!   
      
    >I don't know if I mentioned this a few years back or not. But I   
    > remember one Year My Mother had passed, and Dad was alone, and My sister   
    > had been away for years. We invited them over for Thanksgiving. I was in   
    > charge of the Turkey. Cleared the kitchen of everyone, and Turkey was   
    > resting that 20 minutes or so to make it nice for carving. Went down into   
    > the Family room with everyone else. There is a Thud! Looked up into the   
    > Kitchen and my Newfoundland was chowing down on the turkey. He pulled it   
    > off the counter and was digging in real good.   
      
    JK> WOW :) :) :)   
       
    >My sister still laughs her   
    > head off every time Turkey day comes around and she remembers how mad I got   
    > when everyone sat around and instead of Turkey with all the trimmings, we   
    > had trimmings without a turkey    
      
    JK> And a very very full dog no doubt :) :)   
      
   Janis, they all thought it was funny, But I was hopping mad at him.. He   
   wasn't necessarily full. I grabbed it away from him, but I will be   
   honest, You won't believe what ran through my head. "oh, can we wash   
   it? Or can we just serve the other side" heheheheh I knew none of that   
   would be possible but it still ran through my head in a panic. He and I   
   had long conversations every time a holiday came up from then on. ;-)   
      
      
      
      
      
   Have a good One!
