<p>Once my wife took some cake to the living room for breakfast. She had to go to the bathroom and left the cake on the coffee table. I was in the kitchen getting my cake, while Yoda is looking at me begging for food. When she came back, the plate was empty and cleaned. There was no sign there ever was a cake. My wife thought that I was playing joke on her. Then we realize, it was Chewie, who ate and the lick the plate clean in less than 30 sec. Chewie then left the scene of the crime…</p>

<p>Ha hah!! That IS funny!</p>
<p>Recently I <em>ruined</em> Ruby and Cassie by giving them each a carrot stick while I was eating dinner. This was a big mistake on the human's part, because now a certain pair of dogs believe that human dinnertime = Corgi carrot time.</p>
<p>This probably would have been OK had it been Cassie alone. Her style of begging is pretty much limited to the guilt-inducing stare, which I find easy to ignore.</p>

<p>Ruby, however, is gifted with a flamboyantly dramatic flair. She trots back and forth in the kitchen, peering expectantly up at the countertop. After awhile, Cassie picked up on this, and now whenever I sit down to the table, they start charging around the kitchen in circles, glaring at the counter. I'm doooomed! If I'm to have a single mouthful of food in peace, I have to get up and slice a carrot for the little monsters!</p>
<p>Hand a carrot stick to each dog, and they split up and run off in two directions. Ruby lopes down the hall toward her nest in the back bathroom, glancing warily over her shoulder just like a coyote. Cassie trots into the family room and takes up her position on the dog rug -- as far from the back end of the house as she can get. No fear of hijacking going on there... ;-)</p> Wow!

<p>I would love to know the reasoning behind my dog, Sully's, separation anxiety. The neighbors note some very brief initial barking and whining anytime I leave her alone, followed by hours of calm silence. I do note some signs of struggle on my return, but nothing serious. What has me baffled is how she handles the treats I leave for her in my absence. I usually leave her one ""Bully stick" and two or more of her favorite dental, "Greenies."

What has me baffled is how she handles the treats I leave for her in my absence. I usually leave her one ""Bully stick" and two or more of her favorite dental, "Greenies." She ALWAYS saves two greenies until I return, no matter how long I am gone. When I return, she runs of to me with her "No tail Nub" wagging and a Greenie in her mouth. She leaves one Greenie with me and she relaxes beside me and eats the other when I return. What crazy Corgi Madness prompts this weird but sweet behavior? Is it common to the breed?

<p>Bella's most famous food accident was the time she got into a tub of coffee ice-cream. It was the superbowl and we were shopping for snacks and left her in the house with the groceries for a couple minutes while we were preoccupied. Well, by the time I got inside, the ice cream bag was ripped open and the carton was dug up and torn through, and all the ice cream was GONE! It was on the floor, and in her tummy.

<p>If I take meat out to defrost I have to put it in the microwave so he doesn't open the package. With just the 2 of us we usually eat our dinner while watching recorded TV. I can't leave the platter of meat on the island and go in the other room, I have to put it in the oven or the microwave or he will eat it.</p>
<p>Both my red/white boys were ones for the paws in the glass of milk. I miss both those cats so much. Arnie, my first corgi, had a thing for cranberry juice. You didn't dare leave a glass sitting there and walk out of the room, you would come back to an empty glass. He was real good about it too..never knocked over a single one.</p> We have 2 enforcers here.

<p>We have 2 enforcers here. They enforce the rules for the cats. If I am too far from a cat to stop them or just plain too lazy to get up all I have to do is say the cat's name and both dogs handle the offender. They discipline with barking and a good chase around the house.</p>

I have another funny Jack food story. Jack is "the enforcer" around the house; he firmly believes in house rules and tattles when anyone breaks them.<br />
<br />
Yesterday evening, I was upstairs doing some bills and I heard Jack give his "there's something wrong here!" bark (not a warning bark, but an "I need human assistance" bark).<br />
<br />
I didn't think there was much that could have happened (sometimes it's just a dish left on the counter or a light in the laundry room) so I finished what I was doing and…

Yesterday evening, I was upstairs doing some bills and I heard Jack give his "there's something wrong here!" bark (not a warning bark, but an "I need human assistance" bark).<br />
<br />
I didn't think there was much that could have happened (sometimes it's just a dish left on the counter or a light in the laundry room) so I finished what I was doing and went downstairs.<br />
<br />
There, I found Maddie busily working her way through eating a whole banana, peel and all, while Jack stood behind her looking worried ("See mom, I TOLD you she was being naughty!").<br />
<br />
I should add that Jack ALWAYS gets dropped food first, can steal toys from Maddie, and that Maddie does not growl if Jack takes stuff from her. So I'm guessing Jack knew not to touch the banana.<br />
<br />
I went into the kitchen to find my husband's work bag knocked down, his lunch bucket open and empty on the floor--- the banana had clearly come from there. I blame the cat for knocking it down.<br />
<br />
As best I can tell, the bag hit the floor, Maddie started nosing through, Jack called for help while I foolishly ignored him, Maddie got the banana and took it into the living room while Jack hovered behind her mumbling "You are SO not supposed to have that."<br />
<br />
I gave him a nice big hunk of banana (with no peel!) as a reward. Linda, we have a pure white c…tag:mycorgi.com,2013-04-11:1150197:Comment:17341842013-04-11T16:04:52.329ZBethhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/Beth306
Linda, we have a pure white cat with blue eyes who goes into pots and pans on the stove or sink.<br />
<br />
I have walked in after eating to find her dipping her paw into the pan that held bacon grease, licking the paw and then dipping again. She then proceeds to leave greasy paw marks everywhere.<br />
<br />
I have used the "SSSCat" air sprayer to keep her off the counters but the effect soon fades, since she's a bold kitty.
