Hypothetical Dog Behavior Question

Not that this happened in my house, but what would you do under the following scenario . . .
Let's presume you own a large dog, one what is big enough to stand up and eat things off of your kitchen counter.

Let's presume that your lovely and thoughtful spouse made a casserole type dish for dinner.

Let's presume that you walked downstairs and were greeted by afore mentioned large dog who was licking his/her lips.

Let's presume you walked into the kitchen and noticed that a modest portion of the casserole is missing.​
All that said, would you:
  1. Scream at the dog for contaminating your dinner
  2. Praise the dog because you don't like casserole and he/she saved you from having to eat it
  3. Quietly take out a spoon and smooth over the top of the casserole so it appears to be intact
Now, I'm not suggesting that this has occurred in my home as recently as this evening, nor are you admitting to anything (if your spouse reads these forums) but what would you do?


This is Misha, peering into the garage from outside.

4. Mutter to yourself about how you should have trained the dog better. :poke:


Best bet would probably be to scream at the dog. The dog will eventually forget the whole thing and still love you. If the wife finds out about 2 or 3, it will never be forgotten.

Oh, I forgot this one:
Let's presume that your spouse taught the dog to pick dog biscuits off the edge of the counter despite your objections because you taught the dog to stay off the counters! :w00t:​

Oh, and presume that you are lactose intolerant.
 
I can relate. :pat:

Your only hope is number 1, or pleading non compos mentis. I think you have a case there. :poke:

Just before dinner you tell the wife you are not hungry, a dinner plate is not needed as you will not be eating dinner tonight.

Later on just sneak some of those great snacks you like in the snack thread and everyone will be happy including the dog as he gets the rest of your dinner portion that you did not eat. Everyone wins.........:thumb: Everyone goes to sleep happy........:w00t2:
 
That might be a good suggestion, if not for one fatal flaw...

..she WILL find out about number 2, somehow she just will. :pat:
 
So Bob, did you tell your family before or after you served the dish???:smile: Oh and what did you have for supper???:rolf2:
 
My dog has a clean mouth.

What remains undetected can't be used in court against me. Nor can it be used to justify killing me in my sleep.

The spoon is in the dishwasher.
 
Not to change the subject but my daughter shares her food a lot with the dog, yeah ice cream cone let the dog lick and then she would lick right after. :puke1:
 
Doesn't sound like any of your options are good ones Bob. Sounds like Pizza and a little re-training is in order..






you can decide who...:rolleyes:

Bob, don't worry you will be fine if the dog invites you, as you are sure to have real people food!!!!!!! :rolf2:And the rest of the family, will get leftover people food, maybe? :w00t:
