Mischief Monday: Apples

Apparently, Koira thought her meal yesterday was too small. The dogs each got just under a pound of stew meat (I normally prefer feeding whole roasts, but my sister gave me this stew meat for free when cleaning out the freezer, and I am not one to turn down free meat for the dogs!). I fed them it still half frozen, so that it was slightly harder to eat than a bunch of little chunks of meat.

Apparently, it wasn't enough.

Koira always comes and finds me when she finishes eating and looks at me mournfully. I know she is hoping for more food. Some times I do feed them in "courses" and they'll get something more. Not this time, though. The chicken quarters thawing out were for today, not for dessert last night.

Koira then chewed on a bone for a while (left over from some round roasts). I headed to bed to read for a while before going to sleep. While I was reading, I suddenly started hearing a crunching noise. Not good when the last thing I saw the dog with was a bone.

Find Koira. See what she is eating. An apple. She stole one of my apples from the bag of them near the door. How strange. When she finished that one, she went back for another! In all, Koira helped herself to three apples. She was rummaging around in the bag for another one, but I told her I think that was plenty. She actually listened, I guess, because she came back out of the bag without an apple. Silly dog.

And Pallo, of course, was all jealous that Koira had apples. He would stare at her, then at me, asking where his was. And I had to tell him, Hey, I didn't give her that, she totally stole it!

  5. Elka loves apples too.

    Funny that she both stole them on her own but listened when you cut her off!

  6. Elli did this too at my aunt's house a few weeks ago! Only, she counter-surfed to do it. Stole it right out of the grocery bag, pranced over to her bed and began gnawing. She definitely checked that counter a few more times before leaving. :)

  8. As it's been said... at least it was a healthy snack! It's a lot better than waking up to her mowing down on a bone. Yikes!

  9. That is the cutest story! I love it that Pallo thought he was missing out on something you dished out. Sounds like something Kaya & Norman would do. They always lick each other's dishes after mealtime as if there'd be leftovers:/ And if I give them a bone or bully stick, the first one to get it waits til the other gets theirs, just to make sure they weren't getting something better I guess!

  10. We've got an apple tree in the garden and they drop millions. I'm supposed to pick them up and put them in a bucket, but I just like to play with them *wag wag wag* You can come and eat as many as you like!

  12. I am glad to hear that you fee meat half raw too. I started doing that because it forces Chester and Gretel to chew the pieces. If they are thawed they will totally gobble them...and part of the reason I feed meat is so they chew it and it helps clean their teeth. I did wonder if it was ok for them to east something so cold though.
