We though she had "got it" w/r/t counter-surfing. She had pulled
a couple of things down that were attached with a string to a
coin can, and then it seemed to stop.

A package of bratwurst was too much temptation. She took
advantage of our brief departure from the kitchen and scarfed
down nearly a pound. Hubster came back in to find her licking
the empty package.

A quick application of hydrogen peroxide brought the brats back
up - it's pork and fatty, not exactly doggie health food.

What was amazing was that (TMI alert - stop reading here ...)

Never mind the genetic testing I think the swallowing whole links of
sausage confirms her breed. She must be a Lab.

I am teasing and recalling my hog dog Buck who appeared to be a Lab. He
could consume more food than any dog I have ever had and like Molly he
didn't bother to chew when he was in a pressure situation like counter
surfing.

The other night David had a pan of red velvet cupcakes on the counter.
While no one was looking, Maggie managed to eat the tops off four of
them. David was ready to kill her, but couldn't help noticing that she
got all of the top of the first one, then less and less as she went down
the row...apparently the pan wasn't quite even on the counter.

However, it beats sandals any day of the week!

A good friend of mine had a black lab named Chile (hint, never name a
lab after a food item, it makes things worse). She was a very small lab
and had not just horrible conformation but also severe elbow dysplasia.
Didn't stop her from getting what she wanted. Once, in her old age, we
went over to my friend's for dinner and I took a Panera Bread
mini-asiago. For those of you who aren't familiar with panera, it's a
narrow loaf, about 12" long by 3" high and 4" wide.

Now mind you, Chile could no longer get on the counter. But she
convinced the Springer to knock it down for her then off she went. They
were so sneaky that we had no clue until we eyed her suddenly
suspiciously large stomach. You could clearly see the outline of the
loaf in there. Not much chewing going on.

She passed it just fine.

Chile is a country in South America, not a food.

Same goes for a Chihuahua - my Chile's appetite didn't have an
"off" switch!

Um, Chard... "chile" is also Spanish for "hot pepper," mostly in
use in the Americas. As in chile ancho, chile de arbol, chile
rojo, chile verde, chile piquin... and chile con carne (not
"chili con carni" as I've seen it *******ized in the Midwest, but
then, the dish itself was *******ized).

And there's chile renello. Anyway, apparently none of this was on the
mensa test.

And since Chile's owner just happens to also be a gourmet chef...

Chile is gone now, but she was a bright spirit despite a lifetime of
dealing with some really horrendous genetic problems caused by poor
breeding.
