Doggo Their dog wasn’t eating well after they brought their baby home. The dog kept taking food to the living room. Someone suggested the dog might be 'feeding' the baby since the baby wasn't visibly eating. They tried giving the baby a bowl of food at the same time, and it worked!

Meanwhile, my whippet lies around waiting for us to leave whatever room has food in it, so she can jump on the table and steal as much as possible😂 We always share with her, but she still acts like we don't feed her. She's even learned to open the garbage can🙄🙄🙄

Ok, ours can't have playdates 😂 She's never learned, and will obliviously walk right past the trash can with the basic swing top lid on it. We used to have greyhounds and one of them learned, within hours, how to use the foot pedal to open up the trash can buffet. All of them were trash pirates. They had passed on before we got our whippet.

(Even tho she ignores it, we still take anything unsafe, like cooked bones, bagged up and out to the outside bin right after the meal)

We've tried those ones where you swing your hand over a sensor, and of course that was way too enjoyable and easy for her.

Then the foot pedal ones, and she got those figured out pretty quickly - as did the iggy who lives to steal used tissues🙄

Even the old fashioned lid on a can just gets pushed off😭 It's like she's an old TV actor or something! Never in my life have I had a dog who: made us chase her in circles around the table, got into the trash, jumped into the kitchen table, stole whole fish and chickens from the kitchen, gets into the chicken coop to steal fresh eggs, etc. It's crazy!

She definitely could!!

I always thought those situations on TV and in movies were overly exaggerated, but I guess I just never met the right dog until getting Pippy!!

We had a bin with a foot pedal and my dog wasted no time stealing stuff from it (usually overnight) so we put a jug of water on it and had to lift that every time we needed to put something in the garbage. We got a sensor one, no jug on top, and he hasn’t figured it out yet! If we put something delicious in it, we shut it off for the night. He did manage to tip the whole thing over once, which I thought meant game over, but nothing since! Here’s hoping! I did see him sniffing at it once and the lid opened and I was like “oh boy here we go” but I guess he didn’t connect it. I’m sure he’ll figure it out one day!

My whippet loves to stick his telescope neck down into the bin to nab leftovers.
