Fridays with Floyd : Thief

I know everyone thinks this face

(his not mine)

is totally innocent all the time. 

I hate to burst your image of Floyd but, he isn't.

Besides being rascally, he has a bit of a stealing problem.

And I'm 100% certain that performs his stealing act as his daily entertainment.

One Floyd steals something he takes off in a sprint (he's shockingly fast) and does laps around the kitchen table- darting in and out of the chair legs. And I know this is hard to believe, but he's actually really hard to catch. He has quite the method down pat.

It's hard to get mad at him when he has such ridiculous things in his mouth. 

I mean, try reprimanding a dog that has a huge sweet potato in their mouth...I dare you.

However, his stealing ways have ended him up in time out a time or two.

Here are a few of the things he's swiped...

Paper towels/napkins

Dish towels (this one happens every single day)

Sweet potato

Banana (and ate 1/2 the peel)

Christmas ornaments

Socks

Shoe insoles (also every day)

Undergarments

Toothbrushes (ours and guests- embarrassing Floyd!)

Chapstick, gum, granola bars from purses

Clothes

Sandwiches

Make up brushes

Ankle weights

DVDs

Slippers
Half a loaf of banana bread 

And those are just things I can think off the top of my head.

I am not exaggerating when I say I have to chase him down and get something out of his mouth almost every day. 

He is by far the nosiest (and entitled) dog you've ever met.

So 97% of the time he's pretty stinkin good and snuggly.  But the other 3%....whew. Not always an angel.  And if you are ever at our house and missing something, I'd check with the basset.
