Something's coming. I don't know what. But my aging German Shepard has started practicing preparedness and stocking up on supplies recently. It started with simple hoarding of all the toys from our other dogs. Then she moved on and stashed away some boxes of Girl Scout cookies by her bed (she couldn't resist tasting a few to make sure they were OK!) Now she's gotten into canned goods from the pantry. We found cans of lentil soup, chili, and pinto beans in her bed today.

Be forewarned! Animals have a sixth sense you know. The end may be near! eek

Any dog that steals my Thin Mints better also be stockpiling guns.

I dont know...

I have a German Shepard too and generally they are smart enough if they had thumbs I would send mine to diesle mechanic school.

Stocking up on thin mints huh? Sounds like TEOTWAWKI is upon us...

That reminds me, we ordered some GS Cookies from one of our neighbors and they were supposed to be here 2nd week in February. Maybe the snowfall and "County Snow Emergency Levels" have delayed the shipments.

Re: your German Shepard, could these be signs she is ill?

When a GSD is ill it will usually retrieve the FAK from wherever you misplaced it, open it up and start to self-medicate. That's if the owner has properly trained them and gotten their EMT certs. Otherwise they just ignore it and wait for it to go away.

Having had GSD's around for all of my life, I can attest to one sure thing:

You better hide the can opener, cause you ain't gonna like the results if she gets into the beans and chili...

You figure it out.

Haven't you ever heard of cooking with natural gas?

Just gotta say, when my German Shepherd got into the beans and chili, I REALLY wished for the sulphur smell of natural gas rather than what he was putting out ......

I've had one or two Dobermans living with me for close to 40 years and I learned the hard way NEVER, EVER to leave the kitchen towel attached to the handle on the fridge! Some things are just better off not learned.
