I love my dogs. And they love me. But they are liars.
My dogs lie to my family members about the last time they were fed…so it was not uncommon for them to end up with second-breakfast or second-dinner. We had to develop a fridge magnet system
My dogs lie to strangers about their training. Not all the time. Just often enough to keep me humble and to remind me not to brag. For example, as soon as I utter a statement such as, “she knows this really well” that she will suddenly act as if I have never trained the requested behavior before. Then, to add insult to injury, as soon as the witness to my statement is gone, the behavior is magically back. Sigh.
My dogs lie to other dog-lovers about their well-being. No, my dog is not filthy because I don’t allow him in the house. He is filthy because he prefers to roll in the dirt to bring as much of the outdoors inside as he possibly can.
This is my Border Collie, Gumby. She LOVES to bring dirt in the house. LOL
My dogs are liars. Do your dogs lie too? I’d love to hear your funny stories about how your dogs are liars.
LOL too cute. The fridge magnet idea is genius.
Thank you 😊 I’ll update this post after class to include a link to the magnet I use. It’s SUPER helpful to prevent second-breakfast & second-dinner LOL
Updated 🙂 Now you can click on “fridge magnet system” to see the magnet we use!
This is funny. My dog is a liar, too, especially about his training. It’s always when someone is watching that he won’t do the tricks.
Mr. N doesn’t really lie to me really but there was this one time when our foster pup was sleeping in the spot that Mr. N considers his spot. Mr. N went over and invited him to play and thirty seconds later, Mr. N came flying back and reclaimed his rightful spot.
Definitely – Kilo the greedy Pug convinces anyone he can find in the kitchen that he has not eaten for days. He has us all well trained with positive reinforcement. It is so damn rewarding to feed him. He regularly gets 2 breakfasts or even 3 as our family tend to leave for work in shifts. He also pretends he is a dragon from Game of Thrones on the street sometimes. No one who saw him would know how loving and sweet he is at home.
My dogs love to lie. They say they haven’t been fed in weeks!
We tend to lie about when we’ve had our treats
LOL this was a great post, and YES my dogs are huge liars!!!
My kitties are liars! They will take as much food as we will give them. They have gotten extra meals a couple of times. Your dogs sound like they have you all figured out. 🙂
LOL! One of my dogs definitely lies about not being fed! She go over to my husband & acts like she is starving when I just fed her 20 minutes ago! They have also been know to lie about their ability to behave well in public.
Love & Biscuits,
Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them
If I say my dog is going to bark, she wont. If I say my dog won’t jump, she will. Happens every time 🙂
Lie no. 1 is common in our house too – we call them ‘storytellers’ – thankfully there are only 2 humans here so they can’t be feed more than twice each evening!
Aww how cute, and I think the magnet idea is genius. I have the same issue with Laika; she loves telling my boyfriend that she’s hungry & hasn’t eaten all the time, and I know she’s gotten extra meals many times because of it. I’m so thankful there’s only two of us here, I could just imagine the chaos if she had more people to tell about how hungry she was…
My dogs are always trying to get second breakfast and second dinner. It has worked a few times.
LOL this is hysterical – Dexter hasn’t seen the bone he buried in ages
