Do you find yourself saying.......

I love my 7 month Morgan with all my heart. My husband and I are crazy about her. We laugh at all her little antics all day long. Some times it gets a bit much. When we see a streak of brown fur running  by and going behind the couch, we know she has something. This happens at least 20 times a day. And we are watching her. she is a thief. We find ourself saying I CAN" TAKE IT ANYMORE. We are not young and get tired. I guess we spoil her. I don't know what we would do without her. I guess sit on the couch.....

In absolute agreement! Zoey is a thief, but makes me laugh and smile! And it looks like Gyosy may be headed in that direction!

Zoey is training Gypsy! :D

[Mary ann & Lincoln]

Lincoln is 15 months old and is a thief too!   We have to hide everything!!!  He loves socks, towels, tissues, toss pillows even his bed etc.  UGHHH   Sometimes it is funny.  If he even hears the laundry room or bedroom door open he just materializes to see if he can snatch a towel or sock!.  He won't give them back either.  He doens;t usually eat them, but will run all over the house.  It is annoying especially if he does grab something that he can swallow.  He won't do leave it or drop once he as something only if you catch him before he gets it!   

 He never used to tear up his stuffed toys either, but has started that too. so now only bones and balls that he can not destroy.  Love him to death but it is tiring some days!

Ace does the same thing, but I have noticed that he will only do it when he is bored and not getting attention. A plate of food or a napkin can be on the table when he's home alone and will not touch it. But if we're home and busy doing things, he'll grab something, come to you with it so that you can see he has something, and then he takes off. Usually he runs around the dining room table because he knows doing that makes him hard to catch.

Usually we continue to ignore him and he'll drop it.

I agree on the bored part.  Ludo LOVES stealing dish towels and oven mitts from the basket that happens to be at his eye level, but I really only notice him doing it when I am busy or he is overdue for a walk or some playtime.  He just grabs something and runs off to his bed.  If I catch him in the act, I tell him to leave it and he does, otherwise, I just go pick it up... I was cooking breakfast this morning and by the time I finished, he had 3 oven mitts and a dish towel on his bed but he had busied himself by chewing on an antler right next to his pile of treasures.

It's nice to know we are not alone with the silly things our doodles do. Sometimes I laugh so hard I can't breathe.
