Lani the Klepto

[Joanie]

I wanted to share the below picture with you.  My Lani girl, at 1 1/2 years old is a Klepto.  She steals everything within reach whether it be mail, a remote, paper, etc... Whatever is within reach she must have it... and not to do anything with it but just carry the object around with pride.  When you try to get it from her she quickly weaves this way and that and tries to outsmart you.  Anyhow, she is not only a Klepto with me and my husband's stuff, but with her sister's as well.  Her sister is a 45 pound English Bulldog named Roxie.  Lani, an ALD is 30 1/2 pounds.  Lani loves to steal Roxie's toys, treats, blankets... and even her food bowl!  This picture was taken the other day when Lani, yet again, stole her sister's beloved red food bowl just to annoy her.  Gotta love my Lani :)

Oh you bratsky!  it makes me crazy when my guy does this - and he does- but it is funny!

Just too cute. We forgive you, but I dont know what Roxie thinks! haha PS...Seamus is a stealer also.( of dirty laundry, ill leave it at that)

[Joanie]

lol too funny!  Roxie hates it by the way... although we have caught Roxie framing Lani a few times.  For example, Roxie has a bone and she knows Lani wants it.  Roxie goes up to Lani, gives her the bone, then walks a few feet away, sits, waits for Lani to put it in her mouth, and then Rox starts crying!  I love my crazy babies :)  they are so much like kids with sibling rivalry.

Awww....you just gotta love those kleptos!!!  Does she "bury" her stash?  My Gus would steal dog dishes and bury them in corners behind a chair, table or the couch or in a closet upstairs.  Eventually, we could tell him to go get his dish and he would bring them all back to us at feeding time. Not sure if this is a "trick" you really want Lani to master ;-)

[Joanie]

lol no she doesn't bury it, she just proudly carries her treasure around the house, wagging her tail as fast as she can.  Gus sounds adorable!
