Just last week, Ramona discovered that she could get into our kitchen trash. We keep it in a cabinet under the sink. Since that time, she has spread trash around the kitchen at least 5 times, all the while eating all sorts of things she shouldn't. One day, she managed to eat chicken wing bones, chocolate chip cookies, pizza-grease-stained cardboard, and god knows what else. We had adapted our habits a bit already---we learned the hard way not to leave anything out on the counter (loaves of bread, brownies, a cantaloupe, even an onion), as nothing was safe from our abnormally tall dog with an abnormally large appetite (well, normal for a lab I suppose). We tried reasoning with her (well, mainly we yelled), but it was no use. Now that she knows the trash is there, it's over. So, we went out and bought a gate. On a related note, a google image search for "dog trash can" pulled up this Barbie pooper scooper set, which apparently is no longer available for purchase.

Thankfully our dogs have never figured out the trash. Granted one is too short to even reach it... We keep our pups in a crate during the day just for that - I am afraid of what they are going to get into. More afraid of them getting hurt or sick by what they get into than I am worried about them actually destroying anything.
The Brown Menace strikes again!
Oddly enough our finicky cat will eat just about anything if he finds it on our plates, but would never eat the same things if offered in his own bowl.
Love the look on Barbie's face as she's cleaning up the dog poo, btw! She's like a Stepford Wife.
I found one of those sets for sale!
Apparently they are collectible... oooh...

brown menace! sad puppy. though, couldn't she just walk over that baby gate?
What's incredible about that Barbie set is that the "food" the dog eats is the same waste Barbie picks up with her pooper scooper. So you feed the dog the pellets, it poops the pellets, and then you feed it back to the dog. Isn't that awesome to teach kids?
Doh!!!! Naughty girl.
