Strange dog that i have. Got up this morning to find jake had learnt how to open the fridge. The fridge for once was actually full but all he had helped himself to was a yoghurt.
He must be watching his waistline
Someone in my OH's side of the family said their brother has a lab who can open the fridge and they have to keep it padlocked because it will eat everything
Not labs but my parents' two dachshunds learnt how to open the fridge/freezer. One evening, before supper, we all went out with distant relations of my father's who had come to stay for the weekend. My mother had never met the wife before! She left supper all prepared and a leg of lamb for Sunday lunch in the fridge. When we got home the whole cold supper - coronation chicken (for 6 people), potato salad and a whole pavlova had disappeared. They had only managed to eat half way through a dish of homemade coleslaw - obviously getting a bit full at this point. The leg of lamb had been reduced to a chop and was covered in dirty paw marks where they had had to tread on it to tear it to pieces....... My father just shut the kitchen door and told my mother it would be "better not to go in".
My mother managed to do an omelette out of 6 eggs and my husband and I were sent home with a flea in our ear after my husband made some kind of a "I told you so" remark (he is my ex-husband by the way!) Smart ar*e. The relations never came back for another weekend and obviously thought we were all a bit "odd"!!
The terrible two in their lifetime consumed, among other things and off the top of my head, a pound block of frozen butter, a whole box of Polyfilla, pounds and pounds of chocolates and not forgetting a wholesome daily diet of cat poo! Sadly, and probably due to her terrible scavenging and thieving, one of them developed diabetes in her later years and died.

She could have wiped my feet first
my dog (lab cross) that we had when i was small ate about 20 pairs of shoes, a whole christmas cake, 3 selection boxes (including wrappers) and a bag of pork chops off the back of a womens pushchair!(these are a few things that stick in my mind , there were plenty more lol) she also used to escape regularly and raid peoples bins !
I have a bucket filled with copper coins in front of my fridge to stop Jasper from emptying it !
I have tried various stick on child locks but he has defeated all of my efforts to keep him out so far !
He can open all of the house doors too consisting of pull handles and suffolk latches so i have to keep the outised doors locked with a deadlock otherwise he would take himself off for a walk.
Trouble with the bucket is that he uses it to counter surf the cat food GRRRR
the fridge door was one of the first things that max mastered perfectly (got his prioritys sorted did my lad ) at 10 months he was an expert at it quick push with the nose and open it came
so the fridge has now had to be placed in the corner of the kitchen with the door against the wall so he cant get his nose or pawon it
hes still trying to work out why he cant do the same with the freezer (Shhhhh dont tell him !! its a chest freezer )
