Bread = Thirst

What I learned from my dogs this past week:

1. When a dog eats a full size loaf of multigrain bread, a dog gets very thirsty.
2. When left at home alone all day with a bucket of water a dog will choose to take the occasional slurp from the toilet and then, immediately upon the arrival of its family proceed to run back and forth to the water bucket drinking and dripping all 4 litres of water over the entire main floor.
3. When a dog is called to come to its owner at the dog park to go home, a dog will stop and consider this decision for 4.33 minutes, and will only be convinced to do the right thing if you feed all other dogs near you Scooby Snacks.
4. For some dogs, suprisingly, eating an entire loaf of multigrain bread does not give them diarrhea.
5. Some dogs when given the choice between Kleenex and used diapers (peed only thankfully) and bread will ALWAYS choose the former (note this is not the same dog as mentioned in #4).
6. When dogs loose 4 and 1/2 pounds of hair, they run around like mad hatters until they tire out and will then curl themselves into the tiniest ball possible on the couch, looking super pathetic, and not move for 10-20 hours.
7. When trying to nap on the couch, the stink of a dogs breath is multiplied by a factor of 100 when the dog continually puts its nose 1/8 of an inch from yours.
8. Even with a riding toddlers toy on top of the step-on garbage can and two kitchen chairs wedged in front of it, a dog that has been starved to a mere 2 meals a day will find a way to move those chairs and devour any resemblence of food in the can.
9. Even though dogs will eat all food products left on the counter overnight as proven over the past 5 years, some male owners of dogs seem to think two loaves of bread and two bags of buns will be safe teetering on the edge of the counter, just this once.
10. Dogs are somehow still loveable despite #1-9.
