Gracie was quite a thief as a puppy. I had to puppy proof the place and keep checking everything to make sure she could not get into things. Closet doors had to be kept shut, trash baskets that she could knock over had to be picked up, had to make sure things were kept off of end tables. She still loves to have a game of chase now and then. She only uses her toys now though. She will come up to someone with a toy in her mouth and bark as though to try and dare them to take it from her. It's a great sport for her. She is fast and it is quite a mission to take anything away from her.
