Rusty, the Houdini of the dog world
My last Lab, Alex, was famous for several eating feats. On one occasion, left alone in the car for the length of time it took me to run into a doughnut shop and purchase a cup of coffee, he wolfed down 13 1/2 of the 15 doughnuts I had just purchased.
On another occasion, in about the same amount of time, he opened a sealed pound of cheese and wolfed down the entire thing. Again, he was alone in the car.
Today Rusty, my new Lab, broke Alex's gluttony record.
To set the scene:
* He was leashed in the back seat of my pickup at a length that would not allow him to climb into the front seat of the car.
* I went into a store for 5 minutes to get the final ingredient in a home-cooked dog food recipe.
* The other ingredients, including a one pound chuck roast, were positioned strategically on the passenger side floor.
When I returned with the final ingredient, Rusty was in the front seat, leash stretched tight and wrapped around an armrest -- standing on the empty white styrofoam that the meat had been wrapped in.
He had wolfed down an entire one-pound slab of beef in 5 minutes.
As I was howling in anger, somewhere over the rainbow bridge I could hear Alex howling in respect.
An amazing feat.

 |  Way to go Rusty. That is what you do when left alone with a chuck roast! Once he ate an entire 3 pound box of chocolates. (I was hoping it would kill him but he didn't even get diareha (sp?) ) I wanted to strangle him with my bare hands! ps Rusty likes this homemade dog food thing! |

| |  Raw diet?Yeah, he decided he wanted to go raw. Unfortunately, it didn't agree with his system! I'll have to switch him back to the chocolate diet. |
| |
| | Well, he only likes the good stuff: It was See's chocolate. (Are you going to make him eat store brand dog food now until he pays off the roast?) |
