Bonnie and Clyde!!
 

Tia has a best dog friend: Ruby, a 6 year old Bichon. Whenever I get together with my friend, these two come up with the craziest schemes, and Tia seems to be the mastermind behind all of them...

#1 I had a plate of chocolate chip oatmeal cookies (homebaked!) on the coffee table. I notice that Ruby can almost reach the plate with her nose, so I move the plate out of her reach. I go to another room with my friend and when we come back, the cookies are all gone! The only evidence is the napkin that was beteen the cookies and the plate is now on Tia's daybed. Ruby must've reached the paper, pulled them down and they went to town! They each vomited a couple of times that night, but other wise they were ok.

#2 At my friends house, there is "the forbidden room" (with the nice carpet no one is allowed to walk on). Tia LOVES to go potty there, so we keep a pretty good eye on her. One time, we were sitting at the kitchen table, Ruby jumped on a chair and then ONTO the table (something she NEVER does!) I look for Tia just in time to see the end of her tail as she rounds the corner into the "forbidden room"! I can just picture Tia instructing Ruby to cause a distraction so she can go ahead with her plan.

#3 At my place, Tia and Ruby were taking turns at the one bully stick I had, each getting frustrated when the other had it. Tia went to the patio door, made the little gurgling sound she mke ONLY when she needs to go out to potty. I ask my friend to get the door cause she was closer. Upon hearing the door open, Ruby races out for a chance to go outside and Tia bolts under the kitchen table to get the bully stick. It was a ruse and Ruby fell for it!

I swear...Tia is super smart (and manipulative!)

Anybody else have a yorkie that seems to outrun, outwit and outsmart other people and dogs? I'd love to hear your stories!

Cute stories!

that made me laugh!

too funny --

you cannot say that dogs have no brains.

They are clever as can be when they want to be.

Tia is very clever.

playing with toys
 

My Bichons do things like that to each other. If Lacy has a toy that Cosmo wants, he will try to get it and then go get another toy and play with it like crazy. Lacy sees him, of course, and pretty soon decides she wants to play, too, and goes after the toy he has. Then Cosmo lets her have that toy and goes and grabs the one she had, the one he wanted all along. They are very smart!

What a smarty.

That made me giggle.:)hehe

My little yorkie, Diesel will bark at the doggy door when he wants something one of the other dogs has. Of course, they all run out the door to see what he was barking at and he runs over and steals the left behind toy or chewie. The part that baffles me is that the other 3 fall for it every time. LOL
