My dog is a kleptomaniac.

Don’t tell me how to post- I can 100% disagree with a person letting their Yorkie have a sip of coffee.. I would hate for a newbie to come on and see some people do this and think it is ok, not know Caffeine is very toxic to dogs and then reading people giving their Yorkie coffee can be very misleading. That is my fear, that is why I spoke up. Sometimes if it’s not something you are involved in, not to say anything and just report what you feel is the best way to handle a situation like that. You also may not know, but adding those little icons are taken in a bad way.

I guess I don't see how putting a toxin in milk makes it ok to give to a dog.

As a puppy, he chewed through my apple iphone headphones, but that was a one time deal.

He does, however, take bottle caps off plastic bottles and hide them. I give him larger ones occasionally, but only under my supervision and for a short time. You can't put any bottles on the floor or lower tables in my apartment or else they will be uncapped!

He also steals from my work!! I work as a nanny and he is allowed to come to work every so often and play in their fenced yard when the weather is nice. He loves it, 4 crazy kids, ages 2.5, 4, 9 and 11 to play with and no leash!! But I always find a little toy or knick knack in his bag when I get home with little doggie bite marks on it. I have started checking his bag before I leave with him so I can return the items before they get to my apartment. My boss thinks it is hilarious, but that may be because he has never taken something important to her or the kids. His favorite is wooden blocks. I have to be super careful!

Now that is funny. What a smart pup to have figured out to hide a toy in his bag.

It's not ok.. Why would anyone want to give their dog something that is toxic?

Apparently you missed the part where I said I was going to give them a bowl of milk with coffee in it every day, three times a day....?
Oh, I know why- it's because I didn't say it.

And a few laps of coffee on OCCASION will not contain enough caffeine to cause poisoning in most pets. I've never given them coffee because I don't drink it, perhaps you really did miss that part of my post.

[Rhetts_mama]

Again, I don't see why anyone would advocate ever giving even small amounts of something toxic to a dog, even if doing it in a flippant manner.

*Shrug*

“ A few laps” of anything toxic would be too much in my book.

We have a lot of very clever little thieves on here.

I just want to make it clear that I don't give Lola my coffee, but I think it's funny when it's not happening. It's annoying when she gets it because I have to remake it.

Can we please stop the coffee debate or close the thread?

I responded that way because I don't feel the need to argue with you. Its Childish. I may have quoted you but I was talking to everyone that was arguing. Its not worth carrying on like you are. You stated your opinions. I stated mine. Its better to disagree and leave it at that. I come to this site for advice, not to be belittled or bashed. Im not the type to argue or throw petty insult or talk to people like a child. Good day.
