Once again, I was outwitted by the Windy City Bandit
Like most dogs, Eko loves ripping up cardboard. I almost always let him have the smaller boxes, but I usually toss out the larger ones because they make a larger mess. Of course, Eko likes the larger boxes best (more mess = more fun) so he recently devised a strategy to prevent me from throwing out those boxes.
You can’t throw away what you can’t pick up. Eko’s new strategy is to tear up the box from the inside out so that I can’t steal it from him
And of course, Eko is not above straight up deceit. If I’m gone for half the day, I will ask a friend to stop by and feed Eko. Without fail, every time I come home Eko pretends like he hasn’t been fed in weeks. He will even go as far as to paw at his dog food container and mope around his food bowl. It’s tough to deny those puppy dog eyes (even when they’re lying!) so I will admit that Eko has gotten me to feed him a second dinner on more than one occasion.
“Me? Lie? Never…”
Now, I know I’m not exactly the smartest guy, but I also know that I’m not the only one whose pet has gotten the better of them! Fess up, how has your pet tricked you? I have a feeling that you guys have some pretty great stories to share.
