Before half term the 5 year old was poorly and stayed at home with the husband. She had a temperature, sore throat and wasn’t eating … which is just unheard of. With a good dose of Ibuprofen she must have had a moment where she wasn’t flopping on the sofa and decided to take some photos with my camera.
When I looked back last night they were all fairly typical of her, random things around the house;
…… and then I happened upon this little beauty.
Never actually witnessed before, Peanut the dog jumping up to get something off the work surface in the kitchen.
That bloody fecking dog.

What a Super photographer at age 5! Last week I was taking pics on my camera and when I went to view them I saw a pic of my 6 year old’s son face that he took close up of him winking at me!
Funny that the dog got caught red pawed!
Snort, am laughing at Erica’s bum sniffing comment. And 5 year old takes fab pics hon.
We had a Cavalier King Charles spaniel, who was a walking bin. She knew she’d gone too far when we came home and found her in the middle of the kitchen table having emptied a cold cup of chocolate. She hadn’t thought about how to get down and was rolling her eyes very sheepishly!
I have seen the puppy do this already which should give you some indication to the blimmin’ size he’s going to be (I’m suspecting lab crossed with husky or GSD). Tonight (as I’m really sick) we were having a sofa supper when he suddenly leapt on top of Man of the House and tried to take food from his plate. (He’s not hungry, honest!)
We once had a dog (Springer Spaniel, mad) who nicked a freshly baked Ciabatta from a worktop during a dinner party. Everyone blamed one of the guests who was known for loving his food. We still laugh about it.
When I was growing up we had a mad golden retriever who nicked everything in sight including a whole Christmas cake. His finest hour was when we were staying with friends in Scotland in their huge house. My mums friend said to my mum “we’ve got the so and sos and their friends coming over for tea. It’s a lovely day so I thought we’d have a picnic on the lawn” “marvellous” my mother replied. “Yes” her friend said, “I thought I’d get organised so I’ve laid it out already”. “Laid it out, on the lawn?” said my mother, “Oh my god, where’s the bloody dog…”. Happened 30 yrs ago, we still talk about it.
How can any girlie be far too busy for shopping. Silly Lola, tis not often I say thay of Charlie and Lola
I have that issue with our dog, Sunny. Everything has to to pushed right to back the back of the work surfaces or it’s gone. We found him sucking Sam’s dummy once.
Our dog Nellie who died last year used to eat everything in sight, including out of date eggs, empty tin cans and 6 months worth of my contraceptive pill.
Currently house a mutt made up of French labrador in part who is partial to opening the washdisher to enjoy the rotten remains of previous meals.
The Grandpees breed choc labs – best ever steal must have been an entire pheasant casserole demolished in minutes while leaving the ceramic dish unbroken (last Easter). Neither of the 2 labs involved could move for about 3 days!
Labs are like this tho – having taken the Ds to stay with friends for halfterm where I left about 20 sausages (just cooked and boiling hot) on the worktop while I turned to ask assembled childer how many they wanted – when I turned back the Silent Assassins of Doom had eaten the bluddy lot!!!
Have just discovered your blog. Looks like fun! I plan to read more.
Our main issue with our dog is that he steals the 2yr old’s toys. He has a thing for a Meerkat we bought our son last year. And he’s also managed to disfigure a whole army of small bears that our 5yr old likes to collect. Some have missing eyes, some have a missing nose, some miss both. Damn the dog. Sneaky buggers they all are!
Thanks for dropping by. We’re lucky in the respect that the dog has never bothered with the kdis toys … and I doubt she would unless they were covered in Marmite or peanut butter.
Another urban myth busted!
The 5yo should go into detective work.
As she gets older I dread to think what I’ll find on that camera
I’m behind the pony smelling the pig’s bum, nice.
Ah yes – didn’t even notice that, too busy fuming over dog. Lots of hidden Mickeys.
Doesn’t that drive you mad! I hate food obsessed dogs. The only good thing about winter is that the picnic season is over so we don’t need to do any more apologising for the fecking dog eating the birthday cake…. (ah hem, if that was you I’m ever so sorry, really I am).
It drives us bonkers. She’s always on the lookout for something else. We’ve heard her scrabbling to get up before but never witnessed.
Haha gotcha! Ah yes, Bert’s so tall he doesn’t really even need to do more than give a little hop. He once ate an entire bag of satsumas, then honked them up all over the landing. Lovely, our animals, aren’t they.
We’ve had our fair share of honking incidences
I’ve never actually seen our dog jump up either but heard him retreating on many occasion, the greedy sod. What is it with labradors and stealing food?!
Wherever we go she is always on the hunt for food. My sister has a dog who has a bowl of food down all day which she nibbles at. Our dog visits and swallows it whole. So greedy.
