Is my Dog Greedy, Stupid, or Both?

My youngest enjoys playing with pots and pans, pretending to cook. Our dogs enjoy him doing this, as occassionally he'll grab a pan that's not been washed up yet and they can sneak a quick lick of something tasty. Anyway, today little one was playing on the floor with a collection of pans and some wine corks, pouring the corks from one pan to another. In comes dog, back from her walk. Snap! There goes a cork out of the nearest pan, straight down the dog's throat. Stupid beast obviously thought it was some sort of tidbit left in the pan, but she scoffed it so quick that noone had a chance to grab her. I don't think it even touched the sides, just straight on down. Well she seems OK with it so far, but I guess at some point it's going to have to come out the other end. I'll be glad I'm not in her position when it does! Perhaps it will teach her not to be so greedy / stupid. DO you think so? I don't!!

The roomie's dog is like that too. She was grabbing tidbits out of the air and the roomie dropped a pickle. Well, that got in her mouth and it came out again like - ewww, that's not food.

I reckon I could get my dogs to eat anything at all if I tossed it in the air & told them it was a chicken. Mutts!

The roomie's former roomie had a very stupid peke. the roomie had dropped jelly beans on the floor and the dog was going around eatting them. then she got the black one, licorice. She kept picking it up and spitting it out until she finally ate it.

Believe me, having a toddler around the place means I'm well aware of the make up of poo. Sorry, you mean pooh with an H? I'll get my coat ....

I would not want to be the dog either, but I can see it happening.I do not think the dog will learn a lesson, though.

I think you're right, stomach before brain every time in her case!
