[Quiet Man Cometh]

My dogs have only stolen food. Monty was particularly fond of muffins. They all knew they weren't supposed to but you could often see them either trying to fight the urges or, with Mont, calculating in his little head if stealing the food would be worth it, given how good the food was and how likely it was he would get caught. ;).

He was the kind of dog that would pay lip service to the house rules, and forget about them when you were not around. Completely guiltless too. He was a very well behaved dog though, when people are in the room. He wasn't a dog you trained as much as made deals with. No Monty, you may not have any of my dinner but I'll share my ice cream when I'm done with it. This meant he wouldn't bother begging for dinner, but he was right there when the ice cream came out.

One of my sister's mastiffs' favourite toy in the whole world was a box of kleenex. He liked to pull them out and chew on the paper. Vet bills for a clogged stomache put a stop to that rather fast.
