One of our little dogs named "Spazz" is a Min-Pin who eats anything and everything. No matter how hard we try to keep her on diet dog food, she has a knack for finding groceries (even consuming bugs out in the yard). She's the bully of the pack, often knocking the others off their food bowls unless we are there to intervene. By Ozzy's reckoning, this has gone on long enough.
I can't tell you how many times we have come home to find the food pantry broken into and items snatched off of shelves we thought a small dog couldn't reach. What's even more difficult to believe is Spazz's ability to open jars. On this particular day we arrived home to find a doggie medicine bottle opened and it's contents ravaged. How this happened is quite humorous.
Ozzy has put up with Spazz's aggressive food fetish for too long. After we left for church this morning the dogs began their usual promiscuous behaviour. Spazz hit the food pantry, unsuccesfully this time. Meanwhile Ozzy jumped from the back of my recliner onto the kitchen counter where he found a bottle full of doggie antibiotics. After reading the contents he studied the side effects. One in particular grabbed his attention, and sensing a chance for some revenge he tossed the bottle to Spazz. She didn't even bother to read the label, she just cracked open the bottle and dug in.
When we arrived home and made our discovery, a quick investigation revealed what had occured. Curious, I asked Ozzy what prompted him to do such a thing. He told me it was payback for being bullied at the feed tray. When I picked up the empty bottle and read the label, one side effect caught my attention... "Product may cause explosive diarrhea"!
As I write this Ozzy is watching Spazz and grinning from ear to ear... still waiting!
