This was Zoe looking at a piece of Chateaubriand:

She’s a sweet pup, but she is definitely food oriented. Kaitlin’s comment on the Christmas post was:
Merry Christmas!! Our pups are more interested in what is on the counter. Before giving our dinner guests a tour of our construction last night, I hid all the leftover food (in the microwave, ovens, on top of the upper cabinets). The pups were passed out on the floor so Peter kept looking at me as if I were crazy. The only thing left out were the brownies for our upcoming dessert, but I built a metal barricade around them β and pushed them far back on the counter. We started the tour and the pups came with us but Peter lagged behind to see. Sure enough he said, as soon as we were out of sight Zoe whipped back and ran her nose along the entire counter to see if there was anything. He caught up to me and said βshe is so intelligent!β And explained what she did. Uh huh. As soon as HE was out of sight guess who started working on the barricade? Of course I got there before she got anything, but it cracked me up.

the graphic does look like Zoe and I laughed all the way through because I know Zoe and was sure what Peter would find when he lagged behind..
You do know Zoe!

Zoe is quite a character. I bet she was disappointed that she wasn’t able to get at any of the food.
She made up for it the day after by getting my green beans!
π
…food is the way to many of our hearts.

Sweet pup

Zoe needs her own sitcom!

Oh my gosh, the look on her face! And that is one determined dog! Kind of like me when I’m looking for ice-cream in the freezer.

Thank goodness the pups didn’t get the chocolate brownies – chocolate is poison to dogs.
Yes, Torben and Kaitlin have to be very careful. π
OMG, that is really something. Smart dog for sure!
π
Sweet pups deserve those nice bites!
π As long as it isn’t chocolate, poisonous to pups.
Cats are equally evil and more agile. One could have probably leaped up onto that counter.
π
Sweet and smart dogs.
π
Determination!
