Do dogs suffer from high cholesterol? Murphy's likely to.

So I brought groceries in last night and I thought that I'd put up everything that was perishable or desirable to a certain dog that we all know, but apparently I'd overlooked one item way down in a bag of canned goods that I'd just set back in the pantry instead of shelving them like I should have. I found the remains of that item, an empty cardboard box that once held two sticks of butter, next to Murphy's dog bed when I got home from work. Somehow he'd found the box of butter in that bag (bought to replace the last four sticks of butter that he'd eaten a couple of weeks back) and he ate both of these sticks, too. What is it with this dog and butter?

All I know is that he cholesterol level is going to be off the charts!

  3. Did you ever try the cayenne pepper trick? It sounds like that might be the only way to end his counter surfing habits. Of course, then we wouldn't have as many fun posts to read, but Murphy's cholesterol won't be in danger :)

  7. Umm. What about the after action report when he goes out to do his business? Somehow I don't see him having any problems after eating all of that butter...

  8. Six sticks of butter total, sounds like he's trying to get himself labeled as "unhealthy" by Michell so that he's safe from BO.

  10. Judging by that last comment, we may need another post to let us know how that worked out!
