HoundHeavenAZ Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 LOL, Izzy tried to grab the GIANT area rug I have under the coffee table and drag it to her bed, until she realized it wasn't going anywhere because the coffee table was on it! Okay --- that's just ADORABLE! Quote Jody, Leah & JimmieYou left us much, much too soon Lima & Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest memadeit Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 My female will take who evers stuff of the person she isn't happy with. (And yes she does do it). Then she will ignore you afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galgrey Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 My first greyhound, Frostman, would collect my clothes and shoes and lay on them on his bed when I first adopted him. It seems like he stopped doing it after 6 or 7 months. He never chewed on anything, just took it to his bed and slept with it.

Guest FreeholdHound Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Harry collected odd random small things & shirts when we 1st got him a year ago & hid it all under his bed. He stopped a while ago but just grabbed my moms knitting yarn the other night for some reason. The only thing he ever destroyed was my daughters hearing aid (that was a $2000 hard lesson learned).

Guest Scouts_mom Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I've always wondered if this stealing is because at the track/farms the dogs don't have anything of their own. Then they get into a home and realize that they can claim things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schultzlc Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Luna used to be a collector when she first came home. I would find all kinds of strange things stashed under her pillow or in her crate. She also used to like to scatter my coasters all around the house, so when I needed one, it felt like an Easter egg hunt. I find the hoarding pretty adorable as well. Have fun with your Izzy, she sounds like a trip! Quote Laura, mom to Luna (Boc's Duchess) and Nova (Atascocita Venus).Forever in my heart, Phantom (Tequila Nights) and Zippy (Iruska Monte).

Fruitycake Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Allie, our keeshond, has something for my husband's athletic shoes. She never chews on them, she just carries them around and deposits them elsewhere. Now that it's winter and they get left in the kitchen when we go to bed she'll be in her dog bed in the bedroom, whine a bit, get up and go get a drink, and come back in and drop his shoe with a loud THUNK before lying on her bed for the night. She has also been known to do the opposite: take a shoe or two out of the bedroom and leave them in the living room or kitchen (as a tripping hazard). We have a tile that was designed with her in mind. It says: "I have information pertaining to the whereabouts of your shoe" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianamac Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Truman is a cleptomaniac. He steals anything and everything, then takes it out the dog door. An incomplete list includes: shoes, undergarments, electronics, bed pillows, tupperware, utensils, oven mits, remote controls, magazines, the mail, bags of flour, toilet paper, cardboard boxes, DBF's retainer, K-Cups, banana peels, toothpaste, cat toys... the list goes on and on. We have a clepto too! Sometimes he piles the items up in his crate neatly. But yes--books, coffee mugs, remote controls, empty gum packs, toilet paper, bras, and tampons have all been found... The only ones he likes to chew are books.... except the one rogue wine glass he chewed, which ended in a panic. Now we are okay with him stealing things occasionally, but keep the potentially dangerous goods closely guarded. I think its kind of a cute habit...
