My friend has just told me this little tale about her sister and brother-in-law's labrador.
Her brother-in-law took the dog for a run across a field but lost sight of the him. He then heard a lady shouting "Naughty dog, naughty dog, go away!". Fearing the worst he went in the direction of the voice over a small rise in the ground where there were some houses and the voice was coming from one of the gardens. Apparently the dog had jumped over the wall and was tucking into the lady's apple pie and custard which she had taken out into the garden to eat. When the dog was shouted he just turned around with his face covered in custard then turned back to finish off his pudding! One very embarassed owner and no doubt one lady who will be building a bigger wall quite soon to keep out marauding labradors!
Oh I can just picture the scene!!! He'll be going back for more now he knows were she lives!!!!!!! I once disowned our first lab Bess as she swiped a muffin off a stall at a charity event and when she ate a fishermans sandwich!!! She was so cheeky but we loved her and still miss her!!!
I remember some years ago when I was showing William I went to Goyt Valley Gundog show I was stood by the ring waiting for my class whenI turned round and Willaim was eating the sandwiches out of someone bag I quickly pulled him off the half eaten food when a well known exhibitor came up and went to the bag cursing that his chicken butties had gone ..... I never said a word .
Years later I confessed it was my dog who ate the lunch
paddy once snaffled the receptionists sandwiches at the vets, she had them in a bag under her desk, i didnt realise that as i was booking him in he was helping himself.
Great stories, wonder if Alfie has read this post?
Confession time for me now. We took Molly up to Lyme Park one day and she ran on ahead. We heard a commotion behind a high wall. A man was shouting ' she's pinched my pork pie' She had interrupted some people having a picnic. We nearly did a runner as they hadn't seen us at this point. We did own up and apologise, they were fine about it and said they had had labradors in the past so knew what they were like
