I used to have a little dog, a yorkie mix, weighed all of about 3 pounds. She was not a very good jumper. She used to hide her dry dog food all over the house; she would paw at the carpet where it stopped at the wall, and put little pieces of dog food there. When her food bowl was empty, I would walk around the house and retrieve all the hidden food to fill it back up again. She was abused and starved before I got her from the pound.
One day, someone gave me a box of chocolates, and I put it on the kitchen table, then left. When I got home, the box was knocked onto the floor and all the chocolate was gone. For a moment, I was sure that she was going to die from eating her body weight in chocolate. Then I started walking around the house, retrieving the chocolate from her hiding places, and none was missing.
I couldn't figure out how she had gotten the box in the first place, because she couldn't jump on the table. A few weeks later, I didn't go to work in the morning like I usually did, and I was sitting in the living room reading a book. Apparently she didn't realize I was home. I look up to see her jump on a dining room chair, then wriggle her way up onto the table (the chair was pushed in). She proceeds to walk all over the table, sniffing around for food. I let her do that for a minute, then I sharply called her name. Busted! She jumped and then looked at me, put that sad puppy face on, that whole, "mommy, I didn't MEAN to do it" look.
