When we first got Sunny I had read all about greyhounds being real food thiefs and was feeling very smug that after 3 weeks Sunny had still not stole anything......well that was until my friend came round to celebrate her birthday. I'd gone all out and made a big tea with a massive Chocolate bithday cake which we were all looking forward to. After we had eaten my twins wanted to show my friend their new computer, so we decided to go and see the computer and all have the cake after. The cake was in the middle of the diner table and Sunny was fast asleep on the couch really snoring. We only went next door for a few seconds and when we returned went to sit on the couches, Sunny was still snoring on the couch. My friend then looked around puzzled and said "have you moved the cake?" I said "no its on the table". It wasn't we looked in the kitchen and all thought each other had hid it as a joke. I suddenly had a thought and said " ehh Sunny wouldn't have eaten it would she?" We all turned and looked at Sunny spread out on the couch and snoring, she was in the exact same position that we left her. We all shook our heads and said " no she hasn't moved, she didn't have enought time.". I then looked closer and there on the bottom of Sunnys white chin was a small blob of chocolate.....CAUGHT.


We couldn't believe it. You'd think lesson learnt, No she had Steves chocolate birthday cake a few months later. So now any chocolate cakes around and Sunny is banished to the bedroom with a chew bone......just to be safe


Landess and the chocoholic

Right, will stop giggling and start typing now...

Today, Piper took a bite out of a buddleia flower.

By the way, greyhounds and lurchers do not have a monopoly on theft, in spite of their reputation. My brother's Irish Setter, Becky, steals as part of her welcome ritual - openly and guilt-free. As soon as you arrive, she will take something off you - shoes, if you remove them; or keys, purse, gloves, anything - and run away. You then have to chase her, even though you have no chance of getting the stolen item back unless you bribe her with a pig's ear.

One day, my brother came home from the office, placed his open briefcase on the floor - Becky immediately stuck her head inside, rummaged around and came up with a mouth full of documents!

Vegas was sleeping in his bed when I decided to eat dinner watching telly in the lounge. I put my dinner down on the coffee table and left a glass of milk on the floor when I went back to the kitchen to fetch sauce. In that few seconds half the glass of milk was gone! Vegas was still in bed and looking at the wall - pure innocence you'd think! But on looking closer I spotted his milky moustache! Pretty evident who the guilty party was, I think!

Well Weeweelamb, I'm afriad you're not the only one with a non stealing lurcher. My Rosie touches nothing! No bins, nothing laying around. Not even the big bags of food that I've stashed behind the conservatory sofa. To top that....I've an irish ex grey, Lenny, who has never stole in his puff either. He can reach work tops but won't take a thing from them! 


Am I just lucky? My previous grey, Vinny, who died 8 years ago didn't steal either. He didn't even chase bunnies out a walk either though. Perfect gentleman he was.

Well, Piper has just taken a chunk of apple straight from Kyra's (16 year old daughter) lips. As usual, completely unashamed. She lives on the maxim 'What's mine is mine, and what's yours is also mine.'

I not had my grey Angus for very long and was not aware of his theiving capabilities.
I had bought two lovely snowballs from Greggs the baker and had put them on a plate to serve with a magic cup of tea. I put them on the coffee table and went through to get said tea. When I went back into the living room there was only one snowball left and one greyhound standing with little flakes of coconut scattered around his feet. I immediately went into tirade mode, the usual shouting about not for you, don't take unless given blah blah blah..... His response??????? it was to pick up the other bloody snowball and eat it in a oner. I bet he was thinking -as well to be hung for a sheep as a lamb!!


Another time was at my friends new year party.
The main event being over and done with and the buffet down to minimum, we decided to retire to the lounge area with left overs from buffet on side tables to be nibbled at at our convenience.
The bold boy Angus was lying peacfully under the christmas tree on his new christmas bed.
After a short time he decides to get up and do a bit of socialising, swaning past people getting absently minded patted as he passed by. This round of people hopping was done a few times , nochalantly wandering past and luring us into a false scense of security ....... this was the fatal mistake. On doing his final round and nobody paying him any mind, he opened his mouth as wide as it would go and swallowed a whole tray of mini sausage rolls.
We have never been invited back.
