Mint Anyone?

Went out for the evening last night, and left Walter in his/my room and the hallway, where he has "lived" since i got him. Nothing new to him. He occasionally gets into an errant shoe I've left out or something, but has been consistently reliable about not getting into too much mischief.

So, at first glance, everything appears untouched. Shoes are where I left them, carpet's whole...the bed's a bit mussed, but he's allowed to sleep there. When I was straightening out the nest to get into bed, I found the evidence...AN ENTIRE BOX OF ALTOIDS!! GONE!!

I suffer through one of those suckers, let alone eating an entire box!! When he shoved his snout in my face this morning to wake me up, he had minty fresh breath, which is always nice, haha!

To be honest, I didn't even remember I had them - they had to have been burried somewhere because I hadn't even seen them in weeks. Oh, and add a magic marker to the mix...

how do they find this stuff?!? I thought i had been pretty careful about doggie proofing, but man!! :?

LOL well at least he had minty fresh breath :lol:
Those things are disgusting LOL
Did he have a mottled black tongue like a chow?
:lol: Oh can I sympathize with you! :lol:

I was thinking the same thing :lol:
hmmm, how many Altoids does it take to last the whole night? I'd appreciate a better smelling dog pack waking me up in the a.m.

Like Ron, still worried about the Magic Marker. Any new black shoes?
haha - he definitely had fresh breath the next morning...i was amazed. i'm convinced the boy must have an iron-clad intestinal system!

i think he only got the tip of the marker and left most of the ink inside...plus it was one of those washable non-toxic ones, WHEW! thank god it wasn't a sharpie!
Reminds me of Bingley's breath: every time we come in the door he takes a snip at the mint we have growing . . . :wink:
Hi,

What a handsome boy Walter is and I've been meaning to tell you how much I've enjoyed the photos you've added so far. Doesn't suprise me he ate some mints...must be in anticipation for all those sheepie girls that are probably looking for him. He just wanted to be prepared with nice minty breath!

Marianne and the boys
Aw, thanks Marianne... (blush)
LOL/ I'd love for Bunkie to have Mintyu freash breath.
Casey once ate 18 paxks of Juicy Fruit, wrapers and all!!!
Let's go ahead and tack another marker and two cassette tapes to the list. I swear, you all must think i'm a bad owner, but this stuff was hidden, up high, behind heavy things!! and it's not like my copy of the preservation hall jazz band smells like liver or anything!!

I'm still waiting for the sweet irony of Walter chewing up my copy of "Marley and Me."

sigh...life goes on, i guess.
Hmm, Preservation Hall Jazz... Probably spicy!

Whenever we left the house, or first guy would instantly run to the kitchen and countersurf.

Our current guy runs to the laundry room looking for a sock snack, then begines a room by room search for stuff to play with. However he never countersurfs -- that we know of.

It sure is easy to close the door to the laundry room and the other rooms of the house; the kitchen is open. Before we leave the house must be dogproofed; doors closed, andything small put away, etc., etc. I'm sure you understand doing THAT!

Altoids, huh? We recently bought doggie breath mints in the hope that it would help with Belle's occasional halitosis. They're made with chlorophyll. I think they would work better if she actually chewed them, but they certainly are minty. I do think they help somewhat, though, but it's more of a neutralizing action. They don't get minty breath. Maybe I should try Altoids... LOL
I bought those mints too! Panda just spits them out. She doesn't like them at all.....would an Altoid be okay on occassion? Sometimes she has the worst fishy breath...and she doesnt eat fish 8O
i suppose it probably couldn't hurt...though walt's vet did caution against human toothpaste because of the burning in the throat that the minty flavor would cause. i suppose one wouldn't be bad...if it was only one ;)
