The Plot Thickens

"Um, you haven’t seen a meatloaf with hair on it, have you?  I was saving that for lunch."

And I even labeled it with my name and everything...

... you'd just think that people could keep their hands off other peoples' food.

Just look innocent and don’t say anything, Tia D.

    This calls for a passive-aggressive note on the door.

    And zomg what’s up with pup’s right eye?

  2. Ginger says:

    Hey, am I [~~~~~] to comment? That never happens!

  3. Ginger says:

    aaaaw, man. *siiiigh*

    REFRIGERATOR TOCKS ALERT. THAT IS ALL.

  5. Lils says:

    OMG!! That is SUCH a beautiful Cocker Spaniel! She/He reminds me of our dog, who also gives us this look.

    I call it the “You want to feed me” look. Fortunately I’m not often on the receiving end of that look, but my dad is and caves often. It’s a potent look.

  6. chanpon says:

    Puppy: I protest all the orange foods you have in the fridge.

  7. Camille says:

    Somebody in that house really likes orange food. It’s a very color-coordinated fridge!

  8. Theresa says:

    No beer? What is wrong with the people?

  9. jessica m. says:

    apotheosis: that pup has “cherry eye” it’s a dislocated gland inside the eye that sometimes gets inflamed and pops out. You can get surgery to correct it, but it’s not absolutely necessary. My pup has a slight cherry eye and she said she wouldn’t correct it unless he was in surgery for something else.

  10. beth says:

    There is coffee in the fridge! Does it keep longer in the fridge?
    BTW I used to have a cocker spaniel just like that. equally spoiled.

  11. kar says:

    * Obviously * not a college refrigerator given the kettle of soup.

    Although if I’d had a kitchen in college, I’d have made ‘em. I bet that bottle’s from Fré too.

  12. Hon Glad says:

    I wuz just going to take the chill off your dinner.

  13. Von Zeppelin says:

    “Would you mind heating up this pizza for me? It’s hard to turn on the oven when you’re a foot tall and have no thumbs. Thanks!”

  14. Karen says:

    I’m most impressed by how spotlessly clean the fridge is and how few things are in it.

  15. Erin says:

    Few things slay me like spaniel ‘tocks. Nubbin tail + fur pants = DED.

  16. Kari says:

    @Beth, my hubby keeps his in the freezer — it does stay fresher longer.

  17. Kari says:

    His coffee, that is. Sorry.

  18. cataddict says:

    @Kari – I’m glad you clarified…. :)

  19. Jennie Mello says:

    Coffee, and cats, keep longer in the fridge, beth.

    *slight scuffle and slamming fridge door*

    pups too.

  20. Birdcage says:

    Wonder what is in that big stainless-steel pot. Leftover chili? Mmmmm. I could use some hot food. It’s bitterly cold out there, today (up here in Canada, that is …..).

  21. Carol says:

    puppy pantaloons
    pooch-aloons
    pup-aloons

    anyway you say it – it’s a pantaloon alert!

  22. T.U.M. says:

    The dog’s name is “M?”

  23. NotAnotherMIlo says:

    carol – I like “pooch-aloons. :)

    birdcage – I’m sorry for the cold. my folks tell me many a story of winters in alberta when they were young. stay warm!

    I think this guy’s looking for the ginger cat from the previous post. “I know he was back her somewheres.”

  24. Silent Meow Not So Silent says:

    I think the puppeh wants the pizza. Please just give puppeh the pizza, and all will be good. :o )

  25. Gail (the first one) says:

    Cocker-loons!!!!!!!!

    Luckily, my doggie hasn’t really figured out there’s FOOD in the fridge, which is a good thing since I stash bones (in a plastic bag) in there till garbage day so he can’t steal them!!!

  26. Silent Meow Not So Silent says:

    That fridge looks a whole lot better than mine. LOL!

  27. scooterpants says:

    ooo. someone likes red and yellow and orange and golden-type colors. pretty fridge and lovely little baby puppeh.
    “I dint do nothing mama!”
    so cute. :)

    I love these fridge photos, they would be great for one of those ‘find the differences’ puzzle books! hey great new idea for 2009! a desk calendar and a find it book! my gosh i am brilliant! Meg, Theo, get right on that um kay?

  28. AuntieMame says:

    Poor puppeh! You’d think you wouldn’t have to tell people that if the food isn’t their, they shouldn’t eat it. But every fridge in every office I’ve ever worked in had to have a sign on it telling people to keep their mitts off other people’s food. (Who raised these people? Wolves? No, that’s an insult to wolves.)

  29. Cambridge Rat Mom says:

    “Well, you gonna just stand around and gawk or you gonna help me here?”

  30. Manda Bain says:

    Somebody drank all the beer!

  31. Annie says:

    Sigh if only my refrigerator was that clean.. Looks in own refrrigerator at bags of veggies strewn about and packages of cheese and lunch meat and husbands home made beer and absolutely no room even to fit in an adorable kitteh.
    And Please don’t we all want a puppy to keep our food in order?

  32. Paunchie says:

    Where’s all the beer dangit? Gotta drink V-8 instead?

  33. Jenn in IL says:

    That is the saddest face/hovertext ever. Poor puppeh…FIND HIS HAIR COVERED MEAT, for cripe’s sake!!

  34. Natalie says:

    I read the caption as “meatloaf with HAM on it” rather than hair. Both funny.
    Cute lil cocker. Only 1 of my 4 furkids has discovered there’s food in there, luckily!

  35. Jenn in IL says:

    **meatloaf**, not just *meat*. We have to be specific.

  36. Birdcage says:

    I spy some wine, peeps!?! Who’s with me? It’s 5 o’clock somewheres ……

  37. Kar says:

    Oh good heavens, that does look like cherry eye! Poor pup!!

  38. Trabb's Boy says:

    I SWEAR it was in here! It had big eyes and an “M” on its forehead and its tail was wrapped around the yogurt… I wasn’t dreaming! You gotta believe me…

  39. pandasocks says:

    Cambridge Rat Mom – Does your name begin with an S?

  40. Mary (the first) says:

    Oh yeah! Wine! I’m in, Birdcage. We can do a “toast” to cool cats and poaching puppehs.
    (Puppehs who poach food out of the fridge. Not putting puppehs into boiling water.)

  41. Poohbear says:

    This, on the other hand, *picking up thread from other post* is a girl fridge : yogurt, wine, V-8 Diet Splash (???), a pot of something that was actually cooked, and a small buff-colored cocker spaniel (a girl breed).

  42. Mary (the first) says:

    (The English (American) language is a riot sometimes, isn’t it?! So many double meanings or craziness if you read the words as not intended….)

  43. Mary (the first) says:

    p.s. I also vote “girl fridge” because I think that’s nail polish on the door, top shelf, that you can just barely see. But that doesn’t look like the color of any food I can think of.

  44. dg1532 says:

    My bassett-beagle mix CAN OPEN THE FRIDGE.

    We have a baby lock on it, but if we get lazy or forget to secure it, she’s right back in…

    I hate to admit it, but I find it an impressive talent.

  45. yaya says:

    Definitely carrying the color-coordination thing a little too far.

    However, I must say that getting a dog the same color as the kitchen tile is a GREAT way to disguise the dog hair on the floor!

  46. T.U.M. says:

    @dg1532 Bagles are the sweetest puppehs! Of course, they’ve also got stubborn hounding built in on both sides!

  47. scooterpants says:

    gee Mary(the first)
    I’m so glad your clarified that,
    i’m sure theres nuffers a plenty just sitting and waiting to push the ‘panic’ button. :)

  48. scooterpants says:

    she has an ouchie eye, it looks like cherry-eye.
    poor babeh.
    or is it an optical illusion?

  49. katiedid says:

    I knew it!!! That cat was up to no good… Cats are always up to no good… they have evil little minds.. like right now.. my cat is pretending to bat at the snow flakes in the window but really she is crafting an evil plan to kill me in my sleep *Shifty eye* :-*

  50. katiedid says:

    eyes* sorry :-D

  51. Von Zeppelin says:

    @Mary (the first)–You keep nail polish in the refrigerator? I didn’t know that. I am a simple man, unused to the ways of you city people.

  52. tia says:

    His eye is better now. Here’s a more recent pic – http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/7445/harness2.jpg

  53. Edward says:

    My rabbit used to do that when he was little…I’d open the fridge and he’d come barreling over. I’m surprised there wasn’t a Warner Brothers cartoon ‘zing!’ sound. If I opened the crisper, he’d dive right in to get his kale on.

    Of course, this is the same rabbit I had to rescue from the dog’s food dish he dived into and couldn’t get out of. The lure of diet dog food (which looked disturbingly like Froot Loops) was too strong. Odd, considering the dog didn’t even care for it that much. It’s a strange sensation to find yourself lecturing a rabbit. ‘No, you’re a herbivore. A herbivore.’

  54. starling says:

    That’s SO not the same fridge. Unless someone had lots of friends over, made a giant omelette and drank all the beer.

  55. Theresa says:

    Edward, it would be so nice if there were all kind of Looney Toons sound effects accompanying our lives.

  56. molls says:

    The furry meatloaf robber is probably the one who drank all the beer too.

  57. scooterpants says:

    ah tia-
    thank for sharing the pic, he looks so much better.
    is this your puppeh?

  58. scooterpants says:

    i have never put fingernail polish in the fridge.
    for what puropse? (to have cool fingernail polish? oh my gosh, bah-dump-dump, that was lame)

  59. Mary (the first) says:

    The puppeh looks so sweet in his new photo! :)

  60. Mary (the first) says:

    @von zep, yes although I do not myself wear nail polish, I have read many a handy hint on the subject that says put them in the fridge to last longer.

  61. mike d says:

    holy schnickey…if you look up “Hang Dog Expresh” in the dictionary, you’ll see the dude pictured here.

  62. Cambridge Rat Mom says:

    pandasocks, no, my name begins with a J. Do you know someone in Cambridge?

  63. KittyMarthaPoo says:

    OMG that is the cutest pup EVER. She looks so SOFT! ! I love Cocker fur. It looks so human-like! Like she’s a girl with lovely honey-colored hair :)

  64. KittyMarthaPoo says:

    tia – thanks for the update on his eye :) He is a gorgeous little boy.

    I want a Cocker now! (I have a Beagle) :)

  65. cataddict says:

    storing fingernail polish in the frig is supposed to keep it from getting all thick and clumpy.

  66. mervtheflamingo says:

    Adorable! But I MUST say that coffee does NOT keep longer in a refrigerator. Vacuum sealing is much better, otherwise the flavor of [good] coffee gets tainted with the assortment of flavors in the refrigerator.bb

  67. mervtheflamingo says:

    …Plus the coffee picks up moisture, which makes it go bad rapidly….

    *rant over*

  68. berthaservant says:

    “Well, the hairmeat didn’t just get up and walk away…!”

  69. Samantha says:

    Definitely looking for the cat!

  70. totalee puppy says:

    Theresa…I vote for Looney
    Tunes sound effects to go
    with our lives.

  71. Frankie says:

    Hows about “Furry Meatloaf”
    as a name for a band?

  72. cachorro says:

    Silent Meow Not So Silent…I think you’re right about the pizza…”just give the puppeh the pizza.” LOL

  73. hamster-on-rye says:

    Silent Meow Not So Silent–
    Good to hear from you. How are you doing? Anything you
    would like to share?

  74. Katrina says:

    Oh, did that doggie get his carrot today? Killer loves them!

  75. alexa says:

    my thoughts “wow everything is color coordinated even the dog.” :)

  76. Z Noirlette says:

    he has cherry eye!! he needs a Vet Appt to work on that poor thing

  77. Mandy says:

    That looks just like my Callie in the first picture! I thought, “Did someone send in a picture of my dog that I don’t know about?” I sent my husband the link (without telling him what it was) and he said, “Is that our dog? She has a red collar, and she does that. I mean, the door opens the wrong way, but I thought you finally got one on there.” (Meaning that I’ve submitted a few pictures, but have yet to have any posted).

  78. x says:

    ok now i am crying, that looks just like my little girl, she is at the rainbow bridge now.
