Brodey the Bandit

I think our dog might have a compulsive stealing problem and I’m not sure how to fix it! Even though he wears an electric shock collar in which the perimeter is set for him not to go out of our yard (which includes him riding in the car out of the driveway, I learned this the hard way)…he still manages to sneak over to our next door neighbor’s garage to shop through their toy chest. The most expensive steal was an official NFL football we found one day, mulled in our garage. I am sure this was exciting from Brodey, since Chap and my brother love to play “Monkey in the Middle” with him using a football similar to this as bait.

Well, Friday we found a huge, bright orange Frisbee discreetly hidden (as discreetly as a huge, bright orange Frisbee can be) in our flower beds. After investigating, we found that Brodey had already enjoyed the Frisbee…a lot! Chap decided at that point, there wasn’t much harm for Brodey to finish if off and purchase another for our sweet neighbors, Claire and Caroline. I guess we are going to have to set that electric shock from medium to HIGH! Hopefully, these are the last pictures of Brodey and his bandit habits! Even though he’s a thief, he’s still pretty cute.

( I wonder if that’s how parents feel about their children that are in prison for stealing??)

Chap giving in and playing with the evidence.

Brodey loving his new steal!

Frisbee's last hoorah (you can see it falling apart).

Brodey literally gets so tired after playing, he can fall asleep standing up.
