"Feed your rabbit Candy!"... REALLY?!?!?

I believe a few of us are admitting to have some secretly spoiled bunnies. Who would have suspected Grumpy, of all people? :lol:

I know! He's seriously in danger of losing his grumpy reputation! :lol:

I'll PM Maggie and let her know we need to change his username to "softie". :twisted:

Cereal, popsicles, PB&J... LOL... some animals will do just about anything for a treat. My boxer became obsessed with pizza crust. We had to call the pizza place, and not say "pizza"... then over a 2 year period, we also had to start to avoid saying "large" or "pepperoni" or "delivery" or anything about "placing an order".

That's too funny... sounds like a smart doggie!

"Mystic Pizza..."
"Hi, this is Ms X on First. What's your special I saw an ad for?"
"The large with one topping, and the pepperoni and sausage, ma'am"
"Oh, right. I'd like the second one. How soon could you bring that?"
"For delivery?"
"Yes, that would be great!"
"That'll be about 40 minutes, Ma'am. Your total will be $16."
"Ok, thank you."

Yep, ordering in code unless we wanted the dog going berzerk for 20 minutes and trying to charge the door when it showed up. We started sending someone out the side door and have them walk around to the street and meet the pizza guy. I don't think Cesar Milan himself could have stopped his little episodes. It is pretty hysterical to see an excited boxer butt though.... they wag their entire rear end to make up for the nubby tail. lol

I lived through the exact same thing with my previous potbelly pig, Pork Chop. You would not believe the expressions on the delivery guys' faces when they realized it was not a dog. Well...most of them realized it, some had to be told.

*doorbell rings*
"Pork Chop, it's the pizza man."
*pig runs for front door*
"Sit, Porky. Let me open the door."
*pig sits, snout quivering*
"Here you go, ma'am. That's $15.00 for...what kind of a dog is THAT?"
*pig starts grunting and squealing at the delay in pizza reaching his mouth*

That is hilarious. Boxers really can be quite the piggies about food, toys--anything they fancy. Years ago right after my husband and I got our first boxer, we'd ordered a "buy 1 get 1 free" special of two medium pizzas. We ate about half of one, then I left the room, leaving my husband and the boxer. After a few minutes I could hear an odd noise outside the door. Opened it up, and found two neatly stacked pizza boxes sitting on the carpet. I called to my husband, "why'd you put the pizza boxes on the floor?" (we were still newlyweds; that's definitely not what I'd say now, nor in a gentle, inquisitive tone either.) I then saw our gal boxer sitting a few feet away, dinging her tail when I looked at her. She had a speck of sauce on her chin and looked as round as a barrel. Sure enough, my husband absent-mindedly left immediately after I did, and she took the opportunity to open both boxes, eat a pizza and a half, close the cartons then carry them to me. Oh, and stacked them. :shock: We knew we were in for it at that point. Loved that dog!

Sounds like she was better trained than your husband :lol:

:lol: That's a boxer for ya. They look like big dumb jocks so I was a little shocked when I realized the dog was far smarter than most people.

Pork Chop sounds awesome! I can imagine the look on some pizza delivery guys face.

The husky quite literally does eat everything. I wonder what the recycling sorters think when we send in a container of half moon shaped paper plates :? Our dogs get just about everything we eat and the guinea pigs get nearly everything that is not meat or dairy but the rabbits are stuck with slightly more normal treats. Usually the only thing we feed that is processed aside from pellets are horse treats.
