Sunny, With a Chance...: That Darn Dog!!
Posted by Jen E at 8:55 AM
Reminds me of our next door neighbors when I was growing up. I lived outside the city limits and we were a one-road subdivision with large 3-4+ acre lots. It felt 'country'. The people across the street from us had two trash digging dogs. Our dog never had an interest in trash but the neighbor dogs did. They were the very bane of my mothers existence. Each morning after trash pickup, there would be a huge trail of trash all over our front yard. After a couple years of this, my mother had enough. One night our cat got into the burger my mom had brought home and so she took an entire can of black pepper and filled that burger with it. She set it out by the trash bags and went to bed, gleefully happy that the trash dogs would leave our trash along forever more. In the wee hours of morning, the dogs came around...sniffed...and gulped. One gulp down the hatch. No chewing. No tasting. Gone. They were back the next day.
In hind sight, I suppose red pepper flakes or jalepeno or poblano peppers would have been better.
