My cocker, Emmitt, use to get into the refrigerator and sample
Emmitt, now 12yrs old, back in his ol' puppy days knew how to open the refrigerator. I discovered this one day after I arrived home early from work because I was having family over for lasagna. I wondered why Emmitt was not dancing all around when I got home, I just figured he was tired. Well, I found out he was hiding, and for good reason. He opened the refrigerator (I found this hard to believe, but he did!!) and ate a lot of the lasagna, some of the Italian sausages & meatballs. I could remember thinking why didn't he just eat the meatloaf why did he have to ruin my dinner instead of how did he do this? is he magical? I ended up ordering pizza for everyone. I finally caught him in the act... what he did was ... stand up on the refrigerator door, then turn his head sideways and grasped the handle in his mouth, gently lowered himself to 4 feet on the floor and then he braced his 4 legs- jerked his head which opened the refrigerator and walked backwards. I looked in through the kitchen window to catch him. Needless to say that I put a chain through the doors which eneded Emmitt's all you can eat buffett.
