I love this dog. I really do. She is so sweet and helped me through some rough times, but I am finding that she is a very expensive dog. Now, granted, she has allergies and often has to be on some pricey medications and when she was a puppy she chewed up some of our things (which puppies will do). But recently, well, we’ve found that Sadie likes money. Not coins, paper money! A month or so back I lost a $20 bill and thought I was just losing my mind because I know I left it on the end table next to my couch. It really bothered me, but I knew I wasn’t imagining it and I wasn’t losing my mind. This morning I found my purse knocked over on the floor, my wallet pulled a little ways out of my purse and the $5 in singles I had set on top to give to my daughter were gone…along with a $5 bill and another single out of the wallet itself! Now most people would think that it was just my girls “borrowing” money, but unless they are both award-winning actresses, they didn’t do it. No, it had to be that four-legged “baby” we have….
UPDATE: Say ewwww….the proof was in the poop! BLECK! (and no, I’ll not try to get the cash back!) 
Think you should look up Pavlov’s experiments. Could be good at conditioning the dog.
I just need to train myself to keep my purse off the floor! Overall, she is a really well-behaved dog. She just found a taste she liked on the money. Dogs are weird in their tastes…they seem to think cat poop or goose poop is a delicacy!
Well, I guess I won’t feel so bad that our cats steal pony tail holders, makeup brushes, anything wrapped in plastic, like kleenex packets out of purses.
Yes, those are easily replaceable things, M*A. And despite the monetary value, I don’t think I want to go digging for it later on! (Ewwww!)
She’s smelling people on the money, and a lot of other yummy things. Keep the cash out of her reach!
Puppies are family. We don’t, as good family members, weigh worth and money, we just try to keep our family healthy. Expensive? Yeah. But worth it, right?
There’s no doubt I’ve learned my lesson, benning! And yes, I wouldn’t trade this pooch for anything in the world!
UPDATE: Say ewwww….the proof was in the poop! BLECK! (and no, I’ll not try to get the cash back!)
Political donations using it?
You never know who might be lurking in our backyard hoping for political handouts, Ymarsakar!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Oh sorry. I couldn’t resist
Pretty well known. Money travels a lot so it does have interesting smells. Somebody did a study that when dogs eat money they are more intelligent than dogs that don’t. For what it’s worth (apparently about thirty bucks). For once I am not making up a fact and postulating it as truth*.
Maybe she’s a liberal dog and is trying to redistribute the wealth…, ALL OVER THE YARD!
hehehehe
Okay, I think I’m done now.
* But don’t get used to it.
Thanks for the info, Stew. She is one smart dog, though I’m sure it was the irresistible smell of the money that drove her to eat it. She’s 6 years old and this is the first non-food item she’s eaten since she was a pup!
