Will: Hey buddy, whatcha got there?
Jack: (tail-wagging silence)
Will: JACK, that's not cool, buddy.
Jack: (more tail-wagging silence)
Will: Uh, mom...can you come see this...
I got up (I may or may not have huffed a little) and Will met me in my room holding about 1/4 a loaf of zucchini bread. Evidently, one of the kids left the pantry door open, and Jack-the-beagle helped himself to a sweet little afternoon snack, plastic wrap and all.
Arghhhh....
I worried about him for about 5 seconds before I realized that the dog has an iron stomach. Jack eats grass, Barbie feet, flies, and all manner of things, so I wasn't too worried about him eating the zucchini bread.
I wasn't surprised to find him like this later. This would be Jack in a SUGAR COMA....
He didn't even move when I tried to take his picture, or after the flash went off.
Stinker.
If you're worried about him, he's fine. Still waggin' that tail and lickin' our faces, and lovin' all over us every minute of the day. And despite yesterday's incident, I still love him too, though it would have been nice to have had another slice of zucchini bread for breakfast. *sigh*

Silly dog! He knew good zucchini bread when he sniffed it!!!
That is precious!
Dogs tend to do the craziest, sweetest things ;)!
I can eat that much bread too.
Aw. That makes my heart hurt. (and my tummy a little). Give him an extra hug from me.
too funny!! My favorite part is when you said he eats all manner of things including Barbie feet...I busted out loud!! He really looks like a great addition to your family!!
poor beagles! food is their kryptonite. our poor beagle can't resist either.
i love the "not cool buddy"
hahahahaha
Oh, that picture cracked me up!!! Our dog had an iron stomach. She managed to polish off a pound of chocolate covered toffee with out one gastrointestinal disturbence.
Ha! I feel your pain with wanting just another slice though...that bread looked GOOD.
Sorry to hear about your zucchini bread. I left our dogs in today while I ran a couple of errands because it's so hot. Our pantry raider ate a bag of croutons and chased it with a juice box. yummy.
You're replacing zucchini bread; I'm replacing underwear.
Annie is a horrible thief. I hope she never gets together with Jack. We'd all starve and be missing our undergarments. ;)
I'm glad he's not worse for the wear.
Awww. This post just made my heart glad. I am sorry you didn't get that last bite of bread though! And, Barbie feet? Wow, he DOES have an iron stomach! :)
And that zucchini bread looked so good, too! I could eat my weight in pumpkin bread, myself. Love that stuff.
My mom and dad had a beagle the first couple years that they were married. My dad tells a story about how he and my mom went grocery shopping and came home to put the groceries away....
They woke up the next morning to make some toast but couldn't find the loaf of Wonder bread they thought they had bought.
Later that week my dad went in the back yard to "pick up after the dog" and solved the mystery. The dog had eaten that loaf of bread, Wonder packaging and all.
My dad said that if they didn't have things picked up and put away, that dog would eat just about anything! Must be a beagle thing!
Hey, he sounds like my kids :)
Hey Meredith-
I found your blog through reading Stacey Johnson's-I'm so excited to see and read about your beautiful children...and life.
I don't even remember when I lost touch with you-maybe after Margaret left(or graduated)? from OBU.
I have lived in Harrisburg the last 12 years and we are now in the process of building in Jonesboro. I need neighbors and long for a paved road!HA
Molly is 8 and Fowler is 5-maybe one day I will figure out how to send pics-I'm so behind the times.
Great to see you-you haven't changed a bit.
Your friend,
April Shields Maddox
I hope to hear from you-my address is madd@pcsii.com.
I can't believe he stole your bread.
Actually I can. Our yellow lab steals stuff out of the van whenever she can. SHe plays keep away with it. Highly 'not cool buddy!'
Your dog is so adorable!
What a great picture of your dog. We have a black lab, who also has a belly of steel. He has eaten some of the strangest things -- including a sock. I can only shake my head and ask "why?"
Well you know I can relate! The worst was when our dog jumped up on the counter and ate an entire apple pie at Thanksgiving. It had been covered in Press and Seal, so my husband stayed up much of the night checking to see if Reg was OK. We never saw any evidence, ahem.
Gotta love pets! :) Friday I came home to find a plastic baggie that I KNOW had been on the kitchen counter smack dab in the middle of the living room floor. Seeing as our kitty was the only one home, I'm sure she was up on the kitchen counter - a lovely thought. Of course her sweet face tried to tell me she was innocent...
Mmmm... zucchini bread!
But wouldn't you have felt worse had he found it, sniffed it, and walked away in disgust? He LOVED it! :)
Food keeps disappearing in my house, too. But it's not a dog that's taking it, it's my sneaky kids. They are always hungry, and I mean always. So when the kitchen's closed, they sneak in and steal stuff. It's driving me crazy some days.
BTW, of course you can add me to your blogroll. I would be honored.
Hey, I'm with Jack! I love zucchini bread, too! I have a cat who has stolen banana bread before like that. Aren't animals funny? I couldn't live without all of mine! They keep life interesting after the kids are grown and out on their own.
(((((( HUGS ))))))
