What's with the trash?

Andy on Behavior - Wed, July 09 2008

Why is it that humans get so mad at us for getting in the trash? I don't understand why they wouldn't want to get into the trash themselves...it's so awesome! There are some great finds in there. Lots of smells and tastes to explore.

My mom tells me that I am too old to be getting into the trash and that is something only puppies do. But aren't we all still pups at heart? I think so ;)

Mama trusts none of us around the trash...she had this wooden thing that you have to open before putting the trash in it, just so us doggies won't mess with it. Even at that....sometimes, it just smells sooooo divine!

unless my ball lands in it, neigher of the Jackies are interested in it. Probably because Mom sprayed Bitter Apple spray on it when we were pups so they've always been yucky to us.

Our humans have to step on the trash cans to open them, and we haven't figured out how to work them yet. They put all the garbage and anything that even ever smelled like food in the freezer, then put it out for the trash guys to take away every Thursday. Highly unfair if you ask me.
