That’s how my other dachshund acts! 
My first dog "Pooh" had a sweet tooth. I gave her a paper cupcake paper so she could chew off the cake crumbs, and she swallowed it whole. It came out, later. Then a couple years later she ate a two pound bag of candy corn...I found her, like a drunk, lying next to the toilet, moaning. Vet assured me she'd be okay, and she was. A couple years later she ate through a Christmas stocking to devour a one pound chocolate kiss. And then there was the box of chocolates my dad mailed to me...she ate through the corrugated cardboard box and the candy box to reach the chocolates.
She lived to 15 1/2. We found her one afternoon on the kitchen floor, her head in a bag of potato chips. She died happy.
I loved that chow hound.

Oh wow. You guys are talking about dogs stealing food. I trust my collie Clara not to take food off the table. She easily could, but she never has. Until just now. Just before I got to the gingerbread house post.
My son left an unwrapped slice of American cheese on the edge of the counter, walked away briefly and came back to see Clara with it in her mouth! (While I was sitting right here posting on my phone and didn’t notice .
) He took it away from her.
I couldn’t believe she would do that! Then I keep reading, and you all are posting about dogs stealing food! I guess Clara wanted to be in on it too.
(To be fair to Clara, it is the same cheese I was using to wrap her pills in, so she probably thought Scott meant to give it to her.

The Houston news is giddy with excitement over the approaching snow storm, low temperatures and ice! They make it sound like we will never see sunshine again. Yup, a regular ice age!
I have cut off my water. Inconvenient but better than a busted pipe. I have water drawn up in the house and a big black livestock water tub, full and sitting where sunshine can hit it. It had ice one inch thick on it this morning. It’s cold outside, supposed to be ice and snow tonight. I’m not going anywhere!

Same here....water everywhere! All topped at dusk, hose drained & hung. Low teens 3 nights begins tonight, then 2 more might make 20. ICE 
2 heated tubs (30 gal ea) going at night. My elec bill will be unbearable but, making milk means water! I take some of the ice bricks & add to heated ones in AM. More water to drink. 
Cold but NO snow. Had mine last week.

My No-Freeze hydrants are all froze so we are filling water jugs up at the house but it works so that's all that matters.

I’ll be boiling water this morning. I carry 2 buckets half full, because I can’t carry a full bucket. But at least that way, boiling water doesn’t slosh out on me.
Houston is snowed in, still snowing. It seems to have missed me. There was a little on the porch when I let Carson out to go potty and he was right back scratching at the door! He went straight to the propane heater and laid down in front of it. AAAHHHH…….
A flashlight scan did not reveal a white wonderland. There is probably some scattered snow on the fields, but the snowstorm seems to have missed me. I’m ok with that.
Newscaster is explaining how and why overpasses freeze. People who don’t experience ice and snow in their lives have to be educated. LOL It’s like a course on ice and snow 101 How Not To Wreck Your Car And Kill Yourself.

It’s starting to get daylight. I’m sacrificing some of my “house water” to get a couple of pots boiling so I can get an early start. Then I’ll bust ice in the big black tub outside and bring it in the house to heat up.
I poked my head out the back door and there are some patches of snow. Maybe I could throw a snowball at…… nobody. Sometimes you just gotta have fun by yourself.
