Old Habits Die Hard

“I’m juuuusssst lookin’.”

For the record (and this is for The Herd and a certain someone at The Herd Annex), Juno only counter-surfed once early on in living with us. It took one big “No!” to never have her attempt it again. Well, at least when I’m in the house.

  1. Ruby – and Natasha – says we have heard that big no. Lots and lots and lots. There is hearing and then there is hearing.

  2. A good look never hurt anything!

  3. Counter Shopping. It’s sometimes COUNTER productive.

  4. Wooos! Counter surfing, table surfing I am an expert at all… I have snagged everything from the table decor to a whole pizza!

  5. I am also amazed that Jack has never tried jumping on the counter, cause he’s tried everything else! 🙂

  6. then you are a better dog than us, because it is a daily thing with us bad disobedient wolfies

  7. We’ve never had a counter-surfing dog, that is, until R. There are so many statements that end with ‘except R’ about our Labs. It’s funny what a unique personality he is.

  8. I don’t know if I can believe that she’s ever bad. Just look at the innocence oozing out of that face!:)

  9. I have my mom fooled to JBJ!

    Woo go!

  10. We have a Weimaraner. They are the worst counter surfers!

  11. That answers my question. Thank you. But for real? If I was as tall as Juno is, I’d be surfing in the USA
    Twink!

  12. I never surf either. At least when Mom is watching. After I ate 8 cupcakes (cake, papers, frosting, and sprinkles), she is much better about putting food away. Oh, and that one time Kat and I licked all the frosting off the cake for her decorating class. But besides that, never.

  13. Pure longing. ?

  14. No idea where that question mark came from. 🙂

  15. Juno, you are one smart lady. Paris counter surfs right in front of mom!!

  16. Can you come over and work on Tucker next?

  17. Moo is a pro when it comes to counter surfing! She hears the big NO a lot, and immediately takes her paws down …EVERY time. Mom has super hearing, she can even tell if Miss Moo is counter surfing from the other room!
    Now, I’m a good good good good good good boy. I never counter surf. Maybe I should be more like Moo?

    a-roos to yous,
    jack a-roo

  18. Woo. I used to be a counter-surfer, too. I even helped myself to bananas off the top of the magic cold box. Hey! Mom was walking the redheads, so I just got a little snack for me and Stormy!
    Luv,
    Dave

  19. The queen of counter surfing – Dakota!!!! Now Phantom will take from the sink but not the counter. And TD – bless his heart – NEVER even jumps to take a look – OK, now I have jinxed myself:(

  20. I only counter surfed once, and it was to get a piece of my chicken jerky that was left on the counter. Never did it again! Maybe I need some lessons?
