Sweet little Tank. Haha

Tank, where do I start. He is big and obnoxious!! My parents have been visiting for a while and I don't think my Mother likes him at ALL!! My Daddy has admitted to liking him he just says he is a BIG dummy. Which is exactly what we call him "hey Dummy" "sit dummy" stop it Dummy" you get the idea. Anyway the other night my dad was sitting in the living room and no matter where he went Tank followed. He was DETERMINED to get some lovin' he kept pawing at my Dad so finally my dad just sorta started petting his paws and he was in Heaven (tank, not my Dad). I was cracking up at how he was sitting like a king getting the royal treatment. I think my Mom might have even said "well when he does that he seems kind of sweet". Lol. Honestly Tank can be a very sweet dog and most of the time he is, he just has a problem with eating food that doesn't belong to him. It is out of control. If you leave ANYTHING on the counter her will eat it. He has devoured plates of food before in a matter of seconds. I once made a batch of cookies and put them on a cooling rack and went to the bathroom by the time I got back he had eaten at least a dozen. I was so ticked I wanted to reach into his stomach and pull them out. I was traumatized that my beautiful heavenly double chocolate chip cookies were sitting in his stupid belly. There have been weeks where e has eaten as many as 5 sticks of butter...in 1week!! You would think he would be sick but no he an iron stomach. Once when my sister n law was dog sitting he ate a plate of freshly grilled hotdogs and hamburgers. Like 5 of each. They were all gone in like 5 seconds. She turned her back and he inhaled them. I thought she was going to kill him. We are pretty good about not leaving stuff out, but with Tank where there's a will there's a way. One of his other favorite treats is soggy wet pull-ups...yum!!! I mean how gross and nasty can a creature be, every-time I find one I just think to myself "why do we have this dog". Then I remember this son of mine named Coleman. He loves this nasty food snatching dummy of a dog. He loves him so much that I could NEVER get rid of him. NEVER!!!! So here I am stuck with Tank the big Dummy for the next 10-15 YEARS. SIGH!!! The irony of the whole thing is we spent like a trillion dollars to have this dog trained for 6 weeks at a training center. He did learn a little bit, but Dumb runs deep!!! This is my life, jealous much???

I know the DUMB dog just wants LOVE and FOOD (any kind of food or product)- maybe I should try to deal with him better - just for Coleman!
