    I have a pit mix who is a mess.

    If I'm on the computer and he wants to go play/for a walk, he walks behind the chair and pushes the plug out of the socket. Then he waits for my computer to die, which usually takes about an hour (I need a new battery :/)

    If I am laying on the couch watching TV and he wants a spot on the couch, he goes to the window, starts barking and freaking out. While I am looking for whatever he's barking at, he sneaks away and sprawls out on the couch, leaving me no room at all...

    Anyone else have sneaky furbabies?

    Mine steals food - from the trash, from the counter, from my purse (I carry emergency snacks...) - and hides it to save for later.  I've found granola bars behind couch cushions, under the bed, in the closet.  No lie - we were moving and found a Twinkie (and a whole bunch of crumbs from who knows what else!) in the mismatched sock bin in the back of the closet. Luckily he's so stinkin' excited about treat that he gives himself away by staring at the couch cushion he's hidden something behind until you get up and catch him.  Smart cookie that pup :)  That computer trick is really sneaky!!

    @CoffeeBeans: I found a stale piece of bread in my couch cushion the other day when I pulled my slip cover off... Also a shredded bag of dog treats...

    Haha. The computer thing is still my favorite.

    I had to dry my hair in the living room this morning because my FH hogged the bathroom... and the dog tried to unplug that... He couldn't get that though...

    My almost 6 year old peke-a-poo has become a trash shredder... just in the past month?  I have no idea why.

    This past weekend, he shredded a trashcan of tampons (we can't flush them here, damn old plumbing!).  The house looked like a crime scene and there were many threats of sending him "to the farm."  Argh.

    Blue isn't all that sly when he is trying to be sneaky.  He's deaf so I can't say "no" I have to sign it to him, so his favorite thing to do is to eat the cat food in the other room, except then he will peek around the corner to see if I sign "no" to him... If I don't he'll go back and eat a little more, if I say no he looks pitiful and comes and sits by my feet... It happens every time.  He also does this when he barks or growls out the back door (we don't like him barking in the house), he'll look at me to see if he gets in trouble...  silly dog.

    @OP: that is too funny about the power cord thing.

    Haha wow. The socket thing is too funny! Mine work together. One will start freaking out while the other goes for what they want (food, bone, etc) and then they'll share it. While I enjoy that they don't hate eachother, it's so annoying!

    They also like to hop up on the bed as soon as FI or I get up (for anything. the bathroom. the light. the door.) and they'll curl right up in the spot we vacated. Then, when we tell them to get off, they'll go and sit RIGHT beside the bed looking at us like we're the biggest meanies and sigh. Literally sigh.

    George learned how to open the pantry door; we keep the dog treats on the bottom shelf.  We had to put a child lock on the pantry before I was even pregnant, just to keep him out!

    Also, not necessarily sneaky, but that clever little monster learned that he could stand at the top of the staircase and throw his ball down the stairs so he can chase it.  He'll do this for hours, if we don't want to play with him.  Sigh.  At least he can keep himself entertained.

     My little dog Teddy has a thing for hiding his treats in the laundry. He LOVES to take off anytime he gets the chance in the back yard and then will come walking towards you like hes going to come back inside the house and then take off at the last second at full speed. Also, when he wants food and his bowl is empty he will push it around the house until someone notices. He so much like a naughty kid its unreal!

    My cat Ares shreads our toilet paper, its quite annoying.  I come home from work one day to find it all over the rug in our living room.  Also, he steals my hair elastics.  He loves playing with them and actually fetches with them.  So I can never find them when I need them (going to bed, the gym etc.) 

    Sometimes he tries to "hide" in random spots and jumps out at you to attack you..  He loves to attack my plants and tries to act non chalently when I try and stop him.

    The sneakiest thing he has probably done is finding a way into the ceiling in between the basement and upstairs of our house.  We were painting the ceiling and took down the lights so we could paint around them.  Somehow he managed to climb up into the hole in the ceiling and started walking all around up there.  He was quite content with himself and would poke his head out through the hole and start purring.  Eventually he came down but it was funny to hear kitty footsteps up there. 

    Also, he found a way up there that lead outside so he snuck outside and played in the neighbours yard (and he is an indoor cat).  If we aren't careful with the front door he will try and dart out when we open it to escape.

    When they were puppies, we (innocently) left them alone for an hour. We came back and EVERY BIT OF PAPER IN THE ROOM was torn to shreds. I remember taking a picture of it, just to make sure I wasn't seeing things. I mean newspaper, mail that we didn't know they could reach, the puppy pad we had left, toilet paper. (They were in the bathroom.) I cried. Lol.

    LUCKILY they have grown out of that and now barely sniff at paper.

    We're constantly missing socks. It's to the point where its rare when either of us have a matching pair. A few months ago I was cleaning under the bed and found a HEAPING pile of socks that our cat had been hoarding. With the socks was also a few of his favorite toys and 6-$1 bills. We're convinced he's planning his escape.

    my dog and cat work together with the toilet paper. the cat will knock thr roll or package on the floor and they and the dog will shred it. i came home from christmas with my parents to find my bathroom and bedroom covered. they had destroyed an entire 24 pack of toilet paper. 

    my cat is horrible about getting in cabinets. i woke up one morning and all my cabinets and drawers were open. this happened conveniently after watching paranormal activity 2. yeah. it freaked me out a bit. until miss.kitty comes walking nonchalantly out of  one of the cabinets...

    My dog is so jealous! When I'm on the computer he tries to jump in my lap and get in the way. He does this ESPECIALLY if I'm on Skype with my fiance. He loves my fiance but he gets jealous because "mommy's attention on him is gone!"

    Hm, he also steals my seat whenever I get up to go to the bathroom or whatever. He thinks it's "his" spot. I swear, I get up for one second and turn back.. there he is in my seat, even though he was sleeping earlier! What a turd!

    Our dog will eat the collar off the other one if we leave them in their crate for too long. He will actually eat all the nylon/cloth parts and just chew on the plastic parts til we get home. FI is convinced that he doesn't like the other dog and wants him to run away....

    He also knows how to turn off the xbox if he wants attention and FI isn't giving it to him.

    Our cats like sleeping on the bed and making it impossible for us to sleep on the bed.  And they like to go inside the sofa and pull out the stuffing.  We lifted it up one day, and there was an entire sofa's worth underneath.

    My cat likes to steal Q-tips out of the garbage can and carry them around in his mouth like a dog with a bone. It's gross, I know. He also takes naps in the cupboard underneath the kitchen sink and randomly pops out during dinner.

    Oh yes. Our pup for some reason thinks all her medications are treats. She thinks heartworm medicine is a treat. She had to take pills for a long time for her demodex mange, thought that was a treat. Benadryl. Treat.

    The only pill she consistently hates taking is antibiotics. Not only does she do the *gulp* to make you think she swallowed when she hasn't. We have many times over thought she swallowed it, checked her mouth, don't see it. Only to find out hours later that she has hidden it! Her food and water bowls are in a pet holder thingie up against a wall next to the washer and dryer which are also against a wall. Once I found it behind her food bowl, don't know how she got it there because there's no room! Once I found ti in between the wall and dryer! Once I found it hidden behind the speakers next to the entertainment center!

    She's a resourceful one!

    I have 2 yorkies, Miles and Otto.  Otto isn't too bright and he's not really sneaky, but he used to love sitting in their water bowl and splash around trying to "swim".  Luckily we have tile floors so it was easy to clean up.  Miles is a bit smarter and a bit sneakier.  We have sliding glass doors to our backyard and Miles will come and sit in front of the door like he wants to come back in and cry like he wants to come in, then when I open the door he runs back a little bit so I'll come outside to play with him.

    My cat will do anything to get his way. If he wants to go outside and we don't want him to he'll scratch the couch until he finally gets put outside. If he wants me to do something and I'm not paying attention he'll nip at me. He can be laying somewhere for hours but as soon as I get up from the computer chair, leave the room for a few seconds; he's already on it sleeping.

    I love the power cord! When i'm on line Wicklow comes over and nuzzles her nose under the plug to the laptop and pulls back so the cord comes right out from the computer.  She also just lays her head on my hands so i can't type until I pet her. 

    She also loves shredding brand new toilet paper rolls all over the living room.  My SO fed her people food for the first time EVER a few months ago, now she actually shoves her self into my fridge whenever I open the door.  She's also holding out for human food, she dives her nose headfirst into the food bowl, so it goes all over the room, and then she comes to watch me eat.  When i left this morning the food is still on the floor.  I may have to kill SO.

    @SouthernGirl: That reminded me of the other night when I was at my friends house (she has 3 cats) and we were watching Paranormal Activity 2 and it was getting really intense and one of her black cats came walking out around the corner into the living room and I totally screamed at the top of my lungs. Haha. 

    The funny part is that we were joking about how that might happen before the movie even started!!

    haha, my pup likes to steal important papers and bring them to you as a present, with ears back, tail wagging.  So every receipt my Dad tries to hand to clients has a Huge bite mark out of it! lol

    My dog also likes to steal my socks and hide them through the house.  And when he wants to play with you, he'll get his toy, walk behind you when you are talking to someone, and shove the toy into your butt.  He also will bite your butt if he thinks he's not getting enough attention.  He likes to bite my bf if my bf picks me up, or he'll bite me if I kiss my bf.  Mind you these are 'nibbles' he doesn't actually bite.

    My favorite thing he does is the stealing of important items and parading through the house as it is his 'kill' and then he presents it to you as a gift.

    Edit: It's not really sneaky, but it's so damn funny that I had to share.

    I gave our dog a bath for the first time since we've had her to discover that she LOVES baths! She was SO excited when I turned the water on and she jumped in the tub all on her own! Even more funny is that after the bath was over and I dried her off, she started running all over the house and she kept going BACK to the tub and jumping in! I actually took a video of it, haha.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYYB1lGbeQA

    Ok.. so I have 2 videos... Lol!

    I have a picky eater (husky) and I have to feed her in her crate because my other husky will eat her food.

    We have gotten it to where we have trained her NOT to eat it, but she will stalk it and guard it. She will curl up next to it but won't eat it. LOL. When there is nobody looking or if we forgot that the crate door is open, just in case the other husky wanted to go in and eat it. She will start eating it slowly and sneakily (quietly).

    She is such a sneaky little devil! haha
