MYA–You did WHAT?
I didn’t MEAN to, really, I didn’t!
Maybe I should have said, a pooch who mooches, haha.
Poor little Mya in a required muzzle for a boat ride.
But Mya’s mama and papa and Mya were traveling in Italy when this event occurred and when mama told me, I asked if I could put the funny tale in my blog so here it is as told by Mya’s mama:
Well, you can certainly recant Mya’s naughty misadventure in Sanremo! We were sitting on a bench in the entry of the big covered market and a little girl (about 4 years old) was sitting next to her grandma and grandma handed her a cookie. Mya, sho was at about the same level (when standing on hind legs) as the sitting little girl – snatched the cookie out of her hands before any of us knew what was happening!! I was totally horrified!!! THEN the little girl started crying and I was asking grandma in my extremely primitive Italian where the cookie came from and she pointed to a stand just a few yards away so I bought a half dozen and brought them back immediately. Grandma looked at Mya AND me as if we were inculte villains and then JL came back – and the little old lady (heheh – maybe my age but seemed much older) broke of half a cookie and gave it to Mya. We all laughed. So after that, it has been the joke – if Mya has to wear a muzzle it’s to keep her from stealing food, not to keep her from attacking anyone.
I love that story, because of all the doggies we know, so far anyway, Mya is about the sweetest, most loving doggy in the world (even if I do not do her justice by following HER around an sniffing…er…you know where), so we were all surprised that she is a born cookie thief.
Hey, WHO ISN’T?
Hope you got a laugh. Mya is accepting cookies by email, virtual or otherwise. Hey, Mya, there are a lot of cookies on the internet, haha.

NOW-Mama says to put in this link but dear readers, you are not going to BELIEVE this! Would love comments on THIS one.

Tee hee hee. Mya saw an opportunity. Nopawdy can fault her for that. Bessie the Basset in my household would’ve done the same thing and she likes children, too. Did that lil’ girl give Mya a pat on the head after she realized that she is a nice doggie? Tummy tickles.
Mya was very polite and asked her mama to get more cookies. Not sure they were for the little darling though…
Ever-gracious, Lou Lou frowned as Mya (AKA, the Biscuit Bandit) corrected the cookie caper tale her mama had gotten all wrong…after a hearty morning of cocktails. “You see, mama and papa knew it was snack time. So how could I be blamed for rushing to take the cookie my new little friend offered? How delighted she was when I gobbled her gift, laughing ’til she cried! Then mama dashed off to politely pinch more cookies. I grabbed one…maybe two? Mya looked away ruefully, while Lou Lou harrumphed… following with an eye roll.
“Never mind, Lou, we have more to worry about,” warned Mya. “Mama told me virtual cookies aren’t delish like the others and don’t come tumbling out those techy whatchamacallits they’re always talking to, watching or petting. How can we get the cookies out? We would make everyone mad if we smash or shake the little thingies too hard, right?”
“Fancy that?” Lou Lou reflected. “No, let’s just break the thingies open and make off with all the cookies we can carry!”
“Precisely,” Mya agreed. “But don’t dare tell Auntie Suz about our stash, understand?!”
Wow, what a response. Who are you Ettie B? Do you have a blog. Well, you should have one.
Oh Mya! You got lucky this time!
Hey, I am always lucky around cookies!
Once, on the market, my darling doggie, Joy, ate the casse-croûte of the vendor. Most embarrassing for me but the young man laughed and adamantly refused to be “indemnified”.
Concerning the linked article, I feel sorry for the poor unfortunate animals who find themselves in the hands of those crazy people.
Right on, Ralphe! Amazing, isn’t it, how the animal world’s protectors have gone bonkers?
OH – and on that link – do you think maybe they could add a category for professional food tasters in gourmet restaurants? We could really help them out! AND, I’m all for aromatherapy! Wonder what aromas those might be for doggies and kitties!!??
Well, Sizzling Steak Scents? Subtle Salmon Sniffs? Ossobuco Odors?
Well, Loulou, some things are just too tempting. Especially cookies. I may not do that again since the little girl was CRYING! But hey, I got an extra half a cookie…..and I made everybody laugh in the end. And it was sorta fun that I, Mya, was such a terror!! But I was forgiven and that’s what it’s all about anyway – food, snuggles and giggles. Right, Loulou?!
Mya, I cannot imagine you even THINKING about nipping an anthro, except those who give you bad vibes. You are VERY perceptive.
If you snooze you lose! Have to eat those cookies fast 🙂
Hey, a great motto! Thank you.
So this is what Jan didn’t want us to read? Well, we read it and now we know how underappreciated we are. Where are our luxuries and – Wait, do we really want a spa day or a personal shrink? Forget it, we’re happy with Miss Tightwad.
So your friend Mya is a cookie thief? That we might be happy to try. We’ll just have to find Jan’s stash of cookies.
Oh, you Funnies, I’m sure she keeps them under her pillow. When she’s not looking…go for it.
Well, Mya, all’s well that ends well – the little girl didn’t get hurt and they all forgave you AND you got 1 and one-half cookies !
It was all planned, Mya, right? You are one wiley doggy.
