I mentioned in another thread that poodles were so smart, they need to have things to keep their minds occupied or they will figure out things to do all by themselves, which might not be what you want.
Casey has just proved the point. We have a small covered kitchen wastebasket that has the step-on lever to open and close.
Within the last two days, Casey has figured out how to step on the lever to get into those yummy plastic wrappers and styrofoam meat trays that held chicken from the grocery store.
First time I thought it was a fluke, when I found plastic trash all over the kitchen, obviously taken out by one of the dogs. I suspected Casey but wasn't sure. I thought maybe my husband or I had neglected to close the bin.
Today I actually SAW the little bugger go up to the waste can and deliberately put his foot on the lever to open it up.
Aaggh! I see a larger trash can in our immediate future - one taller than Casey's head so he can't try this trick again!
