There's no denying it, I have a naughty dog.
Over the years she has done many things to make me question why I love her so much, like jumping the fence just so she can roll around in sheep poo or the time she ate through her lead after I tied her up outside The Warehouse and came in store to find me.
She can open doors and windows, and is always eating things she shouldn't.
Many times she's been caught lurking around the cat's litter tray sporting a very guilty look and suspicious smelling breath.
We've had kids' toys chomped to bits and baking mysteriously disappear overnight. A couple of days ago I came home to find she had eaten the entire half kilo packet of bacon I had defrosting on the bench for dinner.
Silly me, I shouldn't have left the bacon on the bench to defrost but I have to wonder how on earth she reached it. The bench is quite high and the bacon was pushed back against the wall.
Turns out, animals will go to great lengths to get what they want. We had many listeners share stories with us of their own naughty animals. Isobel's cat ate through a throw cloth to get to the quiche underneath.
Amanda's cat managed to get the lid off a pot of vegetable soup that was on the stove and not only fished out the ham hock but dragged it through the whole house.
Michelle had fun cleaning up the mess after her dog ate half a pound of butter, and Jes' Lab decided to eat some rising hot cross buns; he ended up bloated and drunk! But my favourite story came from Lisa.
She had a big Rhodesian ridgeback who was known for eating pretty much anything he could. One day Lisa was defrosting a chicken in the sink and came home to find her dog devouring it. So the next time she needed to defrost a chicken she thought she'd outsmart the dog by putting it on top of the fridge.
Did that keep the chicken safe? Nope, Lisa came home to find her very large dog stuck on top of the fridge with no idea how to get down! - Sarah
