Oh, I've got one of those

Last week I took the blanket out of Button's bed to wash it.

He'd stashed underneath....2 odd socks, one teaspoon, half a Bonio, one computer memory stick that husband's been searching for all week ( now embellished with teeth marks), pair of knickers, two chewed strands of clematis out of the garden, Ellie's pink squeaky fluffy duck, small plastic plant pot that DID have seeds in it & several half chewed tissues.

The week before it was my husband's new mobile phone that he'd pinched.

Whenever we can't find stuff, keys, wallet, important letters, especially anything shiny, it's the first place we look. Or behind the cushions on the sofa, which is his other favourite hidey-hole.

I keep checking his pedigree form but I think the breeder must have forgotten to write in the line that had "Magpie" or "Womble" in it

Tucker is a clepto as well. He absolutley LOVES socks. I can't do the laundry without him sneaking socks out of the piles. Then when I try to match them, I have to go search for the ones he's taken. I still have a stack of socks with no match because I can't find his hiding place! He's also a big fan of wash cloths, dish towels, and undies! It's too cute not to laugh when I catch him!
