I have a confession: Milk Bones

Now, I have a confession about an obsession.

I, Corbin Monkey W, am obsessed with Milk Bones.
Don't judge me. 

I go CRAZY for them.  Now, normally I don't get them because the momma is all "oh, Corbin, here are some treats that are better for you and healthier!"  Yea yea yea, those treats are okay and all, but come on, mom... MILK BONES!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMD!
Milk bones, please.

My Bethany and Avery are lucky and they have milk bones in the house... so everytime I'm over at their house, I find the cabinet that holds the milk bones and I shove my head in that box and gobble down before anyone can get to me!  Somtimes I get my head stuck, sometimes my slobber covers the box, sometimes the box ends up the shape of my head because I have a rather large noggin and it leave imprints.  So, it's often hard to pretend that I wasn't gobbling up the deliciousness.
Even my icey creams have milk bones.

Now, sometimes the momma gets super frustrated because I like to stand in my yard and pretend that she's not yelling my name to come inside.  Truthfully, I hear her, but honestly... why would I come when no milk bones are offered?  I don't want the other tasty treats... I want milk bones.  So, the momma caved and decided to bring me home some milk bones so I'd come in the house and not make her late for work.  Well, her and dad tried to hid my milk bones on me... and, ya want to know what happened?  Well, I emailed my dad this morning to explain to him the situation.... so I will leave you with my letter to dad.

Hi Dad,

So, I know you thought real long and hard about a hinding spot for my milk bones, and I know you tell me all the time that I "sure ain't no hound dog," so I'm sure you thought I would never find them.  Well, my dear dad.... you have underestimated the nose of the Corbin.  While the momma was in the shower this morning, I figured out how to get the cabinet door open under the sink... and by the time the momma could get out of the shower and get to me, I was completely under the sink (in the cabinet) with my head in the box munching away on my heavenly desserts.

So, I just wanted to let you know.  I outsmarted you and the momma.  Try finding a new hiding spot and I will again show you the power of my milkbone trained Corbin nose.

Love,
-Corbin

  3. I think the milk bones will have to be transferred to an air tight container and placed higher than you can jump to be safe.

  4. That's soooo funny! Really? Under the sink? I think your humans may have secretly wanted you to find them. I agree - up high is probably a better choice.

    Corbin, my friend, you have a Milk Bone addiction - but who can blame you?

  5. Way to go! Now, once you have feasted on your milk bones maybe you can pop over and help me find where my peeps have hidden the cheeseburgers.

    Your pal, Pip

  6. Mom stopped buying us Milk-Bone 'cause Annie itchies when she gets them. She makes our treats with looots of peanut butter. But she keeps them in a cookie jar on the counter pushed all the way to the back so Annie and I can't get them. Sometimes Dad eats them.

  7. Teehee! Mom gave up hiding things because we ALWAYS find them, and we ain't no hound dogs, either! *grin* Actually, now Mom just hides things from the mice... Personally, I don't see having a Milk Bone addiction as a problem. Or a bully stick addiction. Or a marrow bone addiction. ;-)

  10. Way to go, Corbin. We all love milkbones too. We only get them at bedtime. And sadly our treats are all kept in the really tall cabinet where none of us can get at them:(

  26. Ummm, I has nefur had a Milkbone. Seriously. Do they taste like chicken jerky?

  27. I love that you outsmarted your pawrents about the Milkbone hiding place!

    I used to have a cat that LOVED his treats. I hid them in a cupboard up high enough that I thought he couldn't get them. One day, I was sitting in the living room watching tv, he came in with the treat container. He tried and was successful at getting it open. Sneaky kitteh!

  30. I luvs milkbones too! I know they aren't that great for you but i refuse to eat any other dry treat. Seriously. I is a picky eater and Momma spends oodles on healthy kibble but I gets spoiled cause i likes cheese, milkbones, soft treats from Zukes and Blue Buffalo, Stella and Chewies, duck strips, and dentasticks. That is all i will eats for treats!

  31. PEE S - Remember our winnings from VEGAS? a whole truck of MILKBONES!

  32. OMG, this is soooooooooooooo Desmond. If we ever let him get at the box of milkbones, he'd eat the whole thing in about ten seconds. We each give him one every morning when we leave for work--and we think it contributed to him getting over his separation anxiety, although we'll never know--and he gets so excited as soon as my husband goes into the box. We leave about a half hour apart from one another, so for the entire time Desmond is waiting for me to leave and give him his milkbone, he just stares at me and drools all over the place.
