We have been having some serious trouble with my little sister Bailie lately. It seems that she may have crossed the tracks into a life of mischief and this past weekend was no exception.
Mom is a pretty healthy eater, but on occasion, she likes to polish off a bag of chips, or a bag of candy. Lately she has been talking about a DQ Blizzard, specifically one called Smores. Bailie has been staying home with no kennel for five to six weeks now with no real problems. Saturday night Mom gave in to temptation and left home for 20 minutes to go to DQ to get this Blizzard. When she came home, the first thing she saw was this crime scene! The bananas in the kitchen had been assaulted!
Uh oh, someone knocked the bananas and the banana tree on the floor…but wait, weren’t there seven bananas when she left home just twenty minutes ago? Next stop, the living room, where the perp was found with the evidence – lots of peels and to bananas missing. The perp was highly uncooperative and claimed to have no knowledge as to how those peels got there or where the bananas were. She also stated that perhaps an ape or monkey from the Minnesota Zoo had broken loose and done this. (Said zoo is only a few miles from our home.)
As the chief of security at our house, I was called in to work the crime scene for this Banana Caper. It was apparent to me immediately with my hound nose, that Bailie was our perp! I could smell the banana on her breath from a mile away, and look how she is avoiding me!
I had no choice but to hold her for the crime and have her paw printed.
I filled out the form and got her prints. What a shame an otherwise nice pup is involved in such a caper! Lucky for her, she is still a puppy, and her records will all be expunged when she turns one on June 17th. Hopefully she can pull herself together and be a respectable dog at that point! At least she is starting to look a bit remorseful.
The entire process was so intense and took so long, I accidentally fell asleep waiting for the transport to haul Bailie’s furry behind off to jail. Mom says I have watched to much Barney Fife and need to behave like a real cop.
I guess now I will have to go and visit her in the slammer. It looks like she will be living on water and dog chow, no treats. I sure hope she gets out before her birthday! On the positive side, I now know that I will make her a banana flavored dessert of some sort for her first birthday. She obviously loves bananas! Maybe she has been reading too many of Sugar’s blog posts about bananas? That could have put her over the edge. If that is the case, she may run off and hide at a Cracker Barrel when she gets out of jail.
This is some serious mischief, so I am joining the Monday Mischief blog hop brought to you by Alfie’s Blog, Snoopy’s Dog Blog, My Brown Newfies.
I wonder how she liked the banana. My guess is not too much because they others were still intact. I doubt if she will do this again.
She loves bananas and I think she was getting full. Sadly, I think she would repeat this crime in a second if she has the chance.
we think that infamous dog burglar “Some Doggie” did it. He visits our house on occasions too – and always when Mom goes out. Some Doggie is clever like that – he waits until he can blame it on us !!!!!!!
Maybe that is what happened and they just framed Bailie?
Hi Y’all!
I can tell you aren’t happy about having to lock up your little sis. However, I have a question…my Human told me that I wouldn’t be an adult until I was 18 months…then when they figure age it’s actually 2 yrs. How come your little sis is going to get her record expunged at the age of 1? I figure she’ll just be starting her teen years then.
Y’all hurry on by…we headed your request, but you can read part of the post!
Y’all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
I don’t think us dogs are fully mature until we are 2-3 yrs old, but most consider a puppy to be under the age of 1. Hopefully this is just another one of her phases!
Oh Bailey! You crazy pup!
That was an adorable post!
ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
Thank you, if she wasn’t adorable the post would have been her packing her bags moving out 😉 There is a reason puppies are so cute!
Come on, give her a break ( out of jail). Bananas are healthy for you. At least she didn’t eat the garbage.
She loves bananas, actually we all do, and they don’t stain the carpet either. The best of a naughty dog situation.
Oh Bailie, good thing you are still a juvenile. And i hope all that banana didn’t give you a tummy ache.
We eat bananas a lot, so she was used to them. Normally Mom decides when we get them and how much. Crazy dog!
Bailie’s expression in the photo of her avoiding you, Emma, is priceless!! Good doggy detective work and procedure. Glad to see you got paw prints.
Bailie and I both have some good expressions 🙂 That little one is really bordering on becoming a problem dog!
OMD busted or what? Blame it on Someotherdoogy or the squirrels we say LOL. Have a marvellous Monday.
Best wishes Molly
Caught with the paws in the banana peels!
Maybe she was framed? Maybe someone else in the household likes bananas and blamed poor Bailie? 😉
Katie can’t jump up anymore, I don’t do that kind of thing, and the banana breath was the real giveaway!
Hypothetically, if a dog were to really like bananas, they would totally say they don’t do that kind of thing any more, and claiming banana breath would be a great way to pin the crime on someone else… Naah, I’m just messing with you, Emma. Bailie looks as guilty as can be. Good thing it was just bananas and not something chocolate. =)
Bailie was so guilty, caught with her paws in the peels, really. Katie can’t jump up, so she was ruled out and I have never done such a thing, so all signs pointed to Bailie. Naughty puppy!
OH.MY.DOG. Emma, I cannot believe that 1) your mom went to DQ for a Blizzard without my mom…BOL…and 2) that Bailey ate all those bananas. I mean, yes bananas are delicious but to eat them all smushed up on the carpet in the living room?!? Good grief and BOL. By the way, you always look so darned cute in your police uniform.
*Cairn cuddles*

Mom was the one that regretted her trip as she was greedy and ordered a large blizzard (the go big or go home thinking) which was almost too much, and then Bailie had a belly full of bananas. 20 minutes can really wreak havoc! Take your mom to DQ today, maybe you can get just a plain cone?
Bailie is so lucky, she can reach stuff on the kitchen counter! I wish the mom would leave food right at the edge of the counter so I could reach it. Since I cannot get to food I have been busy flipping rugs and tearing up the foam inside them. The mom wonders why I do this since I have toys all over the house. Gotta go get into more trouble! Loved your pictures and props. XOXO Sparkle the PBGV
She can reach stuff that is almost at the back of the counter. Last week she grabbed and opened Katie’s pill box and ate two days worth of supplements. Bailie loves to surprise Mom with what she can do…it keeps Mom on her toes for sure!
(sigh) I wish I was a Grand instead of a Petit!
Maybe work on jumping skills?
Haha! Poor Baylie! Bananas are irresistible! Leroy use to take bananas off of our counter when he was a puppy too!
You know, the two of them behind bars together would be an adorable site! Maybe bananas would help his tummy settle.
Oh Emma! That little sister is too much. Little sisters generally are too much, aren’t they? Hate to say it, but she will probably get into more mischief one day soon! (I probably would have fallen asleep too.) Have a good, orderly day, your doodle friend, Dash
Mom has left Katie and I in charge of “Bailie sitting” this morning while Mom is at the office. I am trying to get her to just sleep until Mom is back. She just loves to be in trouble.
First, your mugshot is much better&cuter than the one of that Paris-girl! How bad that the Pawlice has your paw prints now… that means you are paw-listed now. Thanks for such a funny post, even crime can be great, who’da think it? Crime doesn’t pay? Ha, as if!
Actually, Bailie feels that crime pays in bananas! Glad you enjoyed the mischief 🙂
Great detective work. It’s tought when they go bad at such a young age.
She comes from a nice family, has everything she needs and then crosses into mischief. What is a sister to do?
Oh my… the shenanigans of a puppy…
Believe me, she has pulled stuff Mom has never seen!
Emma, I know it must be hard to lock up one of your own, but a couple of days in “juvie” should teach her. When she gets older, she will learn to eat all of the evidence. I must say that she does look very remorseful. How was your mom’s S’mores blizzard? They sure look yummy on the commercials. You can never get too much of Barney Fife!! Your Basset, Bentley
Mom loved the Blizzard but got a large…something about eyes bigger than stomach…she would get one again, but lock down the house first before leaving! Hopefully Bailie will straighten out.
LOL This is great! Love the paw prints!
It may be great for you, but Mom did not find it great when she first got home. It kind of took the taste out of her Blizzard, but then she got over it 🙂 You always have to paw print a thief!
Ah, the old gray area when it seems like the crate is no longer necessary. It always gets you a couple times. Hopefully once Bailie is paroled and keeps her nose clean!
We are giving her another shot today…we will see.
Oh my goodness, I think she should A Peal!
LOL! Good one…had to read that twice to get it 😉
Note to mom: Perhaps next time eat the bananas instead of going to DQ! Emma what a great police dog you are! Poor Bailey, I agree I think its all because of Sugar! Love Dolly
She did seem to really like Sugar at BlogPaws, so that may be the connection. At least she ate something healthy, unlike my mom!
Oh Bailie I don’t blame you. How can a dog resist tasty bananas!!! I bet it was totally worth it! 🙂 Have a wonderful, dreary Monday! 🙂
She says she would do it again in a heart beat. A hardened criminal and not even 1 yet.
BOL!!! 🙂 Bailie, I can be your sidekick! 🙂
I love this story!! I told Luke about it and he is so excited! He LOVES bananas and says he would do the exact same thing….now we know we will never leave the bananas out! Maybe Bailie needs to hire Sugar as her lawyer or something? Sugar seems pretty smart and would probably understand….though I don’t think she ever gets into any mischief like that!
I’ve been craving one of those Blizzards lately too…..I think the commercials must be getting to us! 🙂
The commercials definitely worked on my mom. It took her about 2 weeks to finally cave in, though. Those puppies are sneaky. Just when the trust is really building, they do something like this!
How in the world did she get the bananas off the counter? Delilah would love to know, as Delilah LOVES bananas too!!
And yes, I have found the punctured banana on the floor a time to two myself. 🙂 Good mischief little Miss Bailie!
A punctured banana would not be so bad, but two were just gone, peels on the living room floor! GBGV’s are long and can stretch, so she knocked the banana tree off the counter and had her pick!
Haha! Oh that sister of yours must think she’s pretty hot stuff now that she’s almost 1. Look at her in those pictures, not even sorry.
I’m glad I haven’t seen any of the DQ commercials you are talking about. I don’t think there are any Dairy Queens in my area, actually! How sad!
I think DQ is a MN company originally. They really worked Mom’s head I guess! Bailie has no fear, no remorse, good thing she is cute!
What a mugshot. She look so remorseful of that shot 🙂
Poor puppy is sorry she got caught!
I think Bert was involved…take a second look at him Emma.
Those pictures of Bailie are just too much…what a guilty look.
Fruit, is one thing Bert isn’t real into, far too healthy for him. Bailie got caught with her paws in the peels on this one!
How cute! Barley loves bananas, too She can peel them perfectly! I have to store them on top of the fridge or she finds a way to get them. I just saw an ad for the smores blizzard–I am pretty sure I will have to try that, too!
Mom has moved the bananas. Bailie is smart and determined, so it is hard to beat her thinking. Make sure your bananas are safe before you head out to get that Blizzard!
Hang on Bailie, the Boys are coming to bust you out – it’s gonna take a while though – neither one of them drive….
What! Those boys need to get a license! Hopefully she will be out soon.
That is too funny! Did she like the bananas? We love bananas!!!!
That is the problem, we all love bananas, but normally Mom gives them to us. Bailie couldn’t wait I guess.
BOL! Too funny!
🙂 She is funny which makes it hard to discipline her. As long as she is not hurt or anything, no harm done.
That look of guilt! hahaha! As a puppy, my girl would bring us bananas for to peel for her.
We get banana pieces often, but none of us have ever helped ourselves until Bailie’s incident. Mom only wishes she had seen her peeling them.
Haha that is too funny! She just wanted to eat healthy as well 🙂
Mom was impressed that a puppy stole food that is actually good for her.
You crack me up Emma, nice job solving the crime!
With that banana breath, it was pretty easy to solve. Puppies think they are so clever, but I am quite wise and saw right through her plan.
oh bless her. She just wanted to make the most of using ‘puppy eyes to get out of trouble’ before she turns 1!
We are hoping she matures a week from today 😉
Oh no poor Bailee. A hungry pup needs a snack once in a while. 🙂
I don’t think her belly will ever be full. She eats and eats and is so skinny!
LOL! The look on her face says it all. Toby would have loved to join her….he is a banana fiend and has stolen some himself… In fact, he says to tell Bailee that if you eat the peel too, sometimes the peoples don’t even know the bananas are missing.
Hope your Mom enjoyed her Blizzard. It’s great to eat healthy, but we all have to have a treat now and again too. 🙂
If she wouldn’t have knocked them on the floor AND eaten the peels it would have remained a mystery! Mom wants to see how she peels a banana 🙂
Bailie has gone over to the Dark Side! Loved the story…:)
She has, and I am trying to get her back!
Holy CAT!! A ‘Nanner Nabber! It’s the Slammer for SURE for that infraction (*chuckle*)
It wouldn’t be a surprise if my cat bro Bert was an accomplice in the crime! He is always in trouble or stealing food.
Is there a twelve step program for bananas? I sure hope Bailey gets some help before she turns one and becomes an adult. They will not be so easy on her next time so she has to turn away from this life of banana mischief.
Loved the story … too funny 🙂
Thank you. We are looking for a food addiction treatment program as she steals all food she can get her paws on, but the bananas are the worst crime yet.
Shiner has stolen the babies bananas before. Bailie you do look just a tad guilty. Not sure the whole monkey story will hold up in court! 😉
If we had a baby around it would starve. Between cat bro Bert and Bailie they would steal everything from the helpless mini human.
I can’t believe that you fell asleep on the job, Emma! Maybe your tummy was full of bananas?
Do you have Katie’s permission to call yourself Head of Security?
Katie turned the duties over to me a while ago. She retired and works as back up.
Hey Bailie,
Great opportune mischief buddy, BUT you really need to do some work on your innocent look, you looked guilty as heck in those pics, I think Emma can give you some tips, no-one would have suspected her!
I hope you’re having a fun day,
Your pal Snoopy 🙂
She is still young and wasn’t around for my counter surfing sessions last year, so she needs to work on her technique.
Wow! some serious mischief indeed! You should be proud of her counter surfing skills Emma!! You just need to teach her not to leave any evidence!!
She is amazing since her legs are longer. Mom wasn’t as impressed.
