I had a beautiful glazed ham on the counter ready to go in the oven and I had the baby in the walker in the kitchen with me and I had to run to the bathroom. I came back and all was quiet in the house except for DS playing. I was only gone one minute.
About 15 mins later, I go to put the ham in the oven and it's gone from the counter. I look in the oven..no ham. I ask DH what he did with the ham. He says he didn't touch it. I look down and there's a trail of brown sugar glaze leading over to the dog's bed and there's The Dog. Feasting on my ham! Half gone!!!
I managed to wrestle the remaining ham from the dog and DH says to rinse it off and it will be fine. I told DH if he does that then he can sit outside with The Dog (who will continue to remain nameless until I get over being mad) and eat the slobber ham.
DH went to the store for a new ham.
Happy Easter. From my family to yours.

That is hilarious. I don't blame you for getting a new ham for today. But I'm disgusting like your husband, I would probably give the doggy ham a good washing and then cut it up for soup. After it boiled a couple of hours, I'd figure all the doggy germs had been neutralized.

We had a dog growing up that did this...on Easter! We were really poor and my mother totally had a million plans for that ham. The dog was a mix of beagle and dachshund (we think, he was marked like a beagle with the very short legs of a dachshund-a pound puppy.) How he got up to the counter to get the ham we never could figure out. What I remember most vividly is my mother, who is one of the most laid back, soft spoken people you will ever meet chasing that dog in circles around the big oak tree in our back yard screaming at that dog in her Easter dress. His jaws were open so wide that he couldn't put the ham down if he tried. He ran, she ran, she screamed, he thought it was a game. It is part of the family lore now.

Oh my goodness. Doggy slobber ham is not appealing at all.

That is terrible. I don't think I would have served it as your husband suggested.
But, once when I was pulling a london broil out of the oven to flip it over and cook the other side, it fell off the pan and onto the floor. I did rinse off that side pat it dry and seasoned it before putting back in the oven. I had just swept and mopped the floor before starting dinner. To this day my then husband has no idea what I did.

Something similar happened with our little dog (poodle/Bichon mix, so not tall at all) several years ago. After dinner, I sliced up the rest of the ham and put it in ziploc bags on the counter to cool. While we were outside, the dog jumped up and grabbed a couple of the bags, dragged them to the floor, chewed through the plastic, and ate a bunch of the slices. Of course he was really thirsty afterwards and drank a bunch of water. Then he was so full of ham and water, he couldn't lie down comfortably, so he fell asleep sitting up. Then he had to keep going outside to go do his business. We tried to make him stay outside, but he wanted to be inside with us, so we were up and down all evening. While we were watching a movie, he wanted to go outside AGAIN, but apparently we didn't put him outside quickly enough b/c he ended up peeing on the carpet right in front of us.

A few weeks ago I was making sandwiches, I'd buttered some bread rolls and left them on the work top to answer the phone. When I came back in to the kitchen I found the cat licking all the butter off, I was putting the rolls in the bin when my brother walked in and asked what I was doing. I told him they had cat dribble on and he said 'they'd have been fine with some ham and stuff in'

I was preparing to start dinner once when one of the kids started crying so I ran outside to see what was happening leaving a roast sitting unwrapped on the counter. I was gone about one minute and in that time the neighbors dog ran in and stole our roast. All I caught sight of was his backside hightailing it back across the street with our roast in this mouth. Went out to eat!

So, if your DH wants doggy ham, does that mean that we should send him the next batch of sidewalk cupcakes?
Great story, and it makes me glad that we never had a dog who could jump to or reach the counter.

My sister works in the office of a start up company. The "office" is in the owners home. From time to time the wife makes treats for the workers. One day there were cupcakes on the kitchen table. My sister noticed that some had frosting and some did not. She selected the "without" cupcake to eat. Later, she saw the dog near the table and realized that the dog was licking the frosting off the cupcakes.

Oh my! It was Sidewalk (Dog Slobber) Ham! I hate when that happens! We had a black lab that stole a big steak off the kitchen counter once and we didn't realize it until the whole thing was gone. That same dog also ate an entire cake, half of a cantaloupe, a half pound bag of black licorice allsorts and countless other things over the years! Our current yellow lab ate a three layer pink lemonade cake that the babysitter brought over. She put it on the counter and I thought, "That's really not the best place for that..." as I was heading down to my studio to work. I thought she would move it after she hung up her coat, etc. The next thing I knew, there was all kinds of yelling and commotion upstairs. Yep, the dog pulled it down and ate the whole thing! ETA: One more. Our current black lab licked all the frosting off of one corner of my birthday cake last year. DH and DD were sitting at the kitchen table with the cake waiting for me to fit a piping tip on a bag of frosting so she could write "Mama" on the cake. In the minute I had my back turned, the dog snuck up next to her, licked the frosting and she started screaming. Since it was just us, we cut a generous part off of the cake on that corner that was licked and we actually did eat the rest! (And no, we didn't give the cut off part to the dogs either!)

Well the other ham is baked and served and DH is having a wonderful time telling everyone The Dog ate the ham and we rinsed off what was left and we hope they enjoy it. Several spit out their ham before he fessed up. The Dog is avoiding me. He knows.

I had a dog that licked all the pumpkin filling out of a pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving. Left the crust perfectly intact. Since I wasn't going to eat it anyway, I seriously considered just making more pie filling, but thought of my poor grandma rolling over in her grave and made a new pie.

LOL! Well, we had a mishap with a side dish this year.
DS #2 is 16 and I've not been very good about teaching him to cook, so I've been working on it lately.
His responsibility was to make loaded mashed potatoes for Easter dinner. It was all good until he went to get them out of the electric roaster. (The ham had been cooked in the oven so we were heating the potatoes in the roaster.) He did great in putting them together and got them in the roaster. When he pulled them out he lifted the casserole dish out using the rack that comes in the roaster.
The casserole dish slipped off of the rack for the roasting pan and landed upside down on the patio and broke!
Since we were getting the food on the table we just continued with dinner and didn't have potatoes with our meal.
Because I know The Rules of 2 Peas, here's the recipe for
Loaded Mashed Potatoes:
Bake: 30 min.
MAKES: 14 servings
Ingredients
5 pounds potatoes
¾ cup sour cream
½ cup milk
3 T butter
salt and pepper to taste
3 cups/12 ounces shredded cheddar cheese blend, divided
½ pound sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled
Directions
Wash potatoes and cut into large chunks. Place potatoes in a Dutch oven and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until tender.
Drain and place in a large bowl. Add the sour cream, milk, butter, salt and pepper. Beat with mixer on medium-low speed until light and fluffy. Stir in 2 cups cheese and bacon.
Transfer to a greased 3-qt. baking dish. Top with remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. Yield: 14 servings.

He couldn't lay on his stomach or and his side, since his tummy was so full. He was just sitting there, drifting off to sleep, eyelids getting heavy, head bobbing. Of course it wasn't so funny when he peed on our new Berber carpet in the family room, but that was our fault, not his!

My story does not include baby Jesus, Christmas, or Easter.
I have two uncles who are crop farmers. One summer, they had a field of peas across our driveway. I went out there and picked a huge Tupperware bowl full of fresh peas. (Yum...raw peas fresh from the field. There is nothing better.)
I am a total Turkey freak, so I had prepared a full out turkey dinner in July. We had all the food on the table. The bird was at least half sliced up on a platter and we had dished up our plates. The telephone rang, and it was xh's uncle wanting some peas. Instead of sitting down to dinner, we decided to take my fresh picked bowl of peas over to the uncle's right then and there. After all, I could just pick another bowl the next day.
About an hour later, we get home. When we go into the dining room, something seemed off. It took a few moments to figure out what it was. Our Samoyed had gotten in the house while we were gone and eaten all of the sliced turkey on our plates and the platter. Every single bit. Nothing else on the table had been touched. Everything else was exactly how we left it. We were just sans turkey!
To add insult to injury. the pea viners came that night and harvested the peas, so we did not get any peas, either!

When BF's dog was new to the household, he took 3 racks of pork ribs from the electric smoker on the back patio. Never found a trace of the remains, either.
