    Here's an item to add to your list: Popcorn! Not microwave popcorn, but just plain kernels. You can get a gigantic bag for like $20 at sams or costco and as long as it is stored properly (airtight container of some sort), it will last forever. My grandfather prepper'd himself for Y2K and we only just finished the popcorn a few years ago. It was FINE after 22+ years, and I'm sure it would have lasted another 10-20. Easy to make in the microwave, stove, or over the fire. And it's delicious naked if you're in a true emergency situation.

    I knick named my cat butter belly because if I set out butter for baking, she’d grab the stick off the counter and run under the bed with it. She would eat through the wrapper about a quarter of the stick. After about three times, I hid it in an upper cabinet. Guess what? She opened the cabinet and got it! I kid you not….and I don’t allow her on the counters. She’s a bad seed and rotten, but I love her😂

    2 days later, he goes to grandma's house and eats an entire 13x9 pan of magic cookie bars, more butter, sugar, and chocolate chips.

    We were a military family living on a base in Japan. We had been taking care of a friends white lab (Lily) for a few months already. It was Thanksgiving and I had just taken the turkey out of the oven and set it on the counter to rest. I had to run upstairs for something and returned to find Lily on the counter chowing down on the turkey. I yelled at her and the race was on! She jumped off the counter with the turkey carcass and ran through the living room dragging the thing across our white carpets, with me in hot pursuit! Aww....the memories of family holidays!

    Don’t have a story about dogs & everything bagels, but buckle up for this one. Many years ago, my grandma (who lived with us) brought all sorts of treats home from the senior center, which was day old stuff given to them by the bakery, etc. Well, one day my grandma brought home a full on chocolate cake. Oh yeah. It was left on the kitchen counter and when my mom came back into the kitchen sometime later, it was gone. The platter and plastic lid lay on the floor with doggie lick marks on the inside (from the chocolate frosting). My brother’s dog (a hyperactive boxer) had managed to knock the 100% chocolate cake off the counter and absolutely devour the entire thing. We freaked out and kept a close watch on her, but nothing significant resulted of it. That dog had guts of steel. 😂

I went to take a shower and get dressed to go out for dinner and when I came back into the kitchen our Pyrennes\Mastiff mix was eatting the cake. He looked at me like "Thanks, Mom" and took another bite! He had consumed about 1/2 the cake!
    When I was recounting this story to my in-laws at dinner that night my 8 year old nephew says "Oh that's too bad that you had to make another cake". I explained that we would be eatting the cake I made just not the side where he had eaten. He was appalled to find out we would be eatting "dog slober cake". We did eat it and it was very good.

    😁🦮 We had a golden retriever-Irish setter mix, Whisky. He was taught to “smile”. He also snorted excitedly when he smiled, because we gave him treats. Many stories of Whisky smiling. A few miles down from our farm a neighbor called to get help getting the dog out of his pickup bed. He said every time he approached the dog to coax him out he bared his teeth and “snarled”. My mom just opened her vehicle door and said, “Whisky, let’s go!” And, he smiled and snorted then ran to her vehicle. She told the guy, sorry that’s how he smiles. Friendliest dog we ever had, and everyone eventually met him because he visited everyone.

She ate the entire toppings off an extra large pizza, a medium POT of soup, my father in laws entire fresh cuppa coffee with cream and sugar by stickin’ her head right inside the mug to slurp the entire thing, and an entire bag of dried snacks meant for us. I could go on and on and on. We never gave her human food and gave her good portions of her kibble. To say she was food motivated is the understatement of the year. And yes she was completely fine .. but my main question is how she remained so small?! You don’t gain nuthin! She had fabulous genes!!! 😂 god bless our fur babies

    I make a very tasty spiced pumpkin cake. My sister's HUGE (over 100 pounds) yellow lab/german shepard mix, helped herself, (although my one kitchen counter is extra tall) to an entire pumpkin-spice cake off the cooling rack.
    The next week I made another one, and as my sister and I were enjoying some, Miss Tala begged and cried as if she would die if she didn't get any spice cake. I was afraid that she would demand the entire cake, but we each gave her two tiny bites , and she was satisfied.

    Our first schnauzer we ever had ate a mountain dew and almost a whole 5 lb bag of sugar. We currently have two goldendoodles. First one ate 18 chocolate chip cookies that were cooling and a whole loaf of french bread. He has learned people food is not for him. Our second is a food thief and has eaten (at different times) 5 boxes of cake mix, a whole loaf of bread, half a chocolate cake from a bakery, half a bag of cuties, two cucumbers, and an entire package of tortillas. We now store everything in the microwave or fridge so she can't get to anything.

    My sweet Sasha was maybe 10 weeks old (if that) she was sound asleep on the sofa and I was filling stockings for my three godsons and I had all the chocolates for Christmas. Sasha was sound asleep and snoring little puppy snores. I left her for less than a minute to answer my wall mounted phone with the 100 foot cord (it was 1989) and before I could get back to the sofa (this was a tiny 1 bedroom apartment I was less than 3 feet away) she’d devoured all the candy, wrappers and all and was shredding the stockings. I was sure she’d die from the chocolates if not the wrappers. She lived just shy of 19 years, but I never stuffed another stocking with her in the same room.

    Favorite Weird Al song Amish Paradise. We had a dog, a beagle & cocker spaniel mix, that loved ice cream. Any time anyone said the words ice cream she would come running. So, we started spelling it out. She still came running even when we spelled ice cream. We could spell other words and she would ignore us. She liked to steal our cat's food. We tried our best to keep the cat food up and out of her reach. She ended up passing away from kidney failure, because the protein in cat food is way too high for dogs.

    A couple of years ago I adopted a stray rat terrier type of dog from the humane society, so puppy has short legs. I had made yogurt and put the whey in a measuring cup on the counter by the sink. I had gone outside to feed the chickens and collect eggs. When I came back in the house the measuring cup of whey was empty, approximately 2 cups! Needless to say, I found out that dogs can have human Imodium. Spent the next couple of days walking this dog every hour or so. Still to this day I can’t figure out how her short little legs got her up on the counter!

    Once when I was a teen, I was learning how to cook, and I attempted to make bread on my own in my mom's bread machine. I accidentally made bread with a tablespoon of salt instead of a teaspoon. The bread was ruined because it was super salty, and I was upset by mistake until my dog, Fruitcake, (she was a rescue) decided to grab that loaf of bread off the counter and parade around it the living room. She was pretty excited over that bread. 😅

    Sugar is really good added to bread dough, if your whole wheat flour is getting a bit old, and getting bitter. Or if it's fresh, but a member of your family is very sensitive to the bitter taste.
    Someone (or two) else mentioned buying yeast in bulk and freezing it. yes! I make a 20 mile pilgrimage to the market that carries one pound bags of yeast. So economical, and hold for years in yhe freezer. I open a bag and put some into a glass jar in the fridge, refreeze the rest.

    We aren't big milk drinkers, so I started buying the shelf-stable milk at Dollar Tree, for recipes and such. They last about a year on average on the shelf. Once opened you have to refrigerate them though. We have found they last a LONG time, once opened in the fridge... ( Like I said, not big milk drinkers)....
    . I like to keep things that only require water to prepare, or ready made canned foods, on hand for emergency situations, such a loss of power.
    I recently bought canned ground beef, by Keystone Meats, at Walmart. It only has beef and salt as the ingredients, and it's dated for 5 years! In the comment section of another UA-camr I follow, people were singing praises for it. That YT person tried it and said it was really good. So I bought a can, and plan on buying one whenever we have wiggle room in the grocery money. I figure it could be great to throw into anything.
