Anyway,\u00a0my friends and family had a nice fun\u00a0evening together and everyone left around 1 am.<br \/>\nWhen I went into my bedroom I found the zippers on my purse had been opened (I always close\u00a0them)\u00a0and every single item had been removed &#8211; my wallet, pens, papers, hairbrush, hand sanitizer,\u00a0lip gloss and few other items.\u00a0It looked like each item had been strategically placed\u00a0on the floor around the bed.\u00a0Some credit cards had even been taken\u00a0out of my wallet and spread around.\u00a0There was not a\u00a0tooth mark\u00a0on anything!!<br \/>\nRocky followed me around\u00a0and\u00a0simply\u00a0stared at me while I picked everything up. It was done so neatly I though maybe one of my friends or family members had snuck into the bedroom to play a joke on me. I even called to ask them- but it was my sweet innocent looking Rocky that did the job!\u00a0I guess it was his way of letting me know he wanted attention. He\u00a0has done it a couple times since then too. Prior to that I thought he wasn&#8217;t the &#8220;sharpest knife in the drawer&#8221;, if you know what I mean<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/1AoKWN155VKGsXlRbfER4uoryop68S-FX7YRnu1qg1AVbADsZD4Ldj3vkgjNyTINfuJp84p4Ocy0OF7ca-41tMJB5b8mSk2dt8-iYt0SkRCQp9AMlCnJvt1IZiKKnjXAXA\" width=\"19px;\" height=\"19px;\" \/>.\u00a0He sure showed me!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b id=\"internal-source-marker_0.6290647417772561\">Moral of this story\u2026Your family pet is a lot smarter than you think\u2026CAREFUL!!<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/petmonarchy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Rocky-purse-searcher.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-1229\" alt=\"Rocky purse investigator\" src=\"https:\/\/petmonarchy.com\/pmworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Rocky-purse-searcher.jpg\" width=\"222\" height=\"294\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<address>Written by Guest Blogger Franca &#8211; mum of Rocky<\/address>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Pets are smarter than we think &nbsp; &nbsp; My little pups name is Rocky and he is 3 years old.
