Soap story

Well my dear canine companion has been at it again. I found the soap dish from our bathroom on her blanket in the lounge. She had sneakily pinched it from our bathroom and was trying to stash it away without anyone noticing. At least this time there was no soap in it, so she had not ingested yet another bar of soap. As I showed her the empty soap dish and scolded her, she held her head down and tail between her legs, she clearly knew she'd been a "bad dog" and needed to clean up her act (sorry - I couldn't resist the pun!) I attempted to figure out if she was trying to tell us something, but for the life of me I can't think what it could be. Is she telling us she wants a bath? or that she's peckish and in need of a snack, or maybe she barked something offensive and punishing herself washed her mouth out with soap and water! The latter I find hardly plausible. If only she could talk - it would make things so much easier. If anyone out there also has a dog who insists on eating soap, please do write and let me know your thoughts, for we are mystified and can' t work out this sudden odd behaviour.
