My dog has disgraced herself this morning.

But I don't care about you, your child or your opinions .
You know nothing of my life.

Maybe my child is well socialised? What sort of presumption is that? He'd been happy seeing dogs up to that point.
Maybe it was during covid when there wasn't much socialisation. Sorry I can't stop a plague on all our houses. Maybe was, maybe wasn't. Don't make assumptions though but seems you already have.
Maybe the world doesn't live according to your rosy selfish rules.
Maybe dog owners should take RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DOGS instead of letting them bowl kids over and give them the scare of their life.
Maybe you should pay for my kid's therapy. You are after all one of the ones who has caused it and seem pretty nonchalant about it.
Because apparently it's all my fault. Not yours.
What a convenient entitled dog-owning world you live in. People like you give them all a bad name. I used to own a dog for the record. He was adorable. But some dog owners are bad and need to learn that it's not funny when a dog whips something out of child's hand and they really do need to go over and say sorry and talk to the child and sort things out and not leave an unstitched psychological wound gaping open.

He's not subtle he was found in the raised bed harvesting strawberries one day.

@Skiptogetfit you'd hate my dog she can inhale a biscotti from a child's hand and be half way along the street before the child even realises it's gone 😳
Ps she's on the lead and doesn't even turn her head towards the child/buggy I swear she just inhales it on the way past

Mine loved being in the greenhouse with her granny too. My mum was wondering why all the ripe cherry tomatoes, closer to ground level, were disappearing. Turns out, my ddog was helping herself to them, along with the strawberries (she's small, otherwise the ones higher up would likely have disappeared too). She's now banned from the greenhouse.

@Skiptogetfit how to ruin a light hearted thread

My dog pissed on a headless snowman earlier.

I just love this thread 🥰

So many funny stories and so many adorable dogs, bliss.

We met a couple during a walk last week. The lady was blind. She was fussing ours and one of them weed up her leg. He has never done anything like that before. She took it very well!

We were at a summer fete with a bbq, an elderly man was sitting on a low wall with a burger and chips in one of those polystyrene containers. As we walked past my dog went to grab the burger from the man's hand as he picked it up..he didn't even notice she did it so gently and sneakily....we weren't sure whether she had a lick so stopped him taking a bite and got a replacement. She doesn't even try to get food at home..Fortunately, he thought it was funny ..phew..

When my son was about 3 he was in a laundrette with me enjoying a Mars bar. A lady came in with a German Shepherd who very gently took it out of his hand. The lady was mortified and went to the shop and replaced it. Son stood there looking mortally offended, I was nearly hysterical. He wasn't in any way traumatised and now has his own dog.

Well, that put Feathers in his place. Not that he didn't have it coming of course 😁

It will…. Not a toddler but someone’s child ran over and offered their ice cream to my Lab. Of course, Lab took a big lick. I offered to buy another ice cream, but the parents had a lab too and just smiled and shrugged.

@Skiptogetfit my Lab was on a lead. It’s also happened with a bar of chocolate quickly produced from a child’s pocket. Unfortunately I was not blessed with cat like reflexes and was too slow to stop the exchange. Sometimes it’s the human’s fault. Sometimes shit happens.

Same dog ( when she was a Working Guide Dog ) her owner /partner .guidee (don;t know the technical term) would give me coffee and a biscuit .
The dog ( knowing I was asleep) would come in and noisily breathe on the biscuit till it had enough Dog Germs that I said she could have it . She'd never steal .

My parents retired Guide Dog ( so should be above this sort of thing , yes?)
deftly took the cake from my grandfathers hand .
In the dog's defence , my grandad had Parkinsons so he was holding the cake at her eye level and shaking it (which to a greedy Labrador is a Green Light "Come and eat this" )

My Grandad was raging
My Dad ( laughed quietly ) had to tell the dog she was naughty !

This beast has just stolen a pat of butter and scarfed it down! Rookie error leaving it out.

I looked up once in a cafe to a toddler hanging out his highchair feeding my dog Victoria sponge.

Mine cocked his leg on the coat of a lady kneeling on the beach so that she could talk to her toddler. DH spotted what was about to happen and dived to shove him away, just as the lady moved back to stand. He knocked her over and the dog still managed to pee a bit. Lady is sprawled on the sand- toddler is now crying.

The dog had NEVER done anything like that before, or indeed since.

We were utterly mortified. Lady was shocked, but very lovely about it. I gave her £20 to get fish and chips because she wouldn’t let us pay to get her coat cleaned (tbf it looked washable, but that wasn’t the point).

My dog loves working in the greenhouse with his granny, however due to past thefts of tomatoes he is usually left outside with the occasional tomato thrown out for him, which the chickens then steal from him.

these have really cheered me up!
not dog but can i offer up my humiliation of my cat?
cooked lovely meal, he then stole the meat off the one relatives plate.
he was not sorry.
( i also may have spent a lot of time hiding to laugh).

Omg i’m not a dog owner or a big lover of them, but have you always been this dramatic 😆
all these funny stories and then your posts 🙄nicest way thread might not be for you seems you may have issues with dogs.

Another carrot lover here! We did a 12 days of Christmas photo challenge with our dog trainer and one of them was to hold a carrot on your dogs nose, this was the closest we could get……
