For my ndn.
Elderly man died in November.. Same week we moved in. Never actually saw him.
He owns a huge mahoosive and loud ddog..
Which the family took away and by the looks of it struggle to manage him.
As in struggle to manage to get it to stfu.
They are obviously clearing and cleaning the house to sell. (fingers crossed)
They bring Brutus (nc so not to bark- shame the twat)

Shall I buy them a pineapple to help things along?
Possibly bake some bread and hope the smell filters through?
My head can't take it any longer..
Proved today the woman there (dd /dsis?) was cleaning the sills as it threw itself against the glass trying to eat me. She didn't flinch. Didn't move it or acknowledge it's behaviour is ott...
What thing do you want to assist with irl but sadly can't?
Have a car towed?
Cut a lawn in a jungle garden?
Rehome a ndn's ddog /dcat /dc?
Remove vocal cords from a singing ndn?
Post your vents here....

So the dog is only there when they're cleaning the house? And doesn't live there now?

Hardy a big deal then.

Dunno what the pineapple thing is. I'm lost.

I have no idea what a stunt pineapple is. But it reminds me of when my dog was a puppy. We'd had him for months and he'd never, ever barked. It was like he didn't know how.

One day, I heard one short, sharp, very grown up sounding bark coming from the kitchen. I thought another dog had broken in, because of course, my dog didn't bark. And he was too small and cute for the big deep bark I heard.

I walked in there, to see puppy with his head cocked on one side, confused, staring at the satsuma that he'd somehow stolen from the fruit bowl that was high up. He'd tried to play with it, bitten it, and the citrus squirting back at him had shocked him into his first ever bark.

Was it a stunt satsuma? Or a reverse stunt satsuma (as it caused barking, not stopped it).

I think the stunt pineapple is to aid in the hopefully speedy sale of the house.

I dont know what youre on OP but I want some.

A few years ago, a Mumsnetter whose house was for sale, said that she had a stunt pineapple in her fruit bowl - a piece of fruit for display purposes, not for eating. Every time I see a pineapple, this thought flitters between my ears.

sweeneytoddsrazor · 27/03/2025 14:06

What sort of stunts can these pineapples do? Can they jump 13 buses on a motorbike?

What’s a stunt pineapple?

Haven’t actually got a clue what the post was about, apart from an elderly man died, op moved in next door, relatives are clearing the house (I think) and old man and now relatives have a dog called Brutus (not real name).

DancingOctopus · 27/03/2025 14:05

I think she means that these things will help the house to sell.
There's no guarantee that the new neighbours won't have a barky dog and they won't be coming and going , they will be there permanently. Be careful what you wish for.

Is it me?
I want to chuckle along with this but i don't know what you're on about OP 😳

YamsVsEggplants · 27/03/2025 14:03

🤨

So you've moved in & in the same week NDN passed away.
You never met each other.
NDN who's now passed owned a barky, big dog.
Dog now lived with family but family are clearing the house, possibly for sale & being the dog back to the house while cleaning / clearing.

This makes you want to bake bread that NDN family can smell and / or buy a pineapple (possibly one that can do stunts (?)).

I am so confused.

GottaWork · 27/03/2025 14:02

I am also confused. My dog is a yappy fucker at times. Is a stunt pineapple the answer?

Smallmercies · 27/03/2025 13:58

Are pineapples lethal for dogs? Are stunt pineapples extra agile? I am so confused.

I'm not sure what's going on here.
