I used one of those foot peel masks & was peeling the skin off. My beagle ran in & ate it all! 🤢

He also rolls in fox shit. And knocked over bathroom bin & took out tampon applicator & ... cleaned it 🤢

My staffy, when she was a puppy, ate the arses out of my DS' pants.

My DS came into living room & saw beagle chewing something, hanging half out his mouth. I told him it was more skin I'd peeled off my feet (he'd jumped up on table) and DS was heaving. He called him a disgusting shit & left the room! 😂 beagle couldn't give a fuck.

These are brilliant and yes @Motorina it should be required reading!! I just mentioned it on a new thread about someone getting a beagle.

Ddog likes eating rabbit poo and will go
Out of her way to do so. She also likes rolling in dead fish, rotting sea birds and fox poo

She hates baths but because she has it once we get home the connection between crime and needing a bath has gone

My dog rolls in anything. Living in flooded fenland provides him with ample opportunity. So far this year he has rolled in a rotting, stranded 6 pound dead carp and a putrefying swan. After rolling in the swan he came cantering back to me all happy covered in rotting swan innards.

I gagged all the way home. 4 baths, 3 ketchup baths and he still stank.

One more and I’m done...

My old girl was prone to anal gland problems. She had one flare up on a Saturday night late and, whilst it was clearly sore, it was not something which justified an out of hours visit.

So, I’m lying there listening to the awful slurping sound of a dog nadgering at her unmentionables, inches from my ear. Suddenly, blessed silence, and the dawning realisation that pus and horror was draining all over my pillow.

(This thread should be required reading for any potential dog-owner.)

@Motorina Ffs, I'm gagging. 🤢😂

@Oldishusernewname I felt the same when my staffy caught the squirrels - I was partly impressed, but mostly disappointed. Worse that ppl were screaming watching her! 😩😂

@Horehound that's true love. Hope your friend appreciated it!

@Ski37 Noooooo!!! 🤢

@mummabubs we lose all dignity as dog owners! 😂

@Motorina

Beagles are basically dickheads.

Let's get T-shirts made! 😂

I'm loving this thread as it makes me think my four hounds aren't as bad as I thought. I've lots of stories but the one that sticks on my mind was many years ago while walking my greyhound in woods beside a fishing lake. It was a cold and frosty Sunday morning and everything was white. In the distance I could see ddog face down in something. It was a fresh fisherman's shite, bright orange and stinking of curry. Ddog proceeded to chomp the lot, it was between his teeth. I gagged all the way home in the car as he burped and filled the air with curried shite...I could still smell it the next day as it was shat out.

As a kid, we lived on an island that had its own sewerage plant. There were some outdoor pools of brown thickish liquid that I can only assume it was poo going through a process of some sort. It did not smell. I know it didn't smell, because our springer, who loved to swim, would find a gap under the fence and swim just ecstatically in this, jump out and run back to me and, because she was wet, would shake it off all over me. I got wise really quickly after the first time and either had her on a leash or avoided that area for her walk. But sometimes I forgot. I think I am still traumatised.

loubieloo4 · 19/01/2020 03:54

Ddog many moons ago and has now since passed...

Ate a full large tub of sudocrem, the aftermath we allied into was discussing, it just kept going and going, we needed a new carpet afterEnvy

Shev1996 · 19/01/2020 03:19

My baby is an absolute angel, would never do anything bad...unless it’s cat or fox poo, then it’s like gourmet meal time! Have you ever tried pulling poo out of a dogs mouth whilst gagging???

BritWifeinUSA · 19/01/2020 03:15

I’m never getting a dog after reading this thread...

Sparkle2020 · 19/01/2020 02:43

@morningsarethebest laughing so much at this. One of my dogs loves watching too, it’s so creepy. Sometimes she’ll jump up and lick the duvet over us and we have to get her out and barricade her out of the room 😂😂

Sparkle2020 · 19/01/2020 02:41

My dog ate her own shit all the time as a puppy. Ate our adult dogs poo too when she got the chance. She’s 4 now and still does it on occasion, it’s like she’s treating herself every few months. So disgusting. Also likes to put her head under the other dog when it’s going for a wee. I don’t think she has many brain cells bless her. Other theory is that everytime she does it we bath her and she LOVES the bath (jumps in even when it’s empty and just stands there watching me as it to say cmon give me a rinse Grin)

Had relatives staying in spare room. My cat wanders in whilst relatives on the phone and sits on her open suitcase brimming with her things.

She looks my relative right in the eye and pisses all in the suitcase without breaking eye contact then went and sat next to her freshly cleaned litter tray.

QuestionableMouse · 19/01/2020 01:18

My dog pissed on me tonight. He's a bit thick at times and got me rather than the tree I was standing next to. Wasn't overly impressed with him because I had to walk home with a wet leg, stinking!

morningsarethebest · 19/01/2020 00:31

Years back, pre DH and DD, my greyhound was a real cock enthusiast. If he ever thought I might be having sex, he'd run upstairs to watch or - worse - try to join in. I am still scarred by the time he crept up behind some poor chap I was dating and licked his balls from behind 😂

TheNestedIf · 19/01/2020 00:16

I've remembered another one, although I didn't have to see/smell/clean up the aftermath so I'm not as traumatised as my mother was

Our cat used to sleep in the kitchen at night and frequently liked to perform inspections of the lower cupboards. One day, he.had a fight with another cat and came away with a scratch on the top of his head which, as cat scratches often do, went septic and rapidly turned into a huge abscess.

Guess where he was and what he was doing when the abscess popped?

Serin · 19/01/2020 00:09

Oh and another time we were on St Agnes beach with baby DD playing happily on a blanket and a bloody labradoodle thing walked past with its owner and wee'd all over her.
Owner laughed Hmm

mummabubs · 19/01/2020 00:00

Our greyhound loves eating cat poop and his own vom (yum) but probably the worse to date when when he ate a whole chicken off the kitchen side... bones and all. Cue 72 hours of me terrfiedly watching for the slightest indication of internal punctures and dreading the enormous vet bill/ stress that this would incur. Great news - no rupturing of organs and he proceeded to pass it out bit by bit. Not so great news - turns out he'd also eaten the string that binds the bird together and this had become stuck mid-exit. After watching him strain repeatedly to no avail I literally had no choice but to pull the entire lentgth of shit covered string out of my dog's arsehole in front of other horrified dog walkers. At least I had a spare poo bag to act as a glove.

At a rowing regatta, DS got to the finish line so absolutely shattered that he threw up in the river.
Immediately a labrador jumped in, swam over and ate the floating bits. In front of a few hundred people too.

Ski37 · 18/01/2020 23:48

In wet weather he has also been known to come in with multiple slugs stuck to his fur (and he is a short haired mog). He cries at me until I remove them- I pride myself with being able to deal with most things but slugs are testing my limits 😳
