My fucking puppy

[KeepServingTheDrinks]

Has just eaten one of my trainers. Properly eaten all of the back. I'm not sure they're wearable.

Like... I can afford to buy trainers for myself at this time of year???? Exercise Buddy is going to think I'm lying because I've reached that point in December where I can't be bothered to do any more exercise until January anyway, so he'll think I've concocted an excuse.

DD is furious with me for throwing said trainer at puppy and isn't speaking to me.

"Puppy" btw is over a year old, so not officially a puppy any more. She's won 3 awards for obedience and training at puppy school (I want my money back!)

Should I kill her?

Or has anyone got any other stories of their "beloved" pet to make me feel better?

p.s. We've already decided we can't have a tree this year (because the little git would trash it) so my heart is already broken

p.p.s If I posted a picture of the little git, you'd all tell me how cute she is and therefore how unreasonable I am. This makes me hate her more!

Walter my little git likes cushions too.

Puppies are such unreasonable bastards.

One of mine destuffed and ate a chair, a real kitchen chair, of of a set of 6. And then burped at me.

My bloody ‘puppy’ (1 and a half) ate ds1’s retainers. £70.00 to replace.

He was more than a little git that day! Luckily we didn’t have to pay the whole whack but my god I was cross, tonight he ate ds2’s rubber not to mention countless toys and some of my lovely cushions.

I don’t blame you for throwing your half eaten trainer at her! Bugger.

He looks like he’s wearing a roll neck jumper OP. One you lovingly knitted for him.

He dog regularly gets threatened with rehoming, to the point that I think he knows the words "dogs trust" as a command to stop doing what he is doing!

I've edited the picture. Unedited, higher up is me being given the rosette and certificate to prove her good training and aptitude.

She cheated those bloody tests! and I went along with it because I was so proud of the sodding rosette, which she has since eaten!

I have a 7 mth old puppy. I must admit she is a well behaved dog and doesn't chew at all apart from her toys and has been doing great a toilet training........but yesterday 10 minutes after I let her out for a wee, she jumped up on the sofa next to where I was sitting and done a piss right next to me. It was only that I felt something warm on my foot that I looked at her mid action my socks soaked most of it up good job my sofas are leather

When my cat was just a kitten, she went in our bedroom bin and ate an entire condom.. we knew thus because we found the bib spilled over, and the wrapper on the other side of the room.

It was not a fun conversation to have with the vet. Was even not fun-er when she threw it up in front of friends we had round.. in all its glory.

You hit your dog with a shoe. FFS. Sounds like you need more training than your dog.

My dope of a dog jumped out of the boot of a car just as my dope of a pony was trotting past. The pony shied and dented DH's car, which was parked alongside, with her big arse. We were not amused.

Correction hit the dog by throwing a shoe at it. Not that it's any better.

Also, our 'lovely' cat jumped on the bonnet of my car, misjudged it, and scrabbled around trying to find a foothold. Loads of scratches on the car. We got it earlier that day. How he didn't get the boot that day I'll never know.

You could always put a tiny Christmas tree up high, out of your pups reach.... Just make sure she can't find a way to climb up! Chest of drawers was in the living room whilst we were doing building work in the bedroom, not quite sure how I'm going to dog and, cruising/crawling baby proof the tree this year!

My cloth-eared git of a 5 mo pup weighs about 50lbs and is a real arsehole sometimes. Today he has put me on my arse in the snow in temps of -17 twice, first time by running and leaping at me, the second by going crackers on the lead at an invisible something. He's a St. Bernard cross so is considerably bigger than most puppies of his age! 😂

Should you kill her? Well if she has swallowed a big chunk of trainer and it causes an obstruction you wont have to!

my dog likes wires, especially charging cables. She likes to take them upstairs and chew them under our bed. I was looking for something under our bed the other day and found about a dozen chewed cables and twenty chewed up pens under the bed!

Walter we've explored every option... A tree is not going to be possible. It's another reason to take out a contract on her.

In the meantime, could I move into your house, please? Your DDog is gorgeous!

Mine has a sense of the adventurous coupled with no morals, no guilt, no idea of consequences, no shame. And she's a brazen hussy.

Some posters think I shouldn't have thrown a shoe. I'm thinking it should have been a grenade!

Decided to buy the dogs a giant bean bag. Thought would be lovely and comfortable for them .... took forever to clean up. Still find random balls months later

Dogs under 2 years old= WILL CHEW EVERYTHING. Assume they will chew everything as soon as your back is turned. Nothing left on floor or sofas or coffee tables. He’ll, dont even have a coffee table, he’ll chew the legs. Dont have stairs or floors either, he’ll chew through those too.

In June 2014 we lost our beautiful black Lab , he was 14 and 3 weeks when he died. In July 2014 we adopted this little bundle of fun, Mollie the collie. Two weeks after coming home she stole the card the vet sent us after putting our old fella to sleep, Mollie the collie did absolutely NOT steal his card and eat it. Oh no siree, not her. Nor does she steal socks.

I think throwing a shoes at a dog is abusive. Dog's sometimes chew things, it you can't keep your temper you should probably look at rehoming the dog for it's own wellbeing.

Posters who think that throwing a soft shoe at a dog is abusive and warrants rehoming need to spend some time volunteering with a rescue or a welfare organisation to get some perspective.

When she was a puppy my dog ate an entire leg off the dinner table while I was in the bath. Not only was the table wrecked I spent an hour pinning her down and digging splinters out of her mouth with tweezers.

DDog 1 ate through a wall. Nice sized hole that he could poke his head through into the next room. Also ate half a washing machine and his own shit quite regularly

DDog 2 ate several doors, a CEMENT floor, multiple toys and iPads

DDog 3 only eats dirty knickers. Must be dirty. Stolen straight from the washing basket.
