Make me feel better with your tales of animal debauchery

[aduckinarow]

I've a dog . I love him dearly . But my cos they're disgusting creatures at times

I've just gone downstairs to the faint smell of dog poo

Searched for the offending smell, (he has been out btw )

Found a small stain on the carpet which is luckily very easy to clean as anti stain carpet but - this means he has shat on the floor and unless he went and got a doggy bag , picked it up and put it in the bin ......it means he ate it . 🤢

He's acting like nothing happened. I've had to steam the carpet with dettol.

Why are animals such , animals !

I had quite a bad period leak overnight on my bedding. I was also running late for the school run, so I asked DP to strip bedding and soak whilst I was out. Came back and the undersheet still in situ, but the blood stain had been properly scrubbed out. Called down to DH to thank him for having got on top of the stain. He shouted up that he'd forgotten to do anything with the bedding. To my horror I realised it was my dog who had scrubbed the blood out. Disgusting.

So glad the poo eating is common. I sometimes catch my beautiful boy in the act.. he makes eye contact while it sloppily falls from his mouth.

@301963Laurie yes, she's unusually repulsive. I've had dogs all my life and never known one as bad as she is. She's healthy and happy, just revolting.

My dog was once so desperate to eat his poo he swallowed the poo bag it was in. Didn't even give it a chew. That resulted in a trip to the vet!

Walking in Somerset once, we turned a corner out of a wood and there towering above us just a few feet from the stile was a Friesian dairy cow mounting another. They are some of the largest cows and when standing up like that tower about 10ft high. What we saw was this massive ugly head and face looking down at us with lots of stomping and hoof action. It was like something out of Lord of The Rings.

I love my dogs, but they are so horrible, between them eating a vast variety of poo and long dead creatures, rolling in poo and musk, licking themselves noisily, etc.

My question is: we have bred dogs for many centuries, managed to domesticate them, etc. Can't we selectively breed to eliminate these worst excesses of debauchery?

We once had a Jack Russell who considered sheep droppings a great delicacy.

I thought my Jack Russell was a disgrace but he wasn't a patch on this one. Just everyday vomit eating, fox shit rolling and horse shit eating. I got so sick of having to give him baths after the fox shit incidents I decided to take him to the beach so he couldn't find any to roll in. He rolled on a dead fish instead and it was a 30 drive home with the rank smelling dog in the car.

I went to a barbecue once where the owners tortoise spent over an hour noisily humping a bag of sand. Mouth open and gasping.

He eventually wore a hole in it. The bag, not his willy.

My big ginger tom stole food from neighbours bbq, dragged it up onto their garage roof and glared at everyone while eating it. Luckily, neighbour found it hilarious (and I think filmed the bbq thief) but I was mortified!

As a child my labrador ate a baby blackbird by swallowing it pretty much whole and then vomited it up in large chunks. My brother and I were looking after her alone for the first time whilst my parents went shopping. I think we were pretty traumatised haha.

My current lurcher will occasionally mess in her bed (rescue, some ongoing issues) and managed once to bundle it up in her duvet, get it all over her and when I let her out of her room did parkour over three sofas, up the stairs and onto our bed and got poo absolutely everywhere. I was trying to wfh, hold meetings, scrub hernin the shower and steam clean carpets, duvets and sofa covers all day. She was not my best pal.

I did a foot mask, the type that leads to a skin peel a few days later. A few days later while I worked on my computer, my husband sat and peeled it and amassed a huge pile of peeled skin. He went to fetch a paper towel to bin it all, returned and started looking around weirdly and talking quietly to our dog. Months later, he confessed she’d eaten the whole pile. He didn’t want to tell me as he knew I’d find it gross and may not be able to look at her the same way again.

She has bad separation anxiety from me, which makes her skin eating yet more creepy.

We had farm dogs when I was growing up - there is no limit to the kind of rank stuff dogs will root out and eat. One particularly gross incident was in the early summer where the sheep would be "dagged" - that is have all the shitty wool around their bums shorn off to prevent flies. It was then stored in the barn to be collected by a company who would make it in to plant fertilizer. The dogs would regard this as some sort of free buffet and would often be found in the barn chomping away at shit encrusted wool.

Which is why I will never never never allow a dog to sleep on my bed (or sofa coem to that) or lick my face.

Cat pooped on the carpet once. Dog ate it.

Oh thank fuck for that.

Never have I been so grateful for my (bad) skim reading.

Our old dog was a terror for cat poo.
She ate some and promptly came it and barfed it up on the carpet. DH was hoovering and never noticed and proceeded to drag Henry through the poo/vomit and around the living room. How he didn't smell it I'll never know.
A few weeks ago my dog brought in a dead baby mouse, it must have been newborn it was tiny and furless.
She then proceeded to go outside, find 2 more and had the zoomies around the garden with then dangling from her mouth.

Mine once ran round the garden with a big dead rotting rat hanging from his mouth, I don't think he killed it as he's a not very fast or bright shih tzu. He refused to drop it until I offered him some chicken

My potty training toddler pooped on the living room floor, grabbed her to clean her up and by the time I’d come back (about 3 minutes) the dog had eaten it 🤢

Mine too

on holiday in the lakes mine picked up a dead rabbit . Couldn’t catch her to remove it . She then crunched the skull/ jaw and the two ears were hanging out of her mouth - yep you guessed it she swallowed them in one . Needless to say she pooped what resembled pasta a couple of days later - cue visit to the vet for worm treatment .

Yeah, my old girl used to eat dog poo when she was a puppy, would eat the cats vomit and loved to roll in fox poo.

The worst time was when I took her with me to let a neighbours dog out for a wee break. I thought that the neighbours dog could have a lovely run around with my dog in their big garden.

What I didn’t know was my neighbour had had a roast chicken cooking disaster. She had left the baking tray with a fully incinerated black charcoal chicken sitting in an inch of congealed fat outside her back door. I retrieved the tray and put it out of reach.

Did you know dogs can vomit at will? They don’t have to do that gagging thing first. Well my dog emptied her entire stomach contents onto our new Habitat rug. A foul and evil smelling pile of charcoal and rancid fat.

My little terrier loves going on walks in fields where the rabbits hang out so he can have "snacks" on the go, yep he eats rabbit poo (Or trail mix as we now call it)

My dog does this but pukes it back up.

Our dog used to clean the litter tray out of morsels.

Leaves treats to mature in plants pots then hides them under my pillow, not my husband's, mine.

Eats sheep poo, contemplatively, savouring it.

Loves a dead bird on the beach, head goes up, she scampers off then rolls in it all four feet in the air, occasionally looking up to see how far away you are shouting 'got off that you little git!', then goes back to a good roll.
