It was his birthday on Monday. Hes now 17. He’s been a fucking nightmare of a dog but also legendary.
He’s eaten so many things that should have caused issues and nothing has caused an issue. So far he has;
- eaten 5 boxes of denta sticks with 6 packs of them in each box so a ridiculous amount of denta sticks as DH hadn’t ever had a dog (hes mine pre meeting DH so he just left them on the floor and Hugo just destroyed them all. He puked them all up on the one rug we had in the house..
- He ate some dough that was proofing, then puked it up (on the same rug as above) and then was banging into things, so off to the vets we go, the vet pronounced him drunk off the yeast in the dough 🤦♀️
- we moved across the country and knew no one so we found a lovely professional dog walker who was going to have him when we officially moved in. I handed them his muzzle and said basically don’t take it off him please he’s such a liability, she handed him back at 8pm without his muzzle and said he wasn’t aggressive to other dogs so it was removed. I reminded them that he wasn’t wearing it for aggression but because he eats shit off the floor. I asked for their insurance and sure enough he needed emergency surgery to remove a child’s sock, a Lego action man and 37p in change.
- we changed our holiday to bring him with us and he refused to walk and made my husband carry him up 2 flights of stairs in the hotel and when DH put him lovingly on the dog bed in our room he jumped on the bed..
- when he was having his stitches out after surgery the vet gave me such a lecture about how I needed to be more on the ball and make sure he didn’t eat anything he wasn’t supposed to, and whilst that was happening he chewed off the vets shoelaces.
I’ve never met such a ridiculous dog but honestly he’s hilarious and ridiculous. He’s a corgi x Labrador and frankly it’s a surprise to everyone that he’s still going
