Then leave the little slime ball there until he realises just how cushy he has it!!

Since i have had him he has destroyed 2 lap top chargers, two pairs of crocs, a pair of glasses that cost £160 and i couldnt afford to replace them, having to wear my old prescription, the final straw - the little bastard has just eaten my bed! MY side of the bed too, i can't afford to replace that either so i am going to have to just try and stuff all the wadding back inside and sew it back together. I have had the week from hell, today being the worst of it and then i come home to find out that dog #1 managed to open the bedroom door and bastard dog #2 was clearly having a fine old time of it in my abscence - we are talking 15 minutes while i did the school run Angry

now of course i wouldn't dream of leaving him at the dogs trust, where i got him from, but he needs to understand that he is a very lucky dog - he is spoilt rotten, gets the best dog food, lots of toys and he SLEEPS ON MY FUCKING BED! This is how he repays me, bastard bastard bastard animal!

yes i know its my own fault, i should have put the bungy strap around the door like i always do but i was running late after cleanin the bathroom

Ilovemydogandmydoglovesme · 18/10/2012 22:34

That's encouraging. Smile

We had labs when I was younger that liked to eat, and I do remember one trying to eat his way through a wall. He also had a penchant for shoes and anything lying on the floor that he clearly considered to be his. Would love to have one now though!

McHappyPants2012 · 18/10/2012 22:36

love your sofa HoneyDragon :)

CiderwithBuda · 18/10/2012 22:39

My God. I thought mine were bad. Two labs. One has eaten a bed. Dog bed not human bed. And a book. And used to like shoes but just slobbered on them. They are angels compared to some!

Although tonight I was ready to bang their heads together. One wanted to be inside. The other wanted to be outside. But they want to be together. So I have one barking outside pretending to the one inside that there is something exciting in the garden so that she will come out. So she barks to go out. Then she realises that she has been tricked and barks to come back in. Black one won't come in. Not even with a treat. Not even with door from utility room open to kitchen (she checks she has full access before she comes in as I do often have to shut them in the utility which is also where they sleep). So yellow one is inside wanting the black one in and black one is outside wanting the yellow one out. Finally got them both in and settled and some bugger let off some fireworks!

Add phone chargers? What is it about the bastards that makes them it phone chargers?

catinwitchyboots · 18/10/2012 22:39

eat

AlmostAHipster · 18/10/2012 22:43

My lad tries to eat hedgehogs! He brings them into the house, dripping his own blood all over where he's been stuck with prickles. Stupid hound!

AlmostAHipster · 18/10/2012 22:43

The hedgehogs just curl up and wait for me to pick them up in a tea towel and return them to the garden btw.

freddiefrog · 18/10/2012 22:45

Yes, mine has an inordinate liking for hedgehogs. They must hurt, but I guess where there's no sense, there's no feeling.

He's also quite keen on fox shit, but is massively offended by slugs

Iatemyskinnyperson · 18/10/2012 22:47

I have lab lying on my foot. So far today he has eaten:
DS2s new snow boots
Toilet roll
Plastic motor bike
Various pens
A pissy pull-up which he rifled out of the rubbish
Multiple cuddly toys

He would eat the couch except the wood stove is on which sends him comatose

So IMO labs are deffo stomachs on legs

Iamscaredandworried · 18/10/2012 22:49

I don't want to bring down the tone of this lovely thread, but it's making me so sad because we might actually have to take our dog back to the rescue place tomorrow :(
We fostered him earlier this year, we were told that they were prosecuting his previous owners and that the court case would happen in the next few weeks, that was 9 months ago and they have finally had the court case today. We haven't heard the outcome yet.
If the rescue people win the case we can keep him.nif the previous owners win the case we may get a call tomorrow to say right hand he dog over now, we have to give him back :(
He was really damaged when he came to us and we have worked so hard to win his trust, now he is the most affectionate, playful little thing and we love him so much. The thought of potentially handing him back tomorrow is horrible horrible horrible.
So hug your dogs tight tonight even when they chew you out of house and home! Sorry for being bleak rather than funny, just feel so sad.

HoneyDragon · 18/10/2012 22:50

Dragon-dog bemused vets for YEARS due to excessive random drooling. They thought she was possibly having stokes Shock, or being poisoned Shock, or had damaged her mouth or even lodged something in her throat. One several different occasions we rushed her to the vets so they could assess, particularly as it was worse in the summer (heatstroke perhaps?).

In her 7th year on Earth the mystery was solved by a vet nurse. Dragon-Dog, in fact, had a chronic Frog licking habit Hmm

Once we trained her to stop licking them at night in the garden, she stopped drooling.

McHappyPants2012 · 18/10/2012 22:51

Iatemyskinnyperson can i send DC cuddly toys over

freddiefrog · 18/10/2012 22:53

iamscaredandworried I really hope you get good news tomorrow. Fingers crossed for you!

HoneyDragon · 18/10/2012 22:54

IamScared Sad
Not bleak at all I hope we hear good news tomorrow for your dog and he is allowed to keep you guys.

Sassybeast · 18/10/2012 22:54

I have spent a FORTUNE on dog toys. I have every fecking version of plastic burgers, squeaky pigs, balls on ropes that Pets at Home have to offer. The little fecker STILL ate the kitchen door....

Iamscared - that makes me so mad - how on earth could there be ANY chance they would get him back Angry

notsofrownieface · 18/10/2012 22:55

Hully I thought it was just me that had duct tape sofas! Grin yep my dogs have eaten my sofas Hmm, three and I note three playstation controls, and about 30 blu rays, we had just moved so they were on the floor, I know I know, the carnage was unbelievable. However I love my dogs and wouldn't change them for the world.

ChaoticismyLife · 18/10/2012 22:56

Chaotic dog chewed the plug off of my vacuum so I couldn't use it Wink

Not so clever she also chewed two of the legs off of one of my dining table chairs rendering it unusable.

Chaotic dog also pinched and ate some garlic bread and spent the rest of the day stinking the place out. We had to evacuate the living room a few times the smell was that bad.

Ilovemydogandmydoglovesme · 18/10/2012 22:57

skinnyperson is that a typical day?

Shock
HoneyDragon · 18/10/2012 22:57

All the classiest Mnetters have knackered, scratched sofas held together with duct tape. The Farrow & Ball talk is just a sham Wink

Iamscaredandworried · 18/10/2012 22:58

Thank you, really didn't mean to hijack thread, just saw all the lovely posts and it all spilled out. I will post an update as soon as I have one. The thought of handing him back to owners that were bad enough to get dogs seized and get prosecuted is heartbreaking, but I do know that that's he risk we took when we fostered. So do feel a bit silly for being so emotional now!
Anyway going back to the more fun side of this thread, he is a bugger for chewing shoes. In fact not so much chewing, just stealing and burying them :)

BCBG · 18/10/2012 22:58

My bastard spaniel makes it easy for me to have four dogs because she eats their poop and then wants a cuddle! Boak.... have tried everything short of taping her muzzle together (and I do mean everything) Sad

Iamscaredandworried · 18/10/2012 22:59

Sassy, my cynical opinion of our legal system is that a lot depends who can afford he more expensive barrister, and how daft the judge is! Fingers crossed x
