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

Iamscared, I hope you get to keep your dog, will keep my fingers crossed.

HoneyDragon · 18/10/2012 23:01

Aaaargh stealing and burying is worse. You have to find the bloody things then!

My Mums Lab was a poo scoffer. Cat Poo, her own Poo, sheep po cow poo duck poo - as long as it had traversed a rectum it was considered damn good food.

My Mum had to watch out for each time she had a crap and then rugby tackle her away from it to get it in bag before mouth Grin

She is now 15 and incontinent and leaves it for my Mum to clean up.

StateofConfusion · 18/10/2012 23:02

Cheers for this thread, I'm dog sitting my Mums labrador/retriever X, he's 9mo, fecking huge and bloody stupid.

My mum told me after I'd taken him home he ate 6 dvds and the cases this week.

He licked a candle earlier, looking at me, as though to say, "turn your back I dare you, this is lunch"

Dp dug the stairgates out, Milo now has the confines of the kitchen anytime we take our eyes off him.

My house isn't going to survive until saturday, is it?

NoMoreMarbles · 18/10/2012 23:02

Daisy-dog eats anything that will fit in her jaws! Except most dog foods of course. She is so fussy with meat flavoured food but is happy to eat a barbie doll head and random sections of the kitchen... She's an oddity... Hmm

HoneyDragon · 18/10/2012 23:04

SOC, it will survive yes, of course it will. How do you feel about substantial remodelling though? Grin

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 18/10/2012 23:10

Honeydragon - we took ddog2 to the vet for excessive drooling, and we're told she had probably licked a toad. It's nice to know we are not alone. she has also rolled in half a dead (and runny) seal - she smelled vile!

Ddog1 (choc lab, ddog2 is lab pointer cross), has eaten so many things - including the back of dh's expensive leather brogues, three steaks, three salmon steaks, a pound of defrosting bacon, poo (sheep, cow, horse and her own), 15 mince pies, two pairs of my shoes, and one boot, several wellies, five raspberry canes, two,apple tree saplings and a gooseberry bush - and that is just the edited highlights. Thankfully she doesn't eat phones or remotes or sofas.

Athendof · 18/10/2012 23:11

Just as a side note... my dog's trainer pointed out that bastard dog was behaving so destructively because she thought she was in charge so... to bring her back from her heights she asked us ever to let pass before us when crossing a doorway, never to feed her above us, and above all never ever ever allow her to sleep in our bed. It sorted the problem in a few days.

Now, its ages since this but if bastard dogs spends one single night in my bed... we are back to square one. Big time!

Mrsjay · 18/10/2012 23:42

Tip about getting smells of dogs I @ dead seal , anyway tomato ketchup on the coat rub in leave and wash off gets rid of any odours , apparently

new dog was eating fox shit last night and came in for a kiss when we got home ewwww ,

StateofConfusion · 18/10/2012 23:45

honey my LL would have plenty to say!
Little sod starting howling and whining the minute I went to bed! He's never done that for my Mum, or she's a liar.

longjane · 18/10/2012 23:57

mine yesterday ate the sliver tray that my lidi lasagna came in .
then quietly puked up all over my bed.
and I have no washing machine.

Narked · 19/10/2012 02:18

The worst is when they co-operate with DC. Opposable thumbs plus canine jaws is a lethal combination. Not that I have caught a toddler and dog sitting in the cupboard under the stairs sharing the kibble. Oh no.

TheCatInTheHairnet · 19/10/2012 02:23

The knicker thing drives me insane. I seem to be buying new knickers every two bloody seconds. There are only so many times I can walk around with huge holes in the gusset.

Which is something I didn't think I would ever say (pre dog!).

Thumbwitch · 19/10/2012 02:30

I know I shouldn't laugh but oh God I actually PMSL at Honey's first post on this thread. I mean, I know I've just had a baby and all but seriously - good job I'm still wearing maternity pads! Grin

And some of the others on here too - your dogs are all complete loons!

:( re. destroyed furniture that hasn't even been paid off though, I'd be pretty upset over that (and the glasses).

EmmaNemms · 19/10/2012 07:37

Our dog once found a full advent calendar under one if the DC's beds abs ate the entire thing, chocolate and wrappings. I know. He was shitting tin foil for a few days. He also likes to eat bird crap and the acicity makes his lips twitch like Elvis...

Abitwobblynow · 19/10/2012 07:43

Hi,

Providing you give your dog exercise twice a day and he has done all his dumps, you really can, and it isn't cruel, to buy a dog cage and put him in it whilst you are out.

They love their cages, it is 'their' space and they will voluntarily go in them when they are a bit stressed, tired, or want a bit of p&q.

theodorakis · 19/10/2012 07:46

Ask the wise DogHouse people, I bet they will help you. I have just pulled half a rug out of theopup's bumhole while he screamed the house down like a dog possessed.

MrsBungleBear · 19/10/2012 07:55

I came home from the hair dressers yesterday to find my idiot dog had managed to open the fridge (have just moved and its an under the counter one). The carnage of empty packets and boxes was all over the kitchen and living room floors Angry

He ate:

A whole loaf of gluten free bread
A massive gift box of about EIGHT blocks of cheese which included stilton, sage erupting, brie etc. 8, I am not kidding.
2 cream cakes (bastard. I was going to eat one when I got in)
Half a tin of beans.

He will steal anything he can get his jaws/paws on.

He is 5 and very well behaved in all other ways. He's just a greedy fucker.

MrsBungleBear · 19/10/2012 07:56

Sage erupting?! I've invented a new cheese. Sage stilton!

TantrumsAndBalloons · 19/10/2012 07:59

LittleDog ate the bathroom door. And destroyed 2 of his beds.

I now have a never ending supply of frozen kongs stuffed with..stuff. Lots of stuff. BigDog never chewed anything maybe because he was older when we rescued him and LittleDog was a rescue puppy and teething.

I swear I spend more money on dog chew toys and kongs etc than I do on my DCs toys!

FlaminNoraImPregnantPanda · 19/10/2012 08:23

My husband once brought home a new dog toy for the terrier. It's like a ferret but doesn't have any stuffing in it. The dog looked at him in utter disgust. What's the point in a cuddly toy that he doesn't get to disembowel?

Moominsarescary · 19/10/2012 08:26

Bloody hell

My dsis is bringing 20 week old fluffy puppy round for the weekend later.

He chews and still pees on the floor occasionally

What have I done! Dm is lucky, she gets to have 2.5 year old dn instead

GOLDENLiquidAngel · 19/10/2012 08:28

This thread is genius. I haven't laughed this hard in ages. Both my smalls are looking at me like I'm demented! Thread duly nominated for classics.

Onlyaphase · 19/10/2012 08:28

I found this link this morning - it is photos of dog confessions and very funny, especially after this thread. Worth a read here

theodorakis · 19/10/2012 08:28

I have just caught theopup gnawing on little girl dogs foot. I had forgotten how much I dislike the lanky teenager phase of pups, he is greedy, pushy and egotistical. Great Dane anyone? free to a good home!

dancinginthemoonlight · 19/10/2012 08:43

My dog has an unhealthy fixation with sanitary products. She likes to raid the bathroom bin and then shred any used ones :-\ not helped by the fact she has learned to work pedal and push button bins . She also walked downstairs with a tampon (new and unused) in her mouth string dangling out just as the midwife appeared for her first visit post birth....
