I know I'm probably BU to start a thread inspired by HardLightHologram's thread but it's too well timed not to.

Last night my 9 month old pup busted out of the bedroom in the middle of the night and went on a rampage. Woke up at 6am to find a hole in one of the couch cushions, a cushion that was a wedding gift with all the stuffing torn out it, chewed woodwork at the top of the stairs and THREE(!) shits dotted about the place. Including one on the new hall carpet. And she ate a sponge that was left out in the bathroom Hmm

She's fine by the way, I was worried she'd eaten foam but she seems to have just trailed it around the whole fucking upstairs.

Fast forward 14 hours and I'm just about over it. Does anyone else have any stories of their pets being dicks to make me feel better about my own shit literally morning?

My cat, when I was out at work one day, decided he wanted to jump onto the thin narrow cabinet above my sink (he decided he liked it up there for some reason) however on this occasion he must've fallen off and landed awkwardly in the sink - simultaneously turning the tap on and pushing the plug in (it's one that is on a stick, not loose) cue me coming home and seeing water all over the outside of the flats - thinking hmm someone must've been cleaning....nope!! There was an inch in my bathroom plus the rest going down the over flow.

This was also about 2 months after I'd already flooded the flat below due to a leak under my bath that I didn't know about (they'd been on holiday for 2 weeks Shock)

Even worse is that now he still jumps up onto the cupboard but is scared to get down so meows until I come and fetch him - it's high up and he's not a small cat! I do leave the plug out of the sink now just in case.

Here is the culprit on his cupboard...

Soubriquet and what a darling little madam too - those big paws!

I don't have any domestic pets - but farm pets are dicks too.

Attending to my little lambs back in the summer - one of them was caught up in the brambles so whilst I was trying to free her the rest of the lambs came over and two were biting my arse, one was chewing on my hair, one kept belching repeatedly and had their face right into my face, one kept repeatedly standing on my feet (their toes HURT), one biting my fingers as I was trying to free the caught stuck lamb and the stuck lamb just would NOT keep still making everything ten times harder.

Then last week I was repairing the stable for the horses, I took a break and left the bag of nails on the inside. I then heard this bag of nails being dropped - one of the horses had managed to stick their head through one of the gaps in the wood, grab the bag, pull it outside and then empty it all over the damn floor and then tread them into the mud. Lots of cursing and sifting through mud for about an hour to make sure I'd picked every last nail up.

They destroy anything that's in reach of them - the hose pipe was peeking just under their door but they pulled it in and completely destroyed it, one managed to open their door and let one of the others out and just ran round the barn all night eating and shitting all over the hay and just having a right party.

Bastards the lot of them.

A now-ex was "going down" and MCat decided she wanted in on the action. She proceeded to wash his arse Blush

Sunnysky2016 · 13/12/2016 10:34

This this will so out me. We had a ridgeback at 7 months. First night dp had to sleep down stairs with him as he cried so much and could not get up out open staircase. Next day as I come home from work, walked up the path and the window looked 'wrong'. Then noticed when I left I had vertical blinds- now there were only two up. Go in, the blinds were over the living room floor and through to the dining room. The kitchen was horrendous! Chopping boards chewed, utensils chewed, bin over and rubbish everywhere (yes rookey mistake!), my brand new, unworn £170 boots chewed to bits, the back of the sofa pulled out and chewed, cushion stuffing everywhere, yet no dog!
Phones dp and asked when he'd picked the dog up? Replied he hadn't. This turned him to me shouting at him, him shouting at me that he wasn't lying he hadn't been home.
So I go to go into the bathroom and the door wouldn't open. Then I heard the whine and body shifting as said dog woke up from behind the bathroom door.
The bathroom is in chaos, shampoo bottles chewed and shampoo and bodywash everywhere. Toilet rolls chewed. Toilet brushed chewed and so on.
On the plus side he had lovely breath from the two tubes of toothpaste he had eaten.
But yes we kept home and he turned into the most gorgeous gentle boy ever. Sadly we lost him 3 years ago, and still pine for him. Now we have a house rabbit and tortoise instead!

PromisesPromises · 13/12/2016 10:44

Not my current dog, but the one we had when we were little proceeded to chew all our Christmas presents on Christmas eve. I have the memory burned on my brain of coming down all excited on christmas morning to find wrapping paper all over the place and toys and books covered in slobber and adorned with puppy teeth marks Grin

Shiftymake · 13/12/2016 10:57

I woke up one night nose to nose to a new born kitten, my cat decided that my bed was the maternity ward, managed to get her, her remaining bump and kitten into the birthing box before the rest (3) came. :P

Same cat was very angry one day, jumped onto the bed- eye contact!- and pissed on the bed. Piss on you- angry, only that one time though and she had good reason to be angry I guess, moved to a place she didn't like, we moved shortly after that as it was a in-between station for exchange of houses.

Getting up in the morning to find "gifts" under my foot as I got out of bed.

Then there is the dog who loves new electronics, she ignored everything else, it had to be new electronics. Very expensive chew toys.

The other dogs favorite chew was sofas, had to get cheap and nasty as they didn't last long.

SaagMasala · 13/12/2016 11:10

On the whole I got immune to some of the worst dickery, and tended to cat-proof anything I didn't want utterly ruined. I've lost count of that dreadful feeling underfoot when you step in something cold wet and squishy; sacrificial offerings, especially those still alive; the new sofa quickly becoming covered in a fetching fabric resembling moth-eaten shag pile; and the well-timed aroma of smellier-than-usual cat poo filtering through the house at meal times or whenever there were visitors.

I did used to have a few ornaments dotted around. My cats back then were used to them & could weave elegantly round anything placed on the windowsills. The new kid on the block, PoshCatFromHell, was small and slender and had a really mean streak. One day I saw her, standing next to a small vase, glaring at me. She then slowly and deliberately pushed it off the windowsill, all the while fixing me with her evil green eyes. After that, anything I wanted to keep got moved into a display cabinet.

BigGingerJobbie managed to hook a chop from under the grill while it was cooking.

One episode really takes the biscuit. I used to have an electric cooker that was usually left switched on at the mains so the clock was correct.
Very early one morning I was awaken, probably by my sixth sense working overtime. Strangely, there were no cats in the bed. I was vaguely aware of a strange smell, so went downstairs to investigate. One of the rings on the cooker had been switched on, I assume by someone brushing against the switch, and three of them were sitting on top of it, obviously grateful for this novel heat source! Fortunately it was only on low, or I might have had the sweet aroma of burnt fur wafting up to disturb my dreams.
What scared me though, was that I kept a chip pan full of oil permanently on top of the cooker. I still shudder at the thought of THAT ring being turned on. After that night, I always switched it off at the mains.

The next night though, they must have tried it again. and I came down to find the chip pan on the floor and the entire kitchen, and three cats, swimming in oil. Plus greasy footprints all over the house and my bedding. It took me all day to clean it up and bathe three very spiky cats.

Lemon grin The fact he's now your DH shows what a good bloke he is grin

Tbf we have had Siamese all of my life - they are permanently being dicks grin

my Siamese stole my porridge this morning =p

ZacharyQuack · 13/12/2016 11:22

As a kitten, jumped in the empty bath while DH was shaving. He was watching her and admiring her cuteness, then she shat in the bath. DH panicked and shouted at her, which caused her to panic and run around in the bath, through the crap, skidded in it, covered her little furry shelf in kittenpoo. Then DH had to clean shitty wee kitten and shitty bath because it was all his fault.

Last night she barfed under the christmas tree.

Bouncearound · 13/12/2016 11:34

Our lurcher got into a (supposedly closed) room with a plastic bag full of wrapped Christmas presents and identified the one with a box of miniature heroes in it. She then opened it and hid every single chocolate throughout the house... we were finding them in random places for days, including inside shoes, behind cushion, inside school bags, in the bath, on top of the the cabinet and in her bed. I had another unopened box that I then counted and eventually worked out that she hadn't actually eaten any, just hidden them!

Same dog also got through a (supposedly closed) door and ate nineteen chocolate crisp or cakes for the school fair. We then had to take her to the vet to induce vomiting so I basically paid £85 to stand in the vet car park catching dog sick for 20 minutes. That was a dick move.

MrsMattBomer · 13/12/2016 11:40

This is amazing, I love these stories!

harderandharder2breathe · 13/12/2016 11:52

DDog and I stayed with s friend and her dog. DDog kept jumping on friends dog (DDog is tiny, other dog a lab) and she would gently push him down over and over and over. This was early hours of the morning so I remove DDog so we can all get some sleep. Friend dog comes looking for him. So I give up and let him annoy her since she complains when he stops. None of us got to sleep til about 4am then someone else in the house dared to get up st 6 and DDog went into attsck mode.

Friends dog also stands and barks crossly st anyone who puts on shoes and coats. Even if it's to take her for a walk

DDog can fake a limp like a pro

SisterMortificado · 13/12/2016 11:56

When I'm busy working at my desk, studiously not paying attention to SisterCat, she sits up next to me, all delicate paws and innocent eyes.

Then she starts shunting things off the desk. First a pen, then a rubber, an ink pot, the computer mouse, etc etc. She shunts them off faster than I can pick them up.
Once she has beaten me at this game, she climbs the bookcase and shunts books off the top shelf.

Then, as I extract her, she uses all her tiny, razor-sharp claws and teeth to express her deep displeasure.

Also, she has a death-stare for the ages.

Forgot to add- SisterCat needs to be carried. A lot. Always.
In the morning, I make breakfast, brew tea and shout about putting shoes on while holding said small, bitey cat like a baby on my hip.

She won't talk to DP though. If he's doing the morning bizzo she just sits in the kitchen and glares until she is fed then goes to stare at BrotherCat until he cries.

Doesn't touch him. Just stares her angry death-stare.

Years ago I adopted a pit-bull terrier/lab X. I also had 2 rescue budgies, allowed free reign of the house, except at night time when they'd go into their cage of their own accord. One day, dopey dog leaps in the air, and catches one of the budgies in mid flight. When I eventually prised his mouth open, bird there, squawking, completely intact - but covered in doggy drool.

Same dog opened a cupboard, extracted a large Milky Bar, took it upstairs, and ate it on my bed. The wrapping was completely intact, as if a human had opened it!

Cats - eldest bringing a partridge in, and having to chase this long legged, fast running bird around the bedroom, half asleep. Oh, and the bacon thief dog reminded me of when there was a ham sandwich sitting on the coffee table. He casually walked past, flipped off the top slice of bread, and skillfully hooked out the ham. Did the same to a piece of chicken on my plate, that I hadn't quite decided I was going to finish. He made the decision for me.

Youngest cat, on arriving home I hear what sounds like a child screaming. He was following a frog down the stairs and patting it gently to make it leap and scream. Then the frog screamed at me, while I was trying to catch it.

The worst though, was when I stayed over at a friend's, and her dog ate half my sandal. I had to go home shoeless. I bloody loved those sandles as well.

My dogs are bloody awful in the car. Dog 1 was fine when she was younger but then we got Dog 2 and now she sets Dog 1 off. They howl. They scratch. They bite the dash/centre console thing/gear stick. They scrabble at the windows and then when you open it a little for air they shove their noses out and howl. People on the street turn to look at the car as it passes, I swear it probably sounds like we've stolen them. Absolutely awful. You get out of the car at the other end covered in scratches and completely exhausted from trying to keep them still. The worst part is they're fine with other people!! When we go on holiday and the dog sitter comes to pick them up they're completely fine in her car, happy as Larry. Little sods

DontTouchTheMoustache · 13/12/2016 12:26

My dog is an absolute Dick and it's hard to pick from.the extremely long list of Dick moves. The most infuriating was last Christmas when I was 8 months pregnant he waited until he had the house to himself before eating the sofa. Ripped 2 full sofas to pieces. There was leather and foam everywhere. We naturally went mental, and started looking for new sofas. Managed to find 2 leather sofas on Gumtree at a reasonable price but when they arrived couldn't get them into the house so off came the door frames on the back door and the kitchen and after 5 hours we got them in. 3 days later I went out for 2 hours to do some Xmas shopping, came home and...you guessed it....2 fully eaten sofas. I sat on the floor and cried. He now.wears a muzzle.when he is home alone.
We have since moved house and in the new place he can open all the doors so every day at 2am he escapes the living room and creeps into bed with me.

Our female beardie is a greedy little fuck and she was out of her viv one day having a mooch, I decided to give her a treat of a couple of mario worms little sod got that excited she literally jumped at me and bit me while trying to get at the mario's. She's also shat on me many a time and complete trashes her viv after I've cleaned and tidied it. Dick! It's a bloody good job she's pretty.
Our male beardie is much more chilled out luckily.
The snake bites me regularly, I swear she hates me. She's fine with the DD's and DH it's just me who cleans feeds and waters her that she hates!

When our dogs were still alive one of them would absolutely never in a million years go out to the toilet if it was in any way cold, wet, damp etc and would squat in front of the back door and look me in the eye while shitting. Dick! This was also the dog that drank about half a pint of Guinness that I had poured for myself and put down on the fire hearth while I was getting sorted out!
