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?

Our local park is huge and has many trees planted with brass plaques acknowledging the passing of loved ones. One of the trees is for a young schoolgirl who was murdered in the park a few years ago. As its almost Chritmas her family have added extra items, two of them are wicker owls that you can place a plant in.
When walking my dogs last week I turned around and one of the dogs was having a massive poop right on top of one wicker owl, I needed up hitting the steaming great poops with a stick. Passers by thought I was insane, really the dog had a two mile area to poop in and he does it on a schoolgirls memorial.

Gingercat used to get up on the highest shelves and knock everything on the floor. If you shouted at him to stop, he would pause, look you straight in the eye, and bat whatever object was closest towards your head Grin

Tabbycat would get in the shower with you. Not a dick move in itself, but she did once get in with me (shower over bath) and do her business in the tub.

Blackkitten - on her first night, she got behind the washing machine and couldn't get out again, so DP had to take apart the entire kitchen unit to rescue her. He pulled her out and she looked him square in the face and peed on him.

After reading this thread I realise my cat is not as much as a dick as I thought! Just the insistence that my feet are enemies that must be attacked.

And yesterday, when I was on the armchair with my supper on a plate in my lap, that was the moment my cat decided to jump in my lap - landed right in my food, freaked out and jumped off.

I was really hungry so I still ate it.

dickdog goes into the garden when it's raining in order to look wet and pathetic...knowing that i will immediately feel sorry for him and give him a chewy. (treat) then he stinks the house out with wet dog smell.

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 13/12/2016 12:53

Oh and one of my parents' Siamese cats regularly goes next door, wanders into their kitchen and eats their cats' food and any human food he can find - luckily the neighbours think he's hilarious BlushGrin

Broken11Girl · 13/12/2016 13:09

She also 'hides' under furniture when she fancies treats. This is because when I first got her, if she got scared and hid I would tempt her out with treats. There was one particular incident with a neighbour's dog. So she worked out that hiding means treats. She looks at me and trots off to hide then gives me big sad eyes. I know she's not really upset, but what if she is? I always give in.
Cats are dicks.

SquedgieBeckenheim · 13/12/2016 13:26

Our lovely rescue dog is a real scavenger.
When he was a you dog now an arthritic old man he would jump onto worktops to steal food. Our fridge is child locked to stop him raiding it. Our bin and his dog food have to be kept in a bolted cupboard as there isn't a bin design he cant get round. He has multiple food intolerance, but just doesn't care!
He has, on more than one occasion, assisted in potty training clear ups. That was gross...
Other than his general dislike of the rest of the canine population, his only misdemeanors are food related though.

Childhood stories:
My mum bought a chicken from the hot counter. Took it home mad left it on the side as usual. Came back later to find the bag on the floor, completely empty and licked clean - not a scrap of meat or bone anywhere - one very guilty looking dog and 3 very satisfied looking cats sitting around the empty bag.

IndiaCat always used to bring me presents. Half alive ones were her speciality. I used to have to chase her around the room to get hold of them and then would spend days trying to nurse them back to health. Buried more than I like to remember.

Family woken up very early one morning by a lot of noise. Mum and I go to investigate and see that SamCat and IndiaCat have dragged a live fucking crow in through the cat flap. Poor thing was so scared and confused. Took over an hour for us to get brave enough to go near it hold of it, check it over and let it go. Dick cats just sat on the stairs and watched in silence.

Mum got up another morning to see what the noise was, and tripped over something as she walked into the kitchen. Turned the light on to find a massive rat lovingly left lying in the middle of the doorway.

More recent stories:
Bring lovely calm rescue JessDog home for the first time. Introduce her to lovely IndiaCat. All is good, until IndiaCat jumps down. JessDog gets excited and chases her upstairs. Rush upstairs to find dog on the bed and cat on top of the curtain pole. Kick (not literally) dog out of the room, eventually coax poor shaking cat down and discover a chunk of flesh hanging off her back leg. Expensive vet trip to clean her up and sew it back on. She never forgave dog and would hiss and swipe at her if she dared to get too close to her back end.

Moved into a new flat. Unloaded all the boxes, took JessDog up to show her around, and show her where the back door is. Summer time so just left the door open. Very good JessDog went outside for a sniff and a wee, came back up the stairs, walked straight to the middle of the living room floor and had an enormous shit on the carpet, turned around to admire it then waltzed off to bed and went to sleep.

I was making two 2-tiered cakes for a joint birthday party. Left the 4 tiers on the side to cool and went to watch TV for a bit do some more chores. Came back into the kitchen less than half an hour later to find WoodyDog sized chocolate cake paw prints on the counter, lots of crumbs, and WoodyDog and JessDog licking the floor, wagging their tails.

Used to have a lovely memory foam mattress. WoodyDog loved it so much he would dig holes in it for him to sleep in Hmm

Came home from work one day and can't find JessDog. Look in every room, check outside, call her name a million times, shake treat tub etc etc. Rang now ex boyfriend to see if he had checked she was definitely in when he left - she was. Panicked even more, went out hunting for her, circling back to the house all the time to check she wasn't waiting outside, rang all the local vets etc etc. At least 3 hours of hunting later, I had given up (black dogs are hard to spot at night), so went home and just left the front and back doors open in case she came home. I was devastated and cried so much. Sat on the bed to get changed and the daft little shit stood up under the covers, came out, shook, stretched and went outside for a wee.
She had never, to my knowledge, gone under the covers before, but had somehow managed to get underneath so carefully and lay so flat that the bed was still perfectly made and there wasn't a lump anywhere. The top of the quilt was still tucked underneath the pillows ffs. It became the first place we would look if we didn't know where she was, and she was frequently sat on while practicing her ninja stealth skills.

WoodyDog always used to pee on JessieDog (different to JessDog). She would often come in more yellow than white. Both were to blame. WoodyDog wouldn't wait for her to finish having a wee or poo before scenting the area, and JessieDog would walk over to sniff where WoodyDog was to see why he was peeing there and would stick her face right in the pee stream Confused

JessieDog likes to chew pants. If DH and I are having sexy time, we have to make sure pants are put in the wash or temporarily hidden in a drawer to stop her getting them Blush
Pants also cannot be dried on the airer or radiators, or they will be stolen and converted into crotchless ones. She's even torn through the plastic packaging of a brand new set of pants. I don't know how she knows what they are but she doesn't do it to anything else

Here are my 3, although Trixie cat is a little angel and not at all a dick

GettingitwrongHauntingatnight · 13/12/2016 13:41

My puppy has chewed hes in the sofa, keeps grabbing and running away with the tinsel, chewed up skirting boards and door gate, grabs and pulls my long dresses, chews my boots, slippers, toys, every thing. We still love him, little arsehole.Grin

Op why don't you keep the dog in your kitchen?

idontlikealdi · 13/12/2016 13:41

Many, many more than my children have ever made.

  • Jumping on my lap into, literally into, a bowl of spag bol
  • Snaffling a spanish chorizo sausage I brought back from Spain - big one, half the size of him. He ate the whole thing and was in a food coma for a week and exceptionally thirsty.
  • Jumping into the river one December when it was very very full. Usually come up to his tummy, DH had to jump in and rescue him and it came up to his waist. He was not impressed.
  • Eating dope. Picked it up on a walk in an alleyway. Spent 48 hours in the vets on drips and having diazepam.
  • Running into the patio doors when he sees a squirrel. For an intelligent dog you'd think he would learn how this ends up.
  • Stealing the chimney from DDs gingerbread house that she had loving crafted. That did not go down well.
GettingitwrongHauntingatnight · 13/12/2016 13:43

Oh and he chases our cats, one is quite tolerent the other goes into full on hissing vampre mode, the dopey fool is going to get battered by the cat one day.Hmm

PittstopPenelope · 13/12/2016 13:44

Eternal, my boy howls and squeals constantly in the car. Get some very HmmConfusedShock looks from people.

He also goes nuts at people walking past the house, as a PP said about their DDog.

Thought of another one. I was cleaning out the geckos and put them in the plastic bin they always go in during cleaning time. PeepGecko decided she didn't want to sit still so climbed out. I got hold of her, but she leaped onto the curtains, climbed all the way up to the ceiling and sat there mocking me. I couldn't leave the room in case she moved and I lost her, so I had to ring my mum to come and bring me a chair so I could reach

NameSux · 13/12/2016 13:54

Lilbastard (yes that's the cats name)- Waited til I steam moped the floors before jumping up the chimey, steals raw eggs to play with, let a panic Robin shit on my pillow as I tried to open the window and free him & brings home strays friends then asks me to get rid of them after 3 days.
Stoner cat!- eats thru paper bags, tried to jump in one that had hardback books and concussed himself. Also bounced off glass door chasing laser.
Mafia cat- ruled with an iron fist. All males bowed before her. She'd bat the younger cats across the room when they wanted a mammy (she wasn't theirs) & used to sit on the high wall above the neighbours alsation purring as he went nuts trying to get her. I love cats

My parents have an African Grey Parrott. He's a prolific talker.
The first time I met him, he started a chain of events that meant I ended up needing an ambulance and an AE visit.
He used to belong to a man that had emphysema and had a distinct Northern accent. My parents were his new owners.
I went to the cage and said hello to him and he responded by mimicking a bloke farting and then he starting coughing. I immediately started laughing and couldn't stop , this starts me off coughing, the parrot coughs and farts more, I am now in hysterics laughing, coughing and trying to breathe. I ended up having a chronic asthma attack and having to go to hospital.. The parrot's last words to me as I am being carted out the door - "You all right love?"
The parrot now coughs at me evrytime he sees me , the little sod.

DDog1 pulls the back sofa cushions down when we go out and digs in them to make them more comfortable for his royal arse. As a result both back cushions on our lovely, expensive leather sofa now have huge holes in the back that I've given up trying to repair. It was like coming home to a blizzard every day, wads of stuffing everywhere. We now remove the cushions when we go out and put them in the cupboard under the stairs, because we couldn't even contemplate banning his royal highness from the living room 😂

He also shredded my then boyfriend's passport when he was about 7 months old... 6 days before we were due to go skiing. Cue mad dash to the passport office.

DDog2 pissed on my bed when she was about 8 months old - twice! Duvet had to be binned both times. Luckily I had mattress protectors and managed to whip them off both times before it soaked through to the mattress itself.

There's loads more but some of it would probably out me. Suffice to say it's just as well I adore them as much as I do. They're actually brilliant dogs, most of the time!

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 13/12/2016 14:12

Ooh another one - my parents took one of the meezers to the vet. Vet turns round to put something on the computer so cat wanders over to see what he's doing. Huge tub of treats with no lid on next to the computer. Cat sticks his head in, Hoovers up a load (Siamese are dirty eaters aren't known for their finesse), vet picks cat up but by then he's swallowed the mouthful and has gone in for another Grin

FairyDogMother11 · 13/12/2016 14:16

My dog had eaten numerous pairs of my shoes; all expensive ones including my work ones the day I went back to work after two weeks off. I have only got three wearable pairs now. He's had my nice nude patent ones, my go to party shoes and my favourite flats. Good job he's cute!

HermioneJeanGranger · 13/12/2016 14:18

I've just remembered some more about Blackkitten.

Everyday, we come downstairs and if DP comes down first, she divebombs his ankles from the sofa. If I come down, she's very sweet and meows at and has even been known to put her paws around me for a cuddle.

One day, DP was at work and he sent his apprentice to the house to get some tools he'd left behind in the living room. Apprentice is similar height to DP and wears similarly messy work clothes. BK obviously thought apprentice was DP and suitably divebombed his ankles from the sofa. As soon as apprentice opened his mouth to shout, she realised he wasn't DP, stopped immediately and pawed him for a cuddle Grin

She doesn't like DP much!
