My very hairy dog sat on a previously stood on dead slug.

It was stuck in her leg fur and I had to remove it. I feel slightly sick now.

I think it was more disgusting than when she managed to get her own poo stuck in her armpit.

givemushypeasachance I was going to type the exact same thing about my cats Shock one fluffy cat, one not, and the fluffy is always coming back with slugs on him but they're so tiny I only find them later when he wants a cuddle Hmm they mostly end up on his side though whereas his tail is full of burrs I have to brush out...

I am quite lucky neither of my them have brought in any gross 'presents' yet, one collects twigs and the other, leaves think they're trying to build a nest and the other day they both ran in triumphantly with one of them holding a slice of bread Grin

In the 80s a friend of mine (thank God it wasn't me) was using one of those rubber hose spray attachments that you fit onto the taps, to wash her hair.

Except that there was a spider already inside. The pressure of the water forcing the spider out of the holes was apparently quite horrific.......

(I must've had a premonition about this as I always used to check ours!)

MiddleClassProblem - I did the same thing with a very large, hairy spider in another, very hot, country.

The tiles were dark; so was the spider. It, too, popped.

My entire foot was covered with squashed spider. Luckily I was right next to the shower and hopped my way into it.

I was both appalled and angry I had killed it accidentally, when they're usually so bloody fast.

MiddleClassProblem · 18/01/2017 14:57

Strictly I felt exactly the same. Orb spiders are meant to just hang out in the garden not be in my loo! Damn separate loo and bathroom layouts!

My dog ate human poo.

She's a beautiful golden retriever and we walk miles in the fields. One day, I saw her by a hedge gate. There's a little lane running alongside and she had her head down, wolfing something. Then, she rolled in it. "Oh no!" I thought. "Must be fox or badger shit". No such luck. When I ran over, she was marinating herself in human excrement. Apparently, delivery men, up and down the lane, stop there, when they're caught a bit short. There were baby wipes all over the grass (also just left on the ground, with the poo). She was partial to them too!

It took me the best part of a week to fully remove the aroma. I didn't bother washing her collar....just binned it.

I still love her very, very much though!

Lumberries.... Eric is the CUTEST !

wendywoopywoo222 · 18/01/2017 15:05

Watched my two Labradors rolling in the corner of a field, got to them to find they had been rolling and liberally coated themselves in human poop, then had a 4 mile car journey home with them in the boot .... do I win ?

Eliza22 · 18/01/2017 15:07

OP, forgot to mention. Slugs dry out overnight and drop off! I now brush my girl in the evening, after her last foray into the garden. That way, I don't find crispy, desiccated slug bodies in the utility, in the morning! Just a tip.

Eliza22 · 18/01/2017 15:08

Wendy you win! At least I could walk home and nose her down in the garden.

DesignedForLife · 18/01/2017 15:08

Not quite as bad as when my cat brought in a live mouse, which I caught by the tail, and the tail came off and the mouse scuttled off with just bones out of its bottom

Eliza22 · 18/01/2017 15:08

HOSE! Obviously, didn't want my NOSE anywhere near her Smile

DesignedForLife · 18/01/2017 15:09

Ah, no, Wendy wins!

alwaysthepessimist · 18/01/2017 15:11

Came back from holiday once, jet lagged, unpacked went to bed (as you do), woke up with a wet slimy feeling on my cheek, cat was so pleased I was back she had caught 3 mice, left one on my cheek & two on the pillow right next to my mouth.....

Eric 😍
Needs his own thread.
You don't have a photo of the saddle-bra, do you?

DontTouchTheMoustache · 18/01/2017 15:14

lumberries literally everything you tell me about Eric makes me love him more

Eliza22 · 18/01/2017 15:16

😺🐭🐭🐭

Eliza22 · 18/01/2017 15:19

Dingit I support you in your request for an Eric thread 😊

Lumberries · 18/01/2017 15:20

Dingit Sadly not, although he did run off down the garden a minute ago with said bra in his mouth.. he took my shoes down there this morning so i had to chase him down with bare feet.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 18/01/2017 15:34

Sadly discovers that even just looking at the posted pics isn't safe ...

Presumably Eric's sad expression is because of what happened? I mean, surely he can't always look that tragic??

Libbylove2015 · 18/01/2017 15:45

My dog (JRxSchnauzer) has never liked my dad, we don't know why - he's never been cruel to her or anything.

The other day he grabbed her from behind as she was about to go and bark her head off at the poor postman - and her anal glands exploded all over my dad. He was showered with brown, sticky fishy poo bum juice from face to chest. Lovely!

booklooker · 18/01/2017 16:12

My BiL once stood barefoot on a slug outside at a party of ours. He quickly moved off this slug only to find that he had then trodden on a dead sparrow!

luciole15 · 18/01/2017 16:41

Libby wins!

MiddleClassProblem · 18/01/2017 16:54

Lmao Libby

Putthatonyourneedles · 18/01/2017 17:04

Is Eric wearing a bow tie in the first picture? 😍

Our beagle loves to roll in fox poo.

Lumberries · 18/01/2017 17:17

Puzzledandpissedoff no no, he has 2 expressions: utterly devastated and completely bemused.

There's also this one. But we don't talk about it.
