To think this is the most disgusting thing ever?

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.

I have a cast iron stomach and love gore/ disgusting things but even this thread is pushing my boundaries Envy < definitely not envy...

YellowLambBanana · 18/01/2017 22:52

One of my dogs is a regular roller... and never looks like the perfectly groomed white fluffy bichon I thought she would! Fox poo, horse poo, bird poo (??) are all favourites. A decomposed hedgehog was a bad one but the ultimate ultimate worst was when she rolled in another dogs diarrhoea on the way to meet some friends for a dog walk and - dare I say it - human poo down by the canal (which think was left by a fisherman or something as had tissue and baby wipes next to it...) Shock

I cried during the after walk bath of both of those. And she has never been off lead down by the canal since !!

I have a slug phobia, this thread is one of the worst ever Sad luckily a few have made me really laugh

Our yellow lab likes to eat socks. Then throw them up whole. Then eat them again.

You cannot imagine the stench of a sock that has been thrown up and re-ingested 10 times over the course of three days. He is very clever and will sneak off somewhere private to throw up, as soon as we hear him heaving we have to quickly dash over and wrestle him for the putrid sock Envy

notbankinonit · 18/01/2017 23:31

We had Lino in the bathroom when I was a child. If the dog got caught short in the night, he would always go to the bathroom to have diarrhoea. I trod in it in the dark more than once.
I also used to walk about in bare feet a lot as a teen, until I stood in a pile of cold dog shit where the car was parked. I can still recall the feeling of cold shit oozing between my toes.

Lumberries

I too support Eric For Super Cute President.

But in your second post with photo on this thread ( him some kind of tweed chasity belt arrangement ) he looks sooooooooooooo guilty.

What had he done? It has got to be bad. Look at his guilty little face.

WashBasketsAreUs · 18/01/2017 23:37

One of our dogs came in with something in her mouth. They'd been trained to spit things out when you put your hand under their mouth and command "leave ". Daughter did this, the dog spat out a half chewed cat turd into my daughter's hand, she screamed and dropped it, turd was skittering round the floor, other dogs thought ooh great, let's all join in so they were doing the wall of death race in the porch, chasing this turd round. ( dry cat poo whizzes over laminate flooring quite well) I was in the kitchen crying!

Jaxhog · 18/01/2017 23:51

Slugs are vile, But this isn't the worst case. A friend of mine once found a slug in her beer (picnic) and realised she'd had several drinks from the glass.

Our cats bring slow worms in. They're pretty revolting too.

Jaxhog · 19/01/2017 00:08

My cat left a dead rat in my shoe once, which I spotted before putting my shoe on. Then half a dead mouse in another shoe, which I didn't.

Over the years, we've had slugs, fish, frogs, mice, voles, rats, grey squirrels (really!), wood pidgeons, a hedgehog, slow worms, dragonflies, various species of bird, grass snakes and an adder. Apart from the adder which was dead, thank goodness, we've had both dead and alive versions. Some days it's like an abattoir. They haven't caught a fox, muncjac deer, pheasant or next door's ducks. Yet.

Lumberries · 19/01/2017 09:32

SantaClausMortificado I don't even know, but you're right it was probably dastardly. We're pretty confident that Eric has a potato where his brain should be, so whatever he did it was probably an accident!

lozengeoflove · 19/01/2017 09:45

lumberries pleeeeeeeeease can Eric have his own thread? I need more pictures and updates in my life. He is beyond adorable.

Also, sounds like he's starting his own clothing store in the back of your garden.

What's he doing now?

lozengeoflove · 19/01/2017 09:46

LEM i cried with laughter at your omission of word 'dog'. 60kg shitting mother ... Hilarious Grin

DontTouchTheMoustache · 19/01/2017 10:35

Lumberries I am now only checking MN for Eric updates. Please send more pictures and stories.

Deathraystare · 19/01/2017 10:41

Meet Eric.

In this photo, he's modelling a heady mix of rotting rabbit corpse, cow pat, unidentifiable green sludge and canal.

Eric the supermodel! Love it! Just glad he is not mine!

This thread is making me dread all the things the poodle could roll in. She hasn't rolled in anything bad yet but she does roll in stuff. Neither of my previous dogs ever rolled in anything ever. I never realised how great that was until now.

ZadokTheBeastie · 19/01/2017 10:59

I've got one!! OH my god, just remembering it makes me feel ill. Our dearly departed pointer was a dreadful bin-raiding, greedy old creature (he also looked a lot like Wayne Rooney, but thats' a different matter). We were out one day and he hared off into the woods and I saw him snuffling around eating something in the undergrowth - it was poo . . . another dog's poo I assume. His face was covered in it, totally disgusting. Anyway I got him back on the lead and on our way home he stopped dead as we were crossing in front of someone's driveway (the house-owner was just driving in and had stopped to let us pass) and puked the whole vomity, stinking, shitty lot back up AND I HAD TO CLEAN IT UP off the woman's driveway. She gave me a nappy sack and that was all I had other than a few used snotty tissues to try to bag a pile of stringy, mucousy stinking shit off the pavement.
I did not love that dog that day.

Lumberries · 19/01/2017 11:15

As requested he now has his own.

My stupid cat ate some tingsel and I had the "fabulous" job of having to pull a bit of it out of her bum hole on Christmas Eve.

Do I win?

Realjournal123 · 19/01/2017 17:28

My mother had to rinse our cocker spaniel in the sea having just rolled inside a dead seal. His lead got caught around her ankle and she was promptly dumped head first into the freezing North Sea on a January morning! She wasn't best pleased.

reiki73 · 19/01/2017 17:36

I feel quite sick reading this! And I'm cooking dinner!

Cab65 · 19/01/2017 17:42

I know the tomato passata or juice works on stinks. When I was in USA a skunk was always spraying the family dog you have to smell it to believe it and the dog could only be tolerated indoors after a tomato bath

Penn69 · 19/01/2017 17:43

I picked up a rolled up sock from under the bed.......it was actually cat poo

MumsGoneToYonderLand · 19/01/2017 17:48
  1. 9 mo DS is naked playing on a plastic sheet while we eat lunch, turn around to find he has pooed everywhere and is eating it.
  2. another time he pulled a desiccated cobweb coated woodlouse out of a hole and ate it. crunch!
  3. he put a spider in his mouth. Its legs were sticking out and moving while he tried to chew it.
  4. a boy at school had a trick - he would snort a maggot up his nose and bring it out of his mouth. Vile. And bile.
  5. i saw a video of a tooth extraction and there were maggots in the cavity! loads! google it. urgh.

Do I win?
