... to lock the dog in the shed for a week...

[BeyondThePage]

just that really,

he just "found" an egg in the garden - a brown hen's egg - I guess a fox had buried it? Trouble is I am not entirely sure which YEAR the fox buried it in...

OMG - the stench, he cracked it 25 foot from the back door and we can smell it through the house. He is not coming in, I have hosed down the goopy stuff, and the dog. He stinks of sulfurous rotten eggs, DD is running a bath for him, but he needs to go through the house to get to it....

Any tips on getting rid of the smell would be welcomed... if not WIBU to shove him in the shed?! (kind of light-hearted in an OMG I can't believe he smells so bad kind of way )

Oh bless him.

I know, but it is definitely a hen's egg- it has the lion mark on it and everything

That fox has been in your fridge!

OP, YABVVVVVVVU to accuse the cute lil pupster of any crime. Butter won't melt!

What's the betting he stole it from your fridge OP and buried it himself with the intention of digging it up at some future date i.e. today.

This thread has had me snorting with laughter from orange dogs to naked shaving to foxes trying to grow egg trees to caught in the act squirrels

@fromage you need to watch the mighty boosh episode about the crack fox.

He smells of toothpaste, head and shoulders and shit.

Can definitely see this burying eggs in some sort of world over taking manoeuvre

Log with 101 and get a photofit of the Fox op. Did he look like this?

you just need naked flame to get rid of the smell. Although I would have all windows open and a fan on to circulate the air. Make sure the remains are all removed somewhere contained (ie several bags and in main bin). I too would be containing and hosing down outside before contemplating inside

gingergenius - haha - Swiper ... nooooooo swiping!!! And leave your bloomin' eggs elsewhere please!!

pigsDOfly - nah - he is as thick as a thick thing on thick day in thick town, his bag of dog food is on the floor in the kitchen held closed by a peg and he hasn't worked that out in 8 years.

and I'm afraid cute does not cut it in this house, cute just does not smell like that!

Brilliant thread, and cute guilty looking dog!

I know I'm a cat person .. but do people bath dogs in their own baths ?? I thought you bathed them outside ?

With us it is always big dogs outside bath, little ones inside bath, he counts as a little one...

mainly to do with my back holding out...

Bath with tea tree oil shampoo. It will sanitize him and also smells very strong (and slightly better than rotten eggs...🙈😂)

I had no idea wildlife had taken to gardening. I've clearly led a very sheltered life. What else don't I know. Do dolphins do DIY and do elephants like to knit?

@Fromage, yes, yes they do.

And llamas are absolutely FABULOUS at batik.

Ha ha! The little bugger.

My honking rotten dog rolled in raw sewage a few weeks ago (don't ask). She was soaked in ketchup (although passatta also works), then rinsed. Then soaked in white wine vinegar, then rinsed. Then washed in strawberry shampoo.

She didn't look at me for rest of the day!

Photo is from after ANOTHER rolling session.

@SilverHairedCat oh wow, your doggie is NOT impressed looking very cosy though!

Yep, that is one seriously pissed off doggy.

@FuckKnuckle, now THAT is what I call a drama llama!

OP, when I was repainting my red front door last year, my white cat decided to run into it. She had a pink tinge for a week or so afterwards and I had to pick cat hair out of the fresh paint with a tweezers.

SilverHairedCat - that is a serious look of disdain there.

my so called "cute" dog is now the producer of extremely noxious gases - alert the neighbourhood - evacuation may be necessary!

Scented candles may be an explosion risk so he has been banished to the garden again... once more he is not happy...

My dogs can do farts that would be banned under many NATO and UN treaties - even if they haven’t eaten anything they shouldn’t!

They wander in, all innocent-like, let of a silent-but-deadly, grin, wag their tails, for maximum dispersal, and wander out again.

It is as well I love them.

well the night has passed without any "repercussions", so hopefully that is the end of the saga. There is still a very low level bad-eggy whiff about, but so long as it does not linger on my work clothes I'll be ok.

DS2 nice helped me dig out the compost heap and distribute it. We found uncracked eggs in there and he want d to break them. Being a Good Mother, I let him do it right at the end of the garden when I wasn’t there. Rank. Utterly rank.

Then SoupDogg rolled in them.

In his case, a very thorough shampooing sorted it out, no need for ketchup!

nah - he is as thick as a thick thing on thick day in thick town, his bag of dog food is on the floor in the kitchen held closed by a peg and he hasn't worked that out in 8 years

Bloody hell, that wouldn't last 5 minutes in my house.

I keep a few gravy bones in a pocket in my handbag, for occasions when the dog needs bribing/rewarding.

I left my handbag on the living room floor last night. When I came down this morning, DDog had flipped the flap open, removed 3 biros and a lipstick, and was in the process of getting the gravy bones out and putting them on the carpet, ready to eat.

She clearly thinks the little dog on the tag of the bag means that she's entitled to help herself to stuff in it.

Hahaha! My first lakie was like that. We used to joke that the UN weapons inspectors would be round to see what biological weapons we were making. He also used to do ones that smelt like burning hair, as though they'd set fire to the fur on his arse on the way through.

We switched him to a working dog food that has a lower protein content, and his mass destruction farts stopped after that.
