Deer leg in garden

I get my dogs deer legs to chew on (complete with hooves and hair). As it’s been hot my dog has been off her food and I gave her a deer leg on Friday to chew on. She carried it around the garden then tried to bury it in DH veg pots so I told her off. She then carried it to the back of the garden and pushed it through a small hole in the fence landing in next doors garden. They were sitting out in the garden at the time and the woman screamed and ran inside and her husband just said “what the fuck is that?!” I went over to the fence and apologised and explained it was the dog. He asked me where I got it from and if I make a habit of killing and chopping up animals!! I explained they are bought from the pet shop. He apologised but added “it’s disgusting though, the wife is in a right state”. I asked him if we could have it back and he refused to touch it so I had to go around to their house and get it myself (they don’t live next door, they live down the street but their garden backs onto ours.

I retrieved it and told DH that dog was to have no more until she got her appetite back.

Well she’s only gone and done the same thing with a big fucking black fury cows ear that DH gave her. They’re going to go ballistic when they see it.

AIBU to insist that DH goes for it this time?

You are most definitely being unreasonable!! I would be so upset if I found that in my garden. How utterly disrespectful.

Fuck it.
Just order the Jeffrey Dahmer meat box and be done with it, OP. keeps well in the freezer, I've heard.
The best comment on this ENTIRE thread is 'Oh deer'. Grin

Crockodoodle · 28/06/2020 18:16

Oh my! I didn't read this thread coz I thought you were some relocated townie who was shocked a fox brought a deer leg into the garden. The fact that you furnished dog with Bambi legs is just brilliant and that your dog posted them next door is another level. Very impressed with photos to prove its real. Waste not want not, now to get my Bambi burger on the BBQ.

My dogs love rabbit ears. I haven’t actually got them in a while. Must add them to my list of things to buy.

I don’t like giving them pigs ears anymore cos they take too long to eat them and then end up squabbling over whoever has some left.

Rabbit ears go down a lot quicker

@onefinalquestion you are joking aren't you? 🤣🤣🤣

Runbitchrun · 28/06/2020 18:22

😂 at all the pearl clutching on this thread. I have a raw fed dog too, and although I’ve never given him a deer leg, I don’t know what peoples problem is. The whole animal is being utilised, surely that’s better than waste?

Candyapple49 · 28/06/2020 18:25

I’m sitting here laughing my head off ... brilliant ! 😂😂😂😂

Cherrytangfastic · 28/06/2020 18:27

Just wait until people find out about beaver castoreum and strawberry ice cream!

Beaver butt sack ice cream..Wink

Although I don't THINK it's still used to the same extent these days..

MinecraftMother · 28/06/2020 18:30

@rosiejaune

Our (vegan) dog gets raw carrots and broccoli as snacks instead. I doubt the neighbours would have been upset by those...
😂
Soubriquet · 28/06/2020 18:31

I thought beaver was vanilla?

Cherrytangfastic · 28/06/2020 18:32

Yeah it might be vanilla. I don't actually trade in it Wink

Persiaclementine · 28/06/2020 18:33

I think it's great your feeding your dog those, much better than the dental sticks ect.

nogreenfinger · 28/06/2020 18:33

Imaging the OPs dog 🤣🤣

Deer leg in garden
BadAlice · 28/06/2020 18:35

Haven’t read all the responses (so I’ll just imagine the horrified posts) but the op is hilarious! Can only assume the neighbours are strict vegans?

winterchills · 28/06/2020 18:35

I would be absolutely livid if that was in my garden and I saw it. Even more so if my children saw it. Obviously it was an accident but it still is not nice. You need to fix it before it happens again.

LST · 28/06/2020 18:35

Mmm yeah beaver bum juice and crushed up beetles. That's all ok though 🤣🙈

nogreenfinger · 28/06/2020 18:37

I'm a city girl but if I found a deer leg in my garden my first thought would have been satanic ritual or serial killer. Everydays a school day!

winterchills · 28/06/2020 18:37

@Pawsforthought25 how is any of our reactions being sensitive? People have different beliefs etc. I wouldn't want my children to see it either as it would really upset them.

Do your children eat meat?

Does that mean they never see a chicken in the shop?

Or how about a fish?

MotherAbigail · 28/06/2020 18:38

Sorry, this did make me laugh. Our dogs have hairy treats like this and our house ends up looking looks the scene of a zombie movie. It is pretty gross when you’re not used to it, but I do think the neighbours are overreacting a bit. Natural treats like this are really good (ours are also raw fed). Best block the hole!

Gulabjamoon · 28/06/2020 18:41

They were muppets. I would have bagged it up and thrown it back over.

Zeroenergy · 28/06/2020 18:41

I’m sorry but this made me laugh out loud! The best thread I’ve seen in a while

MinecraftMother · 28/06/2020 18:42

If you walked past our house on any given Sunday you'll hear "Pip, fancy some trachea?!".

We use animal parts too as treats for our girl. They did come from wolves, you know...

Singlebutmarried · 28/06/2020 18:46

Beaver bum juice?

I don’t want to google it cos think of the ads that will pop up after.

janj2301 · 28/06/2020 18:48

I've had some awful stuff left in my garden by cats and foxes, I've cleaned up, put it in the bin and disinfected where necessary and I live in London. Think your neighbours are odd getting so upset
