Deer leg in garden

[SquishyBones]

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?

I want a photo of the cow ear.

I thought beaver excretions are used in industries? I won't google as work laptop.

I’m with Zeroenergy Thought this the best post I’ve read in ages! I was imagining a big meaty hind leg though, so thanks for the picture! 😂

Beaver juice use to be used in vanilla flavourings and perfumes

It’s not used so much now though

Good god. Until today I'd have thought I was in The Godfather if I found a deer leg in my back garden. I've never heard of this before.

Ah thanks Soubriquet. Good news for beavers!

I'd been annoyed too

I don't care what you give your dog. I don't care what you to anyone else eats

I don't want to find animal body parts in my garden

Genuinely amazed at those that think this is "hilarious". Those long lockdown nights must just
fly by in your houses if this is what makes you or "hubby" laugh your heads off

I thought at first you had a dog like my friend Kate's Macaulay (now sadly departed) who had an unerring nose for parts of long-dead animals...

Next time send them next door with a Billy stick, that'll just about finish them off

They're gonna start thinking they live next to the mob and you're 'sending a message'
Personally i think after the shock I'd find it hilarious

I love this thread, so funny.

It reminds me of the time my BIL was having problems with his neighbour's dogs constantly coming through a hole in the boundary fence (owned by the neighbour) and crapping in his garden.

BIL isn't one for confrontation but he got his sweet revenge by one day leaving a couple of deer legs out in the garden. Neighbour's dogs of course dragged them back into their own garden and were later seen lying on the lawn chewing happily.

The hole got fixed pretty quickly after that

Love the table!😆

Vaguely remember that Badger thread from years ago, it was hilarious

We end up with animal parts in our garden from time to time. They are dropped by the eagles and hawks that live in our region. It is horrifying to find, but part of nature. I’ve developed a sort of love for the raptors. They really are fierce creatures.

I would be furious if a neighbor was contributing to the carnage we already deal with.

What a hilarious thread and that photo of the legs had me howling . Some posters on here are very precious! Dogs are carnivores! Although I'm sure your neighbours wouldn't appreciate it, I think your DDog sounds great, humour right up my street and I'm intrigued to know what other left over body parts they can shove through . Thanks for the laugh OP.

I think your neighbour is over reacting massively although to be fair I wouldn't be thrilled to see a leg in my garden. Just block up the hole properly and apologise again.

I don't understand how it can be traumatising to see a bit of dead animal especially if you eat meat. I have a cat though, I've raw fed in the past and wouldn't have been averse to getting chicks if they would have been eaten. I'm always finding dead mice and half eaten birds in the garden or the house, its not pleasant but it's what happens when a cat is allowed free roam outdoors. She's not the kind of cat that can be kept in but I would prefer an indoor cat with only access to my garden in the future so that I didn't have to deal with the dead things or worse, live mice that are a total pain to catch so I'm living in fear of them chewing my things!

I think you should have some empathy ear. I knew that dogs chewed on bones but had NO CLUE about deer legs and ears and if one appeared in my garden I would be fucking freaked out. Most people don't know about raw feeding so it's understandable that they reacted in this way. It might be normal to you but it IS odd to the uninitiated.

Get the hole blocked up pronto.

😂 unintentional typo.

Christ what a wimp

Some people have no idea where their meat comes from (hopefully she’s vegan) haha!

I used to have a snake that I would alternate between mice fluffs, rat pinky’s and chicks.

If he didn’t want to eat them, I would feed them to the cat. Outdoors of course.

She loves to eat a chick

yabu
not because of the deer leg (though I'm about raw feeding) but because you haven't secured your garden properly.

Oh all the people saying is never give my dog that but feed their dog dogfood n treats you are probably feeding your dogs the exact same thing just with loads of additives just cos it doesn’t look like an animal doesn’t mean an animal hasn’t died to feed your dog, go round with flowers apologise retrieve your pigs ear block up the whole and promise it will never happen again as u have now blocked the hole.

Apologies for spelling and lack of grammar autocorrect is a pain

I wouldn't want my children to see it either as it would really upset them.

Don't they ever go to the butcher or the meat aisle at the supermarket?

They do know why farmers produce those cute fluffy lambs and calves right?

@rosiejaune if you wanted an animal that eats a plant based diet you should have got rabbits.

Inflicting your ethics on an animal at the expense of its own welfare is misguided at best and cruel at worst.

I say that as a vegetarian that eats a mostly plant based diet.

Genuinely amazed at those that think this is "hilarious".

I have to admit to a weird sense of humour. 🤪
