Deer leg in garden

SquishyBones · 28/06/2020 12:11

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?

Blimey what breed is your dog, they're huge! The neighbours are probably nervously awaiting the arrival of a 3-legged deer now!

YANBU to make DH go and get it, but you also need to make sure it can’t happen again. I would be horrified if a deers leg came through from next doors garden!

Yes, the welfare of our almost 16 year old (medium sized) dog has obviously been severely compromised since he has not eaten animal products since being rescued at 5 months old...

Unless he is allergic to animal protein, I actually think that’s unfair. Is it because you’re vegetarian? Then don’t get a dog, I don’t care how controversial that is. All dogs want to eat stinky dead stuff, I can’t count how many times mine retrieved half a pigeon the other day, it’s normal and natural.

think a horse head would send a better message.

And roll in it. My had such a great move when sliding through shit or carcasses so we couldn't stop him😂 He run and then in that speed bent one leg and slid onto his side and then back. Perfectly timed every time. His side hit the ground EXACTLY where whatever he was aiming for started😂 Such precision

@AppleJane WOW... i have heard some bullshit in my time but going vegan will reverse the damage to my heart caused by Ehlers Danlos syndrome, fix my dilated cardiomyopathy, fix my leaky mitral valve...

Holy shit have you informed the NHS because this could save them a fuckton in bypasses, valve replacements and heart transplants!!!

Get in the sea you utter melt.

“ Get in the sea you utter melt.” 😂😂😂

For whoever asked if my dog gets enough exercise .. she competes in agility, scentwork, mantrailing and swims weekly so yes, yes she does.

Telling anyone that changing their diet will immediately remove the need for their prescribed and monitored medication is pretty dangerous and irresponsible.

Otherwise, this thread has been hilarious

SquishyBones · 29/06/2020 13:52

It’s almost a 50/50 vote too!

Sorry but I really really laughed at this! Fucking dog showing you up! We used to give ours a cow hoof stuffed with fuck knows what from the farm shop. Omg the stink. It smelled like all the cow poo in the whole world. My youngest called it a hoot! So me and my husband used to wander about muttering "fucking cow hoot stinks"

SquishyBones · 29/06/2020 14:02

I’ve just been looking around my living room and can see a buffalo horn, deer antler and some big hollow bone which I assume belonged to a cow at some point. Would be interesting to get forensics in here to determine how many animal DNA samples they can find

Ah my two used to love their deer antlers

But they end up scrapping over them now so they can’t have them anymore

Ihaventgottimeforthis · 29/06/2020 14:26

I've got remnants of pig feet, cow legs, deer antlers and buffalo horns scattered around my house & garden.
DDog does try to bury the particularly meaty ones, but luckily only in my garden!
I can get hold of whole rabbits but I think that would cross the line for DC.

You might want to make a set of these OP, in case the neighbours turn violent.

OP is basically the equivalent of a Tiger Mum, but for dogs.

@drinkingwineoutofamug the ones with ridges are necks: the two thinner ones turkey or duck most likely, and the bigger ridged one is a trachea, probably beef.

It reminded me of after school and weekend life with the DCs pre-pandemic with sport, music and so on! With the dogs, its just sleep, eat, garden, sofa, walk, dig, play, walk/run, river/sea, fireside and repeat... must enrol them for ballet. Yours have certainly got the leg(s) for it Wink

So true. My gorgeous pair of hounds are totally disgusting Grin

Soubriquet · 29/06/2020 15:34

I once had a dog who managed to roll in a dead rotting fish in the middle of summer EnvyEnvyEnvy

Oh.My.God.

We lived in a pub at the time and had to go through it to get the dog upstairs. It took ages to get the smell out of the pub to begin with, and then at least 3 baths before she smelt better.

She was very offended as she thought her new perfume was brilliant Grin

bengalcat · 29/06/2020 15:48

Have just been on the puppytales website and ordered some ears and a puffed up pigs snout for my hound - cant wait to see the faces on my fellow housedwelling humans when they see my purchases .
Stopped short of buying buffalo trachea with a bit of lung wrapped around it - for now .

CuriousaboutSamphire · 29/06/2020 16:14

Also try JR Pet Products.

Lovely selection of body parts, with and without fur! Some of them are truly stinky, DDog loves them the most Grin

Chocolatefixeseverything · 29/06/2020 16:23

Oh that a bit gross and very naughty of the dog to do it again lol your poor neighbours, natural dog snacks are all a bit gross but dogs dont care and I guess it is a nose to tail approaching the animal is going to be killed anyway. I only found out recently the bully sticks I was buying for ours are cows penis 🤮
