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?

@AppleJane - yes! A wheelbarrow, several spadefuls of dirt... anything right?!

@dudsville

I have dogs and i would not be at all thrilledto discover these things in my garden. Fwiw i only give my dogs things i eat, I'm a "pescatarian", so it would sadden me to see parts of lovely animals as tasty treats.

You might be pescatarian but dogs aren’t. Humans aren’t designed to have a meat-based diet (blunt teeth and longer intestines) but dogs are. Please feed your dog a proper diet.

A photo, wtf? What’s he planning on doing with that, for gods’ sake? Complaining to the council that his neighbours-shock, horror-feed their dog proper food?

@donquixotedelamancha the only art gallery that blokes going to do is an online one on his SM account shaming his neighbour. He's already got a foot, a leg and an ear he might hold out for a wing or two.

Vegetarian here also finding this hilarious. But I'm vegetarian because of factory farming - don't understand how meat eaters can be so squeamish

yeah this is completely horrible. They are not being unreasonable to note want to find horrid bits of animal in their garden. even looking at the picture of those legs makes me feel funny. eugh

I hope he enjoys his photo.
Be good to get the fence mended.
I have found this very funny...and despair at those who would be disgusted by the deer leg in the garden while tucking into their burger.

Yeah because that's exactly the problem here isn't it?

< Sigh >

Your neighbour is taking a photo as evidence. Fix the fence - that is disgusting !

I don't think OP is feeding them deer wings.

I want to know what he’s going to do with the photo!

Do you have a local residents FB page OP?

I feel that the poster is being disingenuous on here, Im sure that they know perfectly well that this would upset the neighbours, not least because there is a hole in the fence that their dog can get through!

I am going to buck the trend here. I am stag-gered by this thread. I have no i-deer if it's genuine. It sounds like a load of old bull to me. If it is, then OP is making a pig's ear of neighbourly relations. She should have baked them a cake, legged it round with a bottle of nice wine and done some serious fawning. I wouldn't blame them if they moo-ved. I doe-n't think OP is being at all reasonable. Offally poor form not to fix the hole in the fence.

I don't think OP is feeding them deer wings

Nor duck antlers?!

I'm vegan and would find this hilarious 🤣 I'd have just passed it back over if my dog hadn't have found it and eaten it first that is.

I wonder if some of the posters think packs of wolves track and hunt wild tins of Pedigree Chum and wait at watering holes for the cans to stop and take a drink before striking.

Animals eat other animals.

oh OP when they found the deer leg I would have screamed "BAMBI!!! WHO ATE YOU BAMBI???" Then told a tall tale about the "beast that no one must name" that roams these parts.....
MWAHAHAHAHA

Can I say well done OP for feeding raw. Pondering raw for when I next get kittens (have an old kitty so won't get any new cats until she dies).

My dog isn't raw fed but occasionally we will buy her pig trotters or a pig head from the meat market.

She also eats some, and burys the rest.

I'm going to have to go round digging up the garden before we move out or the new neighbours are going to have quite a shock.

Sorry but I am not surprised they were unhappy. I would have been too.

I have no idea over the ethics of giving dogs such things but admit I would have freaked out - and not been terribly impressed (sorry) - if such a thing had landed in the garden.
Please just dogproof the garden.

I'd have laughed and slung the leg back over, as long as it wasn't covered in blue bottles/maggots...
My JRT loves mice, but I think the fur gives him indigestion...he once regurgitated one on my bedroom floor, it looked like a fluffy mars bar 🤢

This is the funniest post I have ever read. I used to dread asking neighbours for my football when I kicked it over their fence, but this is just on a whole different level.

Fix the fence if you're going to feed your dogs this OP. Lots of people would be so upset to see that, myself included. I don't think it is that funny to be upsetting people really- it's a shame. They should be able to go in their own garden and not see bloody chopped off detritus lying around, especially after they've already told you it's caused serious distress.

You can do what you want in your own garden and feed your own dog what you want but fix the fence so it can't happen and be courteous.

At least it wasn't bull pizzle 😊

I've never owned a dog, and had no idea they ate this kind of stuff. (I've just never thought about it)
So if I saw a sawn off deer legs in my garden, I'd think there was some type of animal murderer around, and I'd freak out too, it's really gruesome.
However, once you had explained, I'd have understood and found the next 'offering ' more an annoyance than anything else.

Certainly no need to photograph oit! Yuk.

Very funny - my dog ate a dead rabbit once - as she crunched her way through the skull both ears were hanging down from her mouth - we were transfixed as they were sucked in like spaghetti - that was followed by a trip to the vet for worm tablets just in case .
As a student I do remember the Dean asking students to refrain from leaving parts of their skeletons on the tube as it caused consternation for the local constabulary !
