This bloody dog will be the death of me

[captainPugwashh]

I love him to bits but fuck me hes outdone himself this afternoon

Went out to pub and had a lovely time. Came home to him bashing into thing and staggering about with a nice pile of sick in the middle of the only rug we have (why do they always do that) quickly rush him to the vet who asks what he ate. He ate bread dough and vommed it all back up. The yeast was fermenting in his stomach and he was effectively drunk.

They could feel something in his tummy so he was sedated and x rayed. He had coins in his intestine and a Lego action man. So he's had emergency surgery today and has cost me &
£1600. He'd eaten 27p in coins fuck knows how or when!

How old is the dog you ask? 17 years old no shits given.

He also chewed off the vets shoe lace when he was brought back to me as the vet was telling me what he had removed from his stomach. He didn't swallow that thank God.

Ah yes the raisins! How could you be angry at that face?? We had that in 2013, apparently it depends on the dog whether it has a reaction to them or not. The same year he ate an Easter egg complete with tinfoil. Since then we have been very careful about leaving things out. However I'm pretty sure him and the cat teamed up for this one.

This time of year we spend half our days inducing vomiting in dogs!!
You are not alone!

@ThePlatypusAlwaysTriumphs wow!a whole tennis ball is skills!

Corgis are brilliant. We have a full corgi and the Heinz 57 that is Simon. I'm a corgi fan for life! We've also got a border terrier who is brilliant

I do love border terriers as well! But corgis are just such underrated dogs! I couldn't believe the personality they have! My other dog is a collie, and lovely too!

So low enough to the ground to just Hoover up anything and everything?

@SabrinaThwaite yes. He's a bin on legs. If it's not nailed down he will give it a go. The cat helped him this time though. I feel very lucky that he has got through this though

I'd want to hear from the dog walker who said he didn't need a muzzle on. That's not on.

He's adorable isn't he! Little shit, but they all are in varying ways 🤣

Also chuckling. Glad he's ok! And 17 years young hahaha. Also he is very cute, and looks like he means business.

Awww he's a sturdy fellow. I grew up on a farm. I won't ruin your breakfast by listing the things our dogs ate over the years. 🤢

Ok but I love him

Simon is a legend.
As a Lab owner we know the struggle.
Mine is 10 now
Hilights include
2x phones and 3 remote controls , he then moved on from electricals to shoes.
All the shoes.
His first Xmas he was 11 months, we were really careful with chocolate so he somehow got the wrappers from a box of Quality Street - he had rainbow shits for days.
Wool. As in my knitting.
And now, in his golden years , he is fantastic in the house but once outside he could eat ANYTHING .

Simon is a fucking ledge!! Hope his hangover isn’t too bad 🤣🤣

He’s gorgeous OP, I hope he’s recovering well from his exploits!

Ah, so looking at Simons innocent little face it's clear that the cat was trying to poison him, just as I suspected.

Our TV remote recently went missing, it turns out the neighbours staffy ate it when we dog sat overnight, he pooed it out whole. That dog has amazing bowels, he has also pood out a poo bag complete with someone elses poo inside, a stretch armstrong and a small bottle of conditioner (travel size).

It was the chewing off the vets shoe lace that got me.

We have a pug for who has special dietary food that costs an absolute fortune because he can't tolerate fats. Any time there is the mereest smidgen of cheese on the floor he's there like lightening. He can hear the fridge open from floors away. I see him sitting there with a grumbly tummy after he's snaffled something with a face that says, "worth it."

Happy Christmas to you and Simon.

I hope Simon has the best Christmas. He is awesome.

I love his commitment to consumption when after all those shenanigans he’s still got it in him to chew the vets shoe lace! Simon you are awesome x

A few Christmases ago I had a bag of food ready for a food bank, mine managed to open the door and get into it, he ate a whole box of dark chocolate cherry liquors, a full lasagne, loads of tomato puree (tubes included) and a few packets of biscuits! I had to pay £500 for the vet to induce vomiting because it was out of hours, but to make things worse he is incredibly clingy (and stubborn) and 45kg so the vet couldn’t take him to do it. I had to sit on a floor for 2 hours holding a bucket to catch his sick telling him it was going to be ok 😂 I was heavily pregnant at the time!

My friends dog ate a whole Toblerone plus foil! We are eating Christmas cake in the bedroom in case !

Your post has cheered me up on the first day of the holidays when I hate them! Thank you Simon!

Knew there was Labrador involved from the opening words 😂

Mine is OK with food mostly, after loads of training, but I can’t stop him eating my socks, and he’s destroyed many slippers. He’s always so damn HAPPY about it, I can’t tell him off too much.

Dogs really are such a joy.

Jesus Christ!! Hahahahaha!! Aw he sounds amazing.

However, I have been put off having a dog for life and I’m just going to cuddle my cat.

Didnt know this about Labs.

Ah god I had to hook a chewed up cob of corn from my 1yr old Labrador when on a walk yesterday. So slimy and gross! But glad I did if it is operation worthy!!

We then crossed the road and to her delight she managed to snaffle up a whole waffle! (Dessert type, not potato waffle). Not sure what came over her as usually she will “leave” if asked to. But then again, it is Christmas season isn’t it? 🫣🫣

I love that his name is Simon, and his expression says it all! No F's given
