I love dogs. There's a dalmatian near me that brings me true joy during the school run 🥰

But now that I've admired your dog from my car, got my dopamine hit, I am now faced with the task of avoiding glancing at its testicles and therefore being mildly grossed out during the rest of my journey.

In 2025, I shouldn't be forced to see a dogs genitals!

Time to introduce 'dog boxer shorts' so I can go about my day in peace! Someone needs to get onto Kier Starmer, honestly.

That wouldn't be my worst fear if in close proximity to a crocodile.

It was a baby. I was holding it.

Oh. That's different. When you said "crocodile" I had the image of a large, fierce predator in my head 🐊

I can only imagine the carnage that would be caused through wrestling my cats into these.

I’d like to see the cows (in the field opposite) in nappies. It’s gross seeing them leak poo everywhere. 😁

Especially when you're looking for your lost beret and you keep thinking you've found it and reaching down to pick it up.

I can imagine how well your knicker check goes down with visitors!

😂😂😂😂 I’m sorry 🤣🤣 . My cockapoo already has to put up with a wardrobe of coats , jumpers and daft costumes that my Mum buys him , please don’t tell her about dog pants too , she already wanted to buy him some socks ! My dog might decide at this point to run away .. give him SOME dignity please 🤣🤣

Better not her you can by boots for dogs. I think crocs do them. But might have imagined that bit

AngelinaFibres · 22/11/2025 12:59

I hadn't really thought about balls but I really do hate dog's visible bumholes. Huskies, pugs, oh no, yuk. Especially when you see their owner carrying a bag of shit. Shitty bumhole right there🤑

Or the dog's Frisbee. So many mistakes , especially now the clocks have changed.

Sanitary pants for female dogs on their ‘period’ …….

Redpeach · 22/11/2025 14:42

Dog Butt holes and scrunch bum leggings both give me the ick

These exist. Some bitches bleed a lot, so some owners will use dog hygiene pants to stop it getting everywhere.

On a weekend visit to a friend her female golden lab was wearing canine pull-ups... I didn't say anything, just assumed it was the way things are!

CheeseIsMyIdol · 22/11/2025 15:29

They shouldn’t have testicles because they should be neutered.

PandaCwtch · 22/11/2025 10:23

Is it just intact male dogs then? Do you take issue with female dogs? Would they need to wear knickers rather than boxers? What about neutered males - no testicles, but still liable to get the lipstick out on occasion?

😂😂😂😂

I’m sure I heard David Attenborough once say the only animal to menstruate apart from humans is the gorilla.

Doesn't bother me. But some dogs seem to have huge plums. Intact male dachshunds always seem to have a pair that are way out of proportion to their body.

Pet rats however. I always had females as the boys had huge nads and I hated the feel of them.

I’m sure I heard about a study which showed men and women pictures of different dogs and the men were very drawn to looking at their genitals but the women weren’t. I can’t find it now so I may have dreamt it, but I’m sure I heard it on the QI podcast 🤔

While looking for it I found out that someone won an Ig Nobel Prize in 2005 for inventing Neuticles* *- silicone testicle replacements for neutered dogs whose owners want them to appear more “virile”. Is there a chance that the Dalmatian might be sporting a pair of XL Neuticles at his owner’s request??

Omg one time I was on twitter and is saw a video of this podcast man absentmindedly masturbating his dog! No word of a lie!

But nothing happened to him 🤷‍♀️
