Our lovely boy is 17 in June and he’s had a massive change in behaviour in the last month. He is 100-% obsessed with food. He’s always been food motivated but I’ve upped his food from 200g to 650g a day and he’s still pacing and crying for food. He tried to eat kindling earlier so I had to go to bed at like 8 to distract him. He has lost 10kg since Jan (24 kg - 14kg despite eating pretty much continuously. I feel like it’s time. He has had a wonderful life but fuck me this is hard!
I just wanted to share some of his more ridiculous stories.
He ate dough that was proofing on the counter and puked it up then was banging into stuff so I took him to the vet whereupon the vet pronounced him drunk on the fermenting yeast.
He ate 5 boxes (yes boxes so 20 packets) of denta sticks when I was away and id just moved in with my now husband, he’d never had a dog before so assumed the boxes of treats were safe- they werent. He proceeded to puke it all up on the only carpet in the entire house.
Just moved (as in 4 days) into a brand new area across the uk from our old house, knew no one. Managed to find a woman who was walking dogs and booked him in. Gave her his muzzle and instructed under no circumstances is he to have his muzzle off. Came home to him not wearing his muzzle and a very cheerful dog walker who said that he was so good with all the other dogs that she just took his muzzle off and he had a great time. Then he developed a bowel obstruction so we had to go to the Vet to have it all removed. He had eaten a child’s sock a Lego action man and 27p in change, it cost the dog walker about 1600 quid. Then we had to change our holiday the weekend after, to a dog friendly hotel. When on arrival Hugo decided he wasn’t able to climb the stairs himself so my husband had to carry him up 2 flights of stairs weighing 25 kg in front of reception. He placed him lovingly on the floor of the bedroom and Hugo the ever loving twat jumps onto the bed unaided and hence the photo. When we returned from holiday we had to take him back to the Vet to have his stitches removed. As The Vet was giving me a lecture about looking after him and making sure he didnt eat anything bad for him, Hugo chewed the his laces off. He made my dog is a twat for that 🤣
God speed little man
