I used one of those foot peel masks & was peeling the skin off. My beagle ran in & ate it all! 🤢

He also rolls in fox shit. And knocked over bathroom bin & took out tampon applicator & ... cleaned it 🤢

My staffy, when she was a puppy, ate the arses out of my DS' pants.

Coming back from a day out we stopped in a small town to have a look round the local market. Nearly closing time and the fishmonger had just sluiced his stall with a bucket of water. Our small version of a border collie was found rolling around in the massive puddle, mainly on her back. As if she was scratching a massive itch Grin

We debated on hanging her out of the window for the remaining 20 miles of the journey home and the stench remained hanging around everywhere for days.

Both of my young cats frequently kill small animals and birds and bring them in. Sometimes fully grown rabbits. If they leave them outside, the dog will eat any fresh, or rotting remains he can find. Dirty bastard 😂🙈

QueenOfOversharing · 01/02/2020 17:52

@GeistohneGrenzen I swear I can taste that smell 🤢🤢🤢

My dog poops in the house about twice a day - well she is very elderly, senile and just can not hold it in!

When I was pregnant on our youngest (now 3), we were out and about for a drive in the car - I think we'd been to the fair or something with my partner's daughter and our son ... we also had our Staffy with us, he loves the car.
The kids were hungry so we stopped in morrisons quickly to grab sandwiches and drinks. We left Harvey in the car with windows down - it wasn't at all warm and not sunny.
We were about 15 mins in the shop. Got back to the car ( a 3 door Honda civic sport) as I opened the passenger door for the kids to climb in the back this river came flowing out over the door sill and all over the floor and this god awful smell just hit us. Poor Harvey had had a case of montezumas revenge in the car and the entire rear footwells were covered in horrendously runny shit. My sons school bag containing pe Kit was in there too.The poor dog had such a look on his face - pure shame, he must have exploded with no warning... My partner had to take the dog out, while the kids went back in the shop to go and buy kitchen roll and stuff for me to clean it with. God knows what passersby thought was going on. As we reversed out of the parking bay all you could see was a massive brown puddle 🤢🤢 Safe to say none of us were hungry for hours after that.
We went home on the motorway with all 4 windows down absolutely freezing. In complete silence. I'm not sure who was more traumatised, us or the dog. Took us weeks of scrubbing the footwells with all kinds of cleaners to get that stench fully out. We can laugh now after 4 years 😂

My cat did a poo in the tumble dryer, one of the ones with a perforated drum so warm bits of poo kept falling out of it.

Attitude84 · 01/02/2020 18:37

Here’s me thinking my cats love of eating bugs in the summer was gross... I think I should be grateful!!!!

kasmac · 01/02/2020 18:40

Obsessing and getting excited when our DD is sick and tries to get the vomit from source 🤮. As a puppy he used to eat fox poo!
He hides food if he gets anything bigger than a cm or so........he once hid a big floret of broccoli 🥦 under my husbands pillow 😂

EmbarrassedMum1 · 01/02/2020 18:56

We used cloth nappies on my son and pooed right after putting the wash on so I put so nappy with a great big solid turd in it next to the washing machine while I cleaned the nappy pail, I turned around to see the dog pick the poo up and swallow it whole!!. Still makes me gag thinking about it!.

One of my cats sashayed up to my husband who was sitting on a hay bale in our barn and proceeded to spray mark him. I couldn't say anything to warn him for laughing so much.

His brother used to get in through open windows and crap on my son's bed.

One of the above brothers peed in an enormous box of lego. Tiny little pieces I guess he felt were a bit like cat litter. I had to wash ALL the lego. No way was I throwing away a box that big.

We had a herb garden. It needed earth. We had a load of mole hills in the back garden so I gathered them up in a wheelbarrow carefully and added them to the herb garden. Goodoh, cat litter, thought the cats, and acted accordingly amidst my poor little herb plants.

I had a pony who liked to eat the droppings of another horse - only one in particular though. He was so determined to eat shit it was really hard for the kids to pull him up and away, and then his bit would be all covered in shit when we got home.

Actually, the poo eating pony also ate the tail of that same other horse once. Just the hair of course, but he did it overnight and when I saw the horse (who was only a youngster at the time) the next day, I couldn't work out what had happened to his lovely tail - until I saw the chewed ends.

When we moved to Wales we bought a farm which had previously had cattle on it. Our springer spaniel came in from the fields that first day 'wearing' a dead calf rather as a Roman soldier would wear an animal skin.

We had a pig killed and didn't want the head. Our sons went off and buried it out in the fields. The dogs brought it back up to our doorstep. The boys buried it deeper. Back it came the next morning. My husband went out and buried it again, with concrete blocks on it. Back it came again the next morning. And you can imagine the state it was in by then.

Having had all sorts of different animals for a very long time, there are many other horrible things I could think of that they've done.

My cat used to catch maybugs. For those that don’t know they start as chafer grubs living in soil for 3 years eating decaying plant material or plant roots then emerge in may/June for about 6 weeks as huge flying beetles called maybugs. My cat kept bringing them into the house and one time crept right up to my husbands face with one in her mouth whilst he was in bed. Ugh!

Insanelysilver · 01/02/2020 21:16

My sister once put on a posh sit down dinner party and invited me and my boyfriend some new people from work she was hoping to impress.
We’re all eating our starters when there’s this god awful stench so strong and so bad it made me feel like gagging.
We realised it was coming from under the table although it permiated through the whole dining room.
There was no pretending this wasn’t happening as it was so awful and so my sister lifted up the table cloth and gave out a little shriek. This made the other guests look too.
Under the table was her Retriever dog with a giant pit-rid bone with was completely heaving with maggots
Bone was removed and dog sent out of the room and we cleaned up the maggots that got behind and cleaned the floor . Eventually dinner was resumed but we’d all lost our appetites .

My childhood Ddog used to escape out of the house/garden whenever he could. One day my Dbro had a few of the popular kids from school over to the house when our DM was at work. The Ddog came wandering in with something in his mouth. It was a used tampon. I was horrified!

I also had a pet rat who liked to sit in my shoulders, under my hair. One day I saw one of my long hairs near her tail. I pulled it gently in case it was tangled around her leg..... Nope, it was coming from her arse and out popped a turd that the hair was stuck in.

MontyPants · 01/02/2020 22:15

Girl dog licks her arsehole daily. Her mouth smells like shit. She once rolled in a large dead fish that was randomly in the middle of a field we were walking through.

Boy dog once ate a whole rotting dead pidgeon including feathers. He steals socks and vomits or shits them out around the garden. I have to buy new socks for our toddler every couple of weeks due to the dog’s obsession.

SpangleSparkle · 02/02/2020 06:02

When potty training my DD I had to watch like a hawk as if I didn’t take the potty away quick enough my dog would eat the contents 🤢

Middersweekly · 02/02/2020 11:10

My greyhound (who died a couple of years ago) used to steal my DD’s dirty nappies out of the bin and eat the contents. She would then shit frogspawn poos the next day!

My Pomeranian puppies had a trip to the vets the other day for a vaccine. On the car ride home one dog vomited in the carrier. When I got them out of the carrier they were both covered in vomit which stuck to their undercarriages, long fur and paws 🐾. They both absolutely stunk and yes they walked the vomit across the floor! The one that hadn’t vomited proceeded to eat his brothers vomit off the floor!

Purplealienpuke · 02/02/2020 11:12

During dinner brothers dog puked on my bare feet 🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I stood on a turd as a child. Bare feet. It squelched between my toes....
All these stories are the reason I don't ever want a dog or a cat. Just no ...

Soubriquet · 02/02/2020 11:19

Easy

Ripped open a big bag, got into the nappies and ate the contents.

Then went and gave dh a big kiss...who only just smelled shit on her breath after she had already licked him

Soubriquet · 02/02/2020 11:25

Oh I forgot my old dog rolled in a dead fish

The stench!!!!

We lived in a pub at that time and I had to walk through it to go upstairs.

All the customers could smell it and I had to open all the windows upstairs and downstairs to air it out

She was cuffed to bits with her new perfume and couldn’t understand why no one wanted to touch her

undercoveraessedai · 02/02/2020 11:25

OMG this thread makes me feel better (except the eating small animals part, that makes me sad). Dfluffycat has regular dingleberries, and also gets poo stuck so meows piteously at me and I have to get damp kitchen roll and... help.

Dninjacat is just not very good at reaching the litter tray when her tummy is upset, so I can follow the trail 🤢

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 02/02/2020 14:35

Our old cat (RIP) once crapped in a dd’s knicker drawer. He’d never done such a thing before and never did again, so God knows why. He wasn’t old or decrepit, and had a perfectly good cat flap.

The smell was so appalling, it was quite a while before I felt able to tackle it - and I’m not normally squeamish about poo. I shut the drawer to keep the stink in and phoned a friend for sympathy first!

Ddog (also RIP) when young would sometimes crap in the kitchen overnight - before we started allowing her to come and sleep in our bedroom. I once went down first thing and opened the kitchen door - she’d crapped right behind it, so the opening door spread it like icing on a cake!

At the same time I found that DCat had brought half a mouse in.
Lovely start to the day!

Aren't slowworms protected?

I had a beagle that would roll in all the dead things - dead fish, dead birds, dead hedgehogs... He also treated the cat litter tray as a snack bar. My son was once caught short out in the middle of nowhere and did a poo behind a tree. I was just unrolling the poo bags to pick it up - but the beagle had beaten me. Ate it warm. Oh, and the first time I bought my now-husband home we were getting down to some action and the beagle licked a firm stripe up between his arse cheeks. It's the mark of a man, I think, that he's broadly OK with your dog joining in with sex - didn't enjoy it, didn't pick him up and throw him against a wall.... That there is a keeper.

I had a rescue spaniel that was a stray and so compulsively scavenged, which wrecked his digestive system - his poos were never solid, and he had to have this really vile smelly powder sprinkled on his food to help it break down. He had explosive diarrhoea in the dining room on such a grand scale, we had to rip up the carpet. He also ate every single dog shit he could find on a walk. In the end, he had to be muzzled.

My current dog has a tendency to not finish her poos if she's called in mid-crouch, so we often find small nuggets in the house.

Oh I just remembered that when the beagle and my female cat were young and unspayed/neutered, he would follow her around when she was in season, nose inserted in her genitals. She loved it and would present to him for a good nose and a lick. Animal porn. Horror. He was gutted when they'd both been done and she went back to trying to shred him into a million pieces whenever he went near her.

Animals are really grim.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 02/02/2020 17:59

Just remembered the very Ddog we had when living in the Middle East.

One day he managed to find a dead turtle on the beach to roll in. Imagine the worst stink of rotten meat and rotten fish combined, and you’d just about have it. Couldn’t put him in the car to go home, he had to run behind, but it was just a dirt track and not far.

He was short haired but the smell clung on for ages even after several baths. In desperation I actually bought some Brut shampoo to wash him in, in the hope of one stink at least masking the other!

Girliefriendlikespuppies · 02/02/2020 18:06

Caught our puppy happily chomping on cat sick the other day 🤢
