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.

My rabbits eat their own poop. It's normal but it's still gross.

Thestrangestthing · 18/01/2020 21:36

Found and carried about a dead frog, it had been dead for some time and he would not let it go, he was only about a year old.
My old dog used to eat other dogs shit 🤢

My dog ate a condom he found in the park. I saw him get it but couldn't get him to drop it and didn't want to try and get it out of his mouth as I didn't know if it had been used 🤢

He swallowed it and I had the pleasure of seeing it come out the other end the following day.

Ok, someone please explain this - dogs have really amazing sense of smell, so why do they eat / roll in really stinky stuff? Like, beagles are scent hounds, but go straight for fox poo.

My staffy is good at catching stuff - squirrels & mice - she caught a mouse in my living room but thankfully she just squishes them half dead & leaves them.

I think dogs like stinky smells - they don’t register it as disgusting, rather interesting so they check it out to satisfy their curiosity. The smells they don’t like would be things that irritate their nose/make them sneeze like really strong perfume. Think about it, dog food smells atrocious yet that’s the bulk of their diet

As a child, the neighbour's cat who liked to hang around my parent's garden. spewed all over the window sill as Dbro and I looked on, then immediately proceeded to lap it all back up. Dbro had hysterics whilst I did a fair impression of Edvard Munch's "The Scream".

A more recent neighbour's cats, whom I later inherited, took exception to him bringing a lady friend back one night. Between the cats, despite them only just about being on speaking terms and generally being too lazy to hunt, they apparently smeared what eventually identified as a pigeon all over his kitchen. Rapid exit by lady friend. When they moved in with me, I decided it might be sensible just to let them play gooseberry.

My dog is a wire haired fox terrier so they roll in poo to disguise themselves. As basic as that

FabulouslyElegantTits · 18/01/2020 22:17

I think I've told this tale before.

We were having a stroll through our local park,where a group of travellers had arrived (relevant)

One of the children literally, as she was walking along, paused for a second shook her leg, shat on the floor and carried on walking along (I shit you not!)

DDog has gobbled it down before I could stop her! A little bit of love for her died there and then.

Cocker spaniel now aged 9 has calmed down a bit but has eaten:
Dead bird crawling with maggots - he got to it before we could
My g string which was drying on the radiator - we were very lucky it passed through without harming him although DH has to pull the last bit out as it was still in one piece
The usual disgustingness of cat poo, sick etc
The only thing he won't eat is pickled onions - stole one off my plate and dropped it after a few seconds. Will eat sick but not pickled onion Hmm

FizzyIce · 18/01/2020 22:20

When we first got our cats they both ended up with Giardia as kittens so we had to lock them in the dining room like quarantine and every morning the room would be covered in the most watery,foul smelling shit .
Had to disinfect the whole room twice a day for weeks .

Worse was when the got the snip and one of them was trying to cover up his crap but managed to get cat diarrhoea all over his cone of shame .

norbert23 · 18/01/2020 22:20

Our dog stole a sausage off the bbq and ate it whole, it was obviously far too hot as she promptly barfed it back up in the middle of the patio, let it cool slightly and then ate it again...

Motorina · 18/01/2020 22:25

My dog ate a bottle of baby oil. Which had, uhhh, consequences. Distressing and explosively messy ones. She'd clearly tried to groom herself and had instead covered herself and everything in range with mixed liquid turd and mineral oil.

White dog. Cream carpet. It was memorable.

Motorina · 18/01/2020 22:29

Same dog. Day before we were due to go to Crufts to participate in a display. Found a dead deer in the woods, rotten to the just ripe stage. Rolled in it and emerged totally covered in a thick layer of fermented deer fat, and stuffed herself into immobility.

The dog I took to Crufts was fluffy from repeated shampooing, so bloated she looked obese, and I spent the entire day hoping she wouldn't crap in the arena.

Didn't stop her begging off all the food stalls, though. "Would the cute little dog like a treat?" Yes. Yes she would.

(Queen: also a beagle owner. I feel your pain.)

FlaskMaster · 18/01/2020 22:30

On a country walk we went past some people fishing. They had a box, full of maggots or something fucking disgusting for bait, just laid open. Dog stuck his head in and ate it all. They were livid. Blush

FizzyIce · 18/01/2020 22:31

My cats have also rolled in fox shite .
Supposed to mask their scent apparently so foxes can’t eat them .
Worst thing I’ve ever smelt and I’ve smelt dead bodies !

Leighhalfpennysthigh · 18/01/2020 22:33

@QueenOfOversharing you had a Great Dane sit on your lap? Fucking hell. Respect ✊

Owner of retrievers - aka shit eaters.

Motorina · 18/01/2020 22:39

Different dog, also a beagle.

When my nephew was a toddler, he had chronic constipation and would avoid going to the toilet cos it hurt. Instead, he'd produce little rabbit-dropping like turds from his trouser legs.

My younger dog used to follow him about, nose pressed to rump, like he was a magic gumball machine. He used to feed her his turd-nuggets. I'm not sure which one was more gross.

I'm saving that one up for his wedding.

Ariesscientist90 · 18/01/2020 22:47

My dog is disgusting so there are too many things to list them all, stand out ones to me are:

-She likes to lick our cat's bottom, which even more disgustingly he seems to enjoy??!, other cat does not tolerate this fortunately

-She has gotten into the bin in the bathroom twice and took used sanitary towels out and ripped them up all over the house, which was lovely to come home to

-She jumped up the counter and ate a whole pack of butter then vomited it in five different places around the house on carpet, which was horrendous to clean up

-One of our cats is greedy and inhales his food sometimes then throws up, she eats it, she also regularly tries and sometimes succeeds into getting into the litter trays and eating cat poo out of them

OnceUponAMidnightBeery · 18/01/2020 22:50

Threw up in my Dad's shoe. Which he only discovered when he put it on.

Peed in my shoe. Ditto.

Eats cat poo, used sanpro, and knickers.

Ate DHs vomit.

Loves to trample in dog poo and spread it everywhere.

Drinks out of the toilet.

I love my dogs. Mostly.

QueenOfOversharing · 18/01/2020 23:01

@Rachelfromfriends1 that's true. But how can mine turn his nose up at Tom Ford perfume in favour of a rancid bird carcass?? 😂

@champagneandfromage50 I'd rather mine wore a hat at a jaunty angle! 😂

@Motorina I swear ppl who own beagles have some kind of warped sense of humour. We need one! I arrange a beagle walk once a month near me & I love hearing the stories of what they've been up to! And who's been in the vets the longest!!

My friend’s dog Molly wolfed down on large portion of turd he found in an alleyway on a walk before he could be dragged away. Human turd, just to make things worse - it was in a spot frequented by an unfortunate local street drinker. Molly then proceeded to throw it up on the dining room carpet 30 minutes later..

QueenOfOversharing · 18/01/2020 23:07

@Leighhalfpennysthigh yeah - a huge boy! He was gorgeous, but very wobbly in back legs. And a shitty arse hole! 😩 On our walks I always share stories with beagle or lab / retriever owners about stuff they've eaten.

My late lamented cat, Monty, was a nocturnal deliverer of gifts. Mice, specifically the head, arranged just outside my bedroom door for me to step on.
Urgh, the crunch was horrible! Woke me up more thoroughly than a cup of coffee, mind! (Which, to be fair, could be useful- but not at 2a.m. when it usually happened...)

QueenOfOversharing · 18/01/2020 23:09

Magic gumball machine! 😂😂
