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.

The old worm half hanging out her arsehole, that's a sneaky one.

DickDewy · 18/01/2020 23:13

Dug up a recently departed rabbit from the garden. It was just in the liquefaction stage of decay - ie the skin was intact but everything inside was liquid.

He then proceeded to wolf the lot down because we were trying to get it off him. The smell was something else.

@queenofoversharing ohhhh yes, absolutely.

My 11 month is currently standing at the bottom of the stairs howling because she's abandoned and alone and unloved. There's nothing to stop her coming up the stairs and getting into bed, but she doesn't seem to have worked that out.

Beagles are basically dickheads.

Girlwhowearsglasses · 18/01/2020 23:17

Dear departed cat- eagerly ate a slug that had somehow made it into the kitchen. Then Luke’s it up again instantly...

Motorina · 18/01/2020 23:22

Ohhhh God, I've just remembered...

My cat was something of a hunter. Came and went as he pleases. When he did, I tended to cease the moment and worm him before he vanished again.

So, he does this giant post-worming diarrhoea poo. Full of dead and dying worms. All bubbly and wriggling and very, very stinky.

Before I could clear up, the beagles charged in and hoovered it up. Worms and all. There's not much that makes me retch but the sight of them slurping up worms in a cat shit stew really did.

Vile, vile creatures.

My beautiful, gentle, (mostly) well behaved, generally non gross Springer caught and killed a rabbit yesterday. She dropped it when I told her to so thankfully it didn't get gory but I can't quite look at her the same way. I'm a country person, brought up with gun dogs but I'm still a bit disgusted at her (completely normal) behaviour. Didn't think she had it in her. She was ever so pleased with herself though

Oldishusernewname · 18/01/2020 23:33

Some brilliant stories on here, I used to walk dogs for a living and the things I've had to pull out of labradors' arses could fill a book Grin

TeetotalKoala · 18/01/2020 23:33

God this is thread that just keeps on giving. Actual tears. Magic gumball machine just about finished me off.

Horehound · 18/01/2020 23:34

Ate a human poop that someone had done on a mountain in Skye and then wiped her face on my friend ..

Ski37 · 18/01/2020 23:40

My lovely lap cat is unfortunately also a prolific hunter when out. He has failed to learn that frogs disagree with him so on more times than I care to remember I have been greeted by a pile of cat sick on the kitchen floor complete with half digested frog.
The most disgusting for me though was when I was relaxing on the sofa and he jumped up and did the usual cat greeting of sticking his bum in my face- with a live tapeworm segment working it’s way out which proceeded to drop onto my chest 🤢 He has always had a regular flea and worming treatment but the worming tablet is even more frequent now!!!

Ski37 · 18/01/2020 23:48

In wet weather he has also been known to come in with multiple slugs stuck to his fur (and he is a short haired mog). He cries at me until I remove them- I pride myself with being able to deal with most things but slugs are testing my limits 😳

Serin · 18/01/2020 23:53

At a rowing regatta, DS got to the finish line so absolutely shattered that he threw up in the river.
Immediately a labrador jumped in, swam over and ate the floating bits. In front of a few hundred people too.

Our greyhound loves eating cat poop and his own vom (yum) but probably the worse to date when when he ate a whole chicken off the kitchen side... bones and all. Cue 72 hours of me terrfiedly watching for the slightest indication of internal punctures and dreading the enormous vet bill/ stress that this would incur. Great news - no rupturing of organs and he proceeded to pass it out bit by bit. Not so great news - turns out he'd also eaten the string that binds the bird together and this had become stuck mid-exit. After watching him strain repeatedly to no avail I literally had no choice but to pull the entire lentgth of shit covered string out of my dog's arsehole in front of other horrified dog walkers. At least I had a spare poo bag to act as a glove.

Serin · 19/01/2020 00:09

Oh and another time we were on St Agnes beach with baby DD playing happily on a blanket and a bloody labradoodle thing walked past with its owner and wee'd all over her.
Owner laughed Hmm

TheNestedIf · 19/01/2020 00:16

I've remembered another one, although I didn't have to see/smell/clean up the aftermath so I'm not as traumatised as my mother was

Our cat used to sleep in the kitchen at night and frequently liked to perform inspections of the lower cupboards. One day, he.had a fight with another cat and came away with a scratch on the top of his head which, as cat scratches often do, went septic and rapidly turned into a huge abscess.

Guess where he was and what he was doing when the abscess popped?

morningsarethebest · 19/01/2020 00:31

Years back, pre DH and DD, my greyhound was a real cock enthusiast. If he ever thought I might be having sex, he'd run upstairs to watch or - worse - try to join in. I am still scarred by the time he crept up behind some poor chap I was dating and licked his balls from behind 😂

QuestionableMouse · 19/01/2020 01:18

My dog pissed on me tonight. He's a bit thick at times and got me rather than the tree I was standing next to. Wasn't overly impressed with him because I had to walk home with a wet leg, stinking!

lavenderlemonade · 19/01/2020 02:30

Had relatives staying in spare room. My cat wanders in whilst relatives on the phone and sits on her open suitcase brimming with her things.

She looks my relative right in the eye and pisses all in the suitcase without breaking eye contact then went and sat next to her freshly cleaned litter tray.

Sparkle2020 · 19/01/2020 02:41

My dog ate her own shit all the time as a puppy. Ate our adult dogs poo too when she got the chance. She’s 4 now and still does it on occasion, it’s like she’s treating herself every few months. So disgusting. Also likes to put her head under the other dog when it’s going for a wee. I don’t think she has many brain cells bless her. Other theory is that everytime she does it we bath her and she LOVES the bath (jumps in even when it’s empty and just stands there watching me as it to say cmon give me a rinse Grin)

Sparkle2020 · 19/01/2020 02:43

@morningsarethebest laughing so much at this. One of my dogs loves watching too, it’s so creepy. Sometimes she’ll jump up and lick the duvet over us and we have to get her out and barricade her out of the room 😂😂

BritWifeinUSA · 19/01/2020 03:15

I’m never getting a dog after reading this thread...

Shev1996 · 19/01/2020 03:19

My baby is an absolute angel, would never do anything bad...unless it’s cat or fox poo, then it’s like gourmet meal time! Have you ever tried pulling poo out of a dogs mouth whilst gagging???

loubieloo4 · 19/01/2020 03:54

Ddog many moons ago and has now since passed...

Ate a full large tub of sudocrem, the aftermath we allied into was discussing, it just kept going and going, we needed a new carpet afterEnvy

As a kid, we lived on an island that had its own sewerage plant. There were some outdoor pools of brown thickish liquid that I can only assume it was poo going through a process of some sort. It did not smell. I know it didn't smell, because our springer, who loved to swim, would find a gap under the fence and swim just ecstatically in this, jump out and run back to me and, because she was wet, would shake it off all over me. I got wise really quickly after the first time and either had her on a leash or avoided that area for her walk. But sometimes I forgot. I think I am still traumatised.
