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.

I'm loving this thread as it makes me think my four hounds aren't as bad as I thought. I've lots of stories but the one that sticks on my mind was many years ago while walking my greyhound in woods beside a fishing lake. It was a cold and frosty Sunday morning and everything was white. In the distance I could see ddog face down in something. It was a fresh fisherman's shite, bright orange and stinking of curry. Ddog proceeded to chomp the lot, it was between his teeth. I gagged all the way home in the car as he burped and filled the air with curried shite...I could still smell it the next day as it was shat out.

@Motorina

Beagles are basically dickheads.

Let's get T-shirts made! 😂

@Motorina Ffs, I'm gagging. 🤢😂

@Oldishusernewname I felt the same when my staffy caught the squirrels - I was partly impressed, but mostly disappointed. Worse that ppl were screaming watching her! 😩😂

@Horehound that's true love. Hope your friend appreciated it!

@Ski37 Noooooo!!! 🤢

@mummabubs we lose all dignity as dog owners! 😂

One more and I’m done...

My old girl was prone to anal gland problems. She had one flare up on a Saturday night late and, whilst it was clearly sore, it was not something which justified an out of hours visit.

So, I’m lying there listening to the awful slurping sound of a dog nadgering at her unmentionables, inches from my ear. Suddenly, blessed silence, and the dawning realisation that pus and horror was draining all over my pillow.

(This thread should be required reading for any potential dog-owner.)

My dog rolls in anything. Living in flooded fenland provides him with ample opportunity. So far this year he has rolled in a rotting, stranded 6 pound dead carp and a putrefying swan. After rolling in the swan he came cantering back to me all happy covered in rotting swan innards.

I gagged all the way home. 4 baths, 3 ketchup baths and he still stank.

Gogolego · 19/01/2020 22:07

Ddog likes eating rabbit poo and will go
Out of her way to do so. She also likes rolling in dead fish, rotting sea birds and fox poo

She hates baths but because she has it once we get home the connection between crime and needing a bath has gone

QueenOfOversharing · 19/01/2020 22:55

These are brilliant and yes @Motorina it should be required reading!! I just mentioned it on a new thread about someone getting a beagle.

My DS came into living room & saw beagle chewing something, hanging half out his mouth. I told him it was more skin I'd peeled off my feet (he'd jumped up on table) and DS was heaving. He called him a disgusting shit & left the room! 😂 beagle couldn't give a fuck.

Another knicker eating dog here! But only female pants not the male 😬 used the cat litter tray as a personal snack bar 🤮 insists on licking the cats bum enthusiasticly and the cat who doesn't really like him let's it happen lol

SleightOfMind · 19/01/2020 23:08

Once the elaborate hamster /goldfish/gerbil funerals were over, DC1’s Bigdog dug up three of the little DC’s buried small pets from the garden.

She left the rotting head halves of the corpses for them to find.

JKScot4 · 19/01/2020 23:09

Out of my gang of 4 legged companions the furry one (others are nice smooth bull breeds) is the worst for rolling in stuff. Her current best was vomit inducing, they were about 30m ahead, could see largest dog standing staring into a bush and there was the minger of them all getting a good back roll into a burst open dead rabbit 🤮🤢🤮
A hosing down, followed by a shower with me picking ‘bits’ out her fur 🤮🤮

Brigante9 · 19/01/2020 23:12

Ate each other’s poo, waited for it to curl out then hoovered it up.

Skis across the landing leaving a brown streak.

I once chopped a bunny in half for them, the guts dropped out, one of them picked it all up and ate it.

One retrieved a tiny baby bunny in the woods, obviously not going to survive so I euthanised it, put it on the ground, dog inhaled it. They’re disgusting.

Totopoly · 19/01/2020 23:16

I was going to say: 'eating other people's/pets' puke and shit', but now realise this is everyday fodder.

One of mine once ate a rubber glove. It did come out in the end.

Please excuse me if I've said any of this before (just ignore).

Cat came in through cat flap then proceeded to vomit, spasm after spasm and what came up was - a frog.

Cat brought in a fish - a great big goldfish type fish, the sort people have in ponds. He'd chewed half of it. I think whoever had the pond had put wire netting around it because my cat had a bad scratch under front leg (I want to say arm); I could imagine him sitting by the pond for hours in the dark waiting to pounce.

Rabbit and cat were friends and played together until one day the rabbit decided to mate with the cat. They never played together again.

That bit really made me laugh. Now they avoid eye contact & only exchange a few words 😂

Many years ago I owned a Beagle. I had no idea that other people's Beagles were as disgusting as mine, makes me feel so much better somehow.

QueenOfOversharing · 20/01/2020 09:43

@ofay beagles seem to take disgusting to the next level. 🤢

One of my dogs actively seeks out my sons nappy’s (just the poopy ones) to eat them! Gross. We have to lock the nappy bin now and she breaks into them 🤮

ACupOfTeaSolvesEverything · 20/01/2020 10:07

I used to have a Newfie (big dog - 13.5 stones of hair) who found a dead deer in the woods, after a tug of war with his basset friend he dragged his half all the way back to the car by the hoof then tried to bring it home with him.

My dearly missed rottie cross used to roll in fox poo like it was the finest eau de cologne, we drove home with all the windows open and our heads hanging out several times.

My current pup used to be a street dog. She shits then turns around and eats it all, I guess on the streets it all counts as food...

My other dog is a Labrador, very good at fetching, once he brought me the bathroom mirror at 3 am Grin but also very good at fetching knickers and underpants out of the washing basket and sucking the crotch. He also loves to clean your feet, gets right in between your toes it’s like a car wash for feet.

Same Lab recently sourced a dead stinky rabbit on a walk and brought it back like a prize, ex-street dog pup thought she fancied a bit of that so grabbed the other end... they both pulled the rabbit split open and I threw up. Not our best walk.

What’s really disgusting is these dogs lick us Confused

I saw it posted on here years ago and go back and read it now and then whenever dog does something really disgusting to remind myself how lucky I am I don’t have to deal with this Grin

Nothing! But then we did only get him yesterday...
