Ours thinks its great to go up and introduce herself to other dogs who arent interested and takes their snarls and hackles up as a welcome sign Confused We have only had her a month but she legs it in search of anything more interesting than us, which must be most things given the frequency Blush. Please tell me tales of your dogs to make me feel a bit less inadequate TIA

Killed a sweet, tiny baby rabbit. In front of a new group of friends and their assorted children Blush

She's a minature dachshund so it was quite unexpected

thewizenedone · 25/03/2012 09:28

Awww Blush how awful, especially as Dachsunds look so innocent too. Am fed up of chasing daft dog, she is poodling along, all the while looking about as if to say there must be something, interesting about, at least she has realised she cant fly and no longer tries to chase the birds, sigh

Stolen food from a picnic Blush. Really not good.

JaxTellerIsMyFriend · 25/03/2012 14:52

thewisenedone you need a long line for your dog, before it gets hurt by another dog.

oh lord, over the years our dogs have;
1 - stolen a chicken leg at a picnic then stood in the middle of pond eating it, knowing that nobody would follow him in to retrieve it.
2 - stolen a childs football, burst it and then legged it round the footie field tossing it in the air.
3 - picked up a dead pigeon and then tried to eat it without chewing (when he was v ill and on steroids) my friend had to put her hand in his mouth and hoik it out.

thewisenedone, our dog is also no good at recognizing when other dogs aren't friendly. Once we had a failure of recall and he ran up to an aggressive dog which went berserk and bit him (not badly). Entirely our fault since he shouldn't have run off like that. Like Jax says, get a long line and work on recall more or one day this will happen to him.

Our other dog once ate a baby mole in front of horrified friends.

Im so glad other dogs steal picnics. We took my brothers doog for a walk and it ran over and ate a whole lunchbox of food which someone playing 5aside had left lying.

we ran away

D0oinMeCleanin · 25/03/2012 17:54

He pissed up the Lollipop lady's stick. She was holding it at the time Blush

He also dry humped a pristine white, fluffy puppy. This happened after he had rolled in the Bog of Doom Blush

KenDoddsDadsDog · 25/03/2012 17:55

My friends border collie stuffed itself through someone's wrought iron gate and bent it. We ran away and I wet myself from laughing. Blush

RockinD · 25/03/2012 17:56

Slipped into a farm yard and came back almost immediately with a chicken - dead.

Climbed a tree and caught and killed a pheasant

Caught and killed a squirrel in the park

We live quite near a well known Olympic runner - well all I can say is, he ain't that fast! Dog caught him - no problem!

Caught the bishop and pulled him off his bike - in a 'no cycling' area

Not my dog but I saw it happen (it was my friends dog) - the dog picked up a massively long stick and then ran between 2 people who were walking along hand in hand.

The stick caught the backs of their knees and they both collapsed in a heap.

dubaipieeye · 25/03/2012 18:06

Massive poo in front of the local mosque. At Friday prayer time. Mortified. No more Friday lunchtime walks.

dubaipieeye · 25/03/2012 18:06

Should at that we cleaned up quick smart but...STILL!

oldqueenie · 25/03/2012 18:08

ran in circles around and around two teeny tiny tots on shetland ponies barking at the very top of her voice and trying to nip the ponies' ankles. it took us about 10 (very long) minutes to catch her. she thought it was the best fun EVER. the formidable ladies in charge of the ponies were (rightly) wholly unamused. the shame.

dyspeptic · 25/03/2012 18:17

Joined in a proposal lured in by the picnic basket. She sat in the middle of the couple as they clutched champagne and canapés. She had to be removed by hand...

Madsometimes · 25/03/2012 18:35

My dog also likes to police the morality of our park. If a couple are lying on the grass indulging in some snogging, legs entwined etc, he likes to join in prevent them from getting too carried away, by jumping on them.

nightswimmer · 25/03/2012 19:56

My dog lifted his leg on someone's baby on the beach. Not good. Another time, grabbed someone's shirt off the sand while they were swimming and ran round and round in ever increasing circles growling with delight.

hairypotter · 25/03/2012 20:08

Mine peed on someones picnic at the beach Blush

teanosugar · 25/03/2012 20:09

Lunged forward to get to another dog, sent me sprawling in the road and bit the other dog. Blush

topknob · 25/03/2012 20:10

Bitten a dog just like the one in the op...she is muzzled now when off lead, but during this incident she was on lead and the stupid owner did not even try and recall they're dog !

MrsMcEnroe · 25/03/2012 20:14

My dog has stolen people's picnics on several occasions Blush (she's a labrador, if that's any excuse, i.e. a walking dustbin) but I am more interested in how on earth RockinD's dog managed to climb a tree without the pheasant noticing ...

Ratbagcatbag · 25/03/2012 20:30

I'm crying with laughter at these - sorry - you will get your own back with mine though.

I was walking my very excitable daft mutt on a long retractable lead because he has zero recall ever, however he always has to be at the end of the line, just because.
As I was walking with him a reasonable distance in front down a wooded lane with no pavements, all off a sudden the line went slack and then started quivering frantically, I was yelling my non-exsistent recall in the hope of showing I had at least a modicum of control wondering what on earth was going on.
As I caught up with mutt, he was enthusiatically jumping all over a semi naked woman in the back seat of a very compact car (who was trying to hide her face, I can assure you love it wasn't your face that had got my attention) her boyfriend/lover/benefit friend, was trying to get out of the back seat position where he had obviously left the door open slightly for leverage, I was greeted by very pale ass cheeks in a very interesting position as he was backing out let me tell you.
By this point I have yelled my dogs name to death, but because these people are pushing at him he thinks its a fab game, eventually I managed after threatening to give him away/shoot him/ abandon him (pick one) he came out realising I was serious and took himself for a wee nearby, no worries you may think BUT his stupid evil extendi lead was still wrapped twice around pale ass cheeks boy which meant he couldn't really pull his jeans or boxers up, I had to murmur could I please have my lead back (If I had gone in to retreive it I would have had literally an eye level view at either front or back). He stumbled out of the lead and I carried on walking dragging the dog away Blush.
I could have walked back up the lane or a two mile detour to get home, the dog got an extra distance that night let me tell you!! I know never walk by that bit without reeling the lead back first let me tell you!!

cryhavoc · 25/03/2012 20:37

This wasn't on an official walk, but one one of Girldog's 'special' walks, when she escapes from the garden (or house) and takes herself for a wander.

The cat from two doors down was on our shed roof, taunting the dogs, but slipped. Cat (thankfully) legged it over the two fences to its own garden, followed closely by Girldog.

Cat dives through catflap in neighbour' back door, again, closely followed by Girldog. Luckily for everyone, except for poor Girldog, cat flaps aren't designed for 8 stone rottweilers, so her head was the only part of her that managed to get through. The rest of her clattered into the door with a massive crash, scaring Mrs Two-Doors-Down witless.

swooosh · 25/03/2012 20:46

stolen picnics, taken a sausage off a disposable bbq...

kirrinIsland · 25/03/2012 20:48

Mine came across a cyclist who was laying in the grass having a rest and stood on him, licking his face. She was a big dog, and the poor guy was obviously a bit tense to say the least - I was mortified.

MirandaGoshawk · 25/03/2012 20:53

Oh my, this has made me cry. Thank you. Makes my little Genghis JRT pup sound like a little angel. Smile
