It’s a good job I love him…

I had a new carpet fitted in the lounge this afternoon. It wasn’t down an hour when DDog went in to sniff around and promptly threw up on it. Luckily it seems to have cleaned up ok, but seriously! And of course I now have a bloody vet bill in to the bargain.

What have your dogs got up to that’s left you thinking “it’s a good job I love you…”

My parents’ dog was sick on the brand new rug. They had a new cream carpet at the same time and the fitters who had delivered both were still in the house when it happened.

About a month later the same dog chewed a black sharpie on the previously mentioned cream carpet.

my dog when she was still a puppy kept weeing on dp’s prized sheep skin rug. I secretly thanked her for it as I can’t stand it. Well scrubbed and scrubbed it clean so whilst not white and it’s rather tatty now it’s stayed for some reason. Well now the dog likes pulling the fluff out of it. I turn a blind eye and appreciate her good taste in rugs 😂😂

My male lab ( what else) ate the remains of a very stinky, very dead rabbit on a walk. My female wouldn’t go near it, it was so very very bad.

Several hours later, in the middle of the night, he took himself through to our bedroom and barfed it up on the floor. I do like to think he was trying to get to DH to be taken out

Oh my god the stench 🤢

But I miss him so very much 🐾❤️

Such manky digs, it really is a good job we love them so much.

@CrushingOnRubies I admire your parents perseverance with the cream floor coverings. I’m about to replace the previously cream hall carpet with something dirty dog coloured.

My darling cocker spaniel found a rotting rabbit carcass in a field once, and was gone with it before I could scream "You dare". He carried it around for around 5 minutes before I managed to grab hold of his collar. It wasn't until I got him home and he'd been in the house for a bit that I realised he had half a million fleas having a party all over his head.... took me bloody ages to wash them all off with flea shampoo in the bath, he had to have 2 lots of stuff from the vets and I had to flea treat the entire house. It took nearly 3 weeks to get rid of them. And I was covered from head to foot in flea bites.

That made all the rolling in fox poo seem the lesser of his evils.....

DDog1 ate human poo that she discovered in one of the old WW2 lookout posts along the coast. I know it was human poo because she was merrily chewing the remains of the tissue as she galloped back to us.

She's normally quite ladylike in her tastes so this was quite a startling turn of events. I'm somewhat delicate of nose and swear I could smell it on her breath for days after 🤮

How annoying.

We don’t have rugs anymore. Our dogs shat, pissed and vomited on them. I’m not getting more dogs after these last two die.

My youngest is a poo eater. Only that of her sisters and only in the garden.

Sometimes when we go outside for bedtime wees, she'll get to one before I do and snaffle it up. Then we go to bed and she'll lie with her little head on the pillow, breathing in my face.

No love in the world is enough for that. 🤢

Our two are the same! So disgusting! The eldest also eats snails! Nightmare!
