    We put up with so much from our dog - chewing shoes, toys, furniture etc. However on Saturday night he decided to wee on our bed. :mad: Luckily we weren't in it at the time!

    Go on then, share your horror stories.... :eek:

    Roxy - German Shep - rescued from the pound gave birth to 6 pups 4 weeks after we got her (OK this is a good thing and a bad thing depending on if i am playing with the puppies or cleaning up the poo-pee's mess)

    Tyson - Lab/Boxer - removed every single plant and tree and shrub from the in-laws garden when we lived there for a while when i first moved over.

    Fluffy - 16 year old Cairn - pee's and poops regularly in the house as she's getting on a bit

    PooPee's - i don't have grass now, i have a mud bath

    My Granny had the most religous dog in Ireland a german shepard, Major, used to break out and make a bee line for the church around the corner, the parish priest was none impressed especially when he decided to make an appearance during sunday mass.

    Our first dog was a jack russell cross. It was a ****ty day one day and she decided (as she so often did) to go outside and roll in the mud. So she got a bath. Of course, someone left the door open and she made a beeline straight for the garden and proceeded to roll in the muck again, this time with a wet coat, ending up twice as dirty than before her bath. The dog was white, so she was a dirt magnet.

    My parents newish Jack Russels are messers. Two boys, brothers, just over a year old. My mum came home one day to find her mobile phone in their cage, chewed to pieces.

    So she gets a new phone, and the next day comes home to find her new phone and her glasses, in the cage, chewed to pieces. One of the little bastards had discovered that he can get up onto a chair and from there onto the kitchen table and took that as an opportunity to eat stuff.

    Ate an entire PlayStation 1.

    Was shítting metal for weeks. No idea how she didn't have any internal damage.

    She left about half of a controller for me. Very considerate she was.

    I have had Cavalier King Charles spaniels for years and love them to bits. Their health needs to be monitored heavily in their later years but their affection and companionship more than makes up for the downside. One of my favourite dogs, a male Blenheim called Louis, died in July at the stunning age of 16. He had been deaf pretty much since he was a year old and we taught him a form of sign language to which he responded well. Thus he would come, go, sit, lie down etc on command. However he had his own foibles that added to his charm (most of the time).

    However he had a thing about shredding paper. Thus trying to use newspaper to keep the stone tiled kitchen floor free of foot treads while it is drying (having been scrubbed) was a stunning challenge. He would reduce it to badly displaced confetti. His approach to the challenge was curious. He would begin by ripping paper into more manageable components before selecting one or two specific pieces for more detailed treatment. This usually involved chewing it into papier mache which he would then spit out. He rarely seemed to eat it.

    However on one occasion my wife and I were preparing to go on a motoring holiday through the English shire counties and I had been to the bank and obtained £500 in Bank of England notes which I placed inside my wallet. At some time during the course of the day Louis had accessed the wallet from the edge of the kitchen and removed the notes which were subjected to his own unique treatment. What I found was a lot of pulped linen paper lying around the floor and my dog sitting upright in his bed wearing a halo of innocence.

    No a single £20 note was retrievable or capable of being handed in to a bank for exchange. His capacity to chew the reference numbers off both the left and right side of every single note was stunning. It proved to be an expensive holiday that year.

    Elly - boxer - Has eaten

    6 raw pork chops from the kitchen counter
    a full tray of chocolate brownies
    alot of socks

    She was sick for a week after the brownie incident, but amazingly didnt batt an aye after eating 6 raw pork chops.

    On top of that, she loves rolling around in dead fish on the beach for some reason.

    But then she looks at me with those big brown eyes, and I just cant get mad at her!

    Actually murderous intent came to mind!

    My two also love paper, they're generally very good but they're only 6months and a 18 months so I've many years of fun to come.
    On more than one occasion a little head has appeared round the livingroom door with a bit of toilet tissue hanging from the mouth. Then as you get up tp remove it they run into the kitchen or garden trailing the entire length of a roll, believe me the andrex puppy has nothing on these two, they can unravel an entire roll without a break.
    We now keep the toilet roll up on a shelf over the toilet and leave a note on the dispenser for guests.:D
    The worst thing he did was eat my daughter homework, half the copy book, that made her cry(and the teacher laugh!)
    Here's a pic of Ollie reading the Sunday paper
    this took about a minute

    I have a collie/shepard cross.While we were on a weekend away he was staying with the inlaws on their farm and decided to run away around the countryside for a week.It cut our weekend away short and then we spent over a week 16/18 hours of the day searching for him,sleeping in the car at night with one of us awake all the time keeping an eye out,walking through miles and miles of fields of rushes and bog,calling to countless houses,printing hundreds of posters and giving them out.After 7 days we caught him and it turned out he was sleeping in the inlaws shed everynight and disappearing before everyone rose in the morning,little fecker:eek:

    He also travels everywhere with me in my work van.I was away in Wales one weekend and herself had the van.She left him in it[which i usually do] while she was doing the shopping and for some reason he tore my whole van to shreds,windows,doors,dash,seats! Lets just say at present im very cold in the van some days with the draft from my make shift windows.:D

    That made me laugh..sorry :o i can just imagine your face at the time.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,596 ✭✭✭anniehoo


    This is going back 10 or so years ago when Bonnie was really young..and hyper.:o I brought her to the shops and in my wisdom thought itd be a great idea to tie her lead to the bin outside (that wasnt nailed to the ground). Mid shopping i hear really loud grating, people yelling and a car horn going mental.

    Panic!

    Ran out of the shop to see my dog and ..the bin tearing across the shopping centre car park :eek: with a ridiculously furious driver literally sitting on his car horn with anger as the bin whacked off the front of his car. Luckily he calmed down and saw the funny side when he realised there was no damage to the car..but major lesson learned on my part.

    Yorkie; Gnawed the corner off a huge container of baby talcum powder & then dragged it around the upstairs until he'd succeeded in completely emptying it.

    He then proceeded to shred about six nappies ( thank god they were un-used).

    We figured it was just acting out when my sisters baby arrived :rolleyes:

    I love the pic - "WHO, MEEEEE?"

    What was even funnier was the cat on the armchair looking on with interest and the dog kept looking at him as if to say "It was HIM!"

    Try this for a picture of innocence. The trouble is you never know what's going on inside that head. Furry logic maybe

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 699 ✭✭✭aoife2k


    My boxer pup aged 6 months jumped in the window of my mums car, took her coin purse(for parking meters and stuff) with her and proceeded to run circles around the garden with coins flying all over the place.. that was 2 months ago and we're still finding 20c's everywhere!!! She's soooo cheeky!

    I've recently been made unemployed, so as you can imagine, every penny counts. I had left a few euro and my redundancy cheque in my purse, ready to go to the bank the next day.

    I got up, the purse was nowhere to be seen. I franticaly searched for about an hour. I was about to cancel all of my cards and ring the job to cancel the cheque but I decided to call my OH first, just to check he was 100% sure he hadn't moved it. So I was on the phone, strolling around the back garden. There, up under a little tree was my soaking wet purse with some chew marks. :eek: The dog also had a stash of cooking utensils, a plastic cup, 2 tea towels and a bar of soap :confused: He must have been robbing bits and pieces for ages and hiding them up the back of the garden.

    our dog ruined our back yard, and bit the hose pipe apart, that goes from the gas cylinde to the gas oven in the house.

    ate the inside of the dishwasher....

    A few years ago I had a couple of magic blue tabs(viagra and for recreational use ha)....anyway was going out with the gf(now wife)at the time and had one in my wallet and planned to put it to good use :eek:

    Anyway during the night my wallet must have fell outa my pocket and unknown to me her dog had gotten hold of it....he was lying in front of me jaws going goodo and I must have said to myself at least twice `little b*****x has my wallet` before it dawned on me he had my nights entertainment too.

    Jumped up frantically but it appeared I was to late, it was gone and I knew where.

    Im sure he had an interesting night as remember been asked did I think he was ok as he was bit restless.....I wonder why.

    Maybe its just as well they cant talk.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,145 ✭✭✭SarahSassy


    You are all scaring the life out of me. So far we have been lucky (its hard to keep typing with all my fingers crossed) in that the worst he has done was eat a book edge and a pair of my (much loved but my own fault for leaving them there) sandals.... If he has loads of toys etc to eat is it still likely that he will chew all round him eventually?

    My dogs are always up to mischief. I've come home on a number of occasions to find the kitchen strewn with half-eaten food and two very bloated dogs waiting for me. They can both open the fridge! For ages I was convinced it was our staffy that was doing it until one day I caught the pug in the act! The worst thing is that he always goes for the butter. He will eat a whole pound of it and then have the runs for a week afterwards. Not very nice to clean up after!!

    Our staffy also ate the detergent drawer and all the knobs off our washing machine when she was younger. We decided to crate her after that. When I came home after crating her for the first time I couldn't believe what she'd done. Not only had she broken out of her own crate, she'd also opened our pug's crate so he could be free aswell! Then the two of them broke in to the fridge and had a feast - all in the space of an hour!

    We still love them though :D:D

    My two German Pointers can open the back door and came in two christmases ago - the whole family were in bed after our feast at dinner time, came back down and wondered why the turkey plate was in pieces on the floor:confused:

    The two feckers had eaten everything that should have lasted us a week at least :( they even ate the trifle :mad:

    Needless to say the two witches didnt get fed for at least a week after :D
