Worst thing your dog has done?

Boomtastic

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:

Mr. Presentable

Got around the back of the TV and p*ssed into it on the day he arrived. It was on. TV went pop and died, dog got the fright of its life

princess-lala

New white bed sheets + dog in heat = disaster

Or on our lovely white sofa

We still love her though

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.

liah

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!

TheScribbler

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!)

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

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.

fishfoodie

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:

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

Just off the phone to the OH there, he has just come home to a defomed couch :mad: He was only gone for an hour!!!

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!

Whispered

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 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.

Chiaki

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.

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?

clairem

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

princess-lala

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

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

Demonique

Jedder used to go behind the sofa for a poo on the carpet when he was a pup. We never got the stain from the repeated poos completely out. Before we got the carpet my mother was considering getting a wooden floor, she regretted not getting it. We have a wooden floor there now.


The worst thing Jedder did was kill two guinea pigs, he killed one within hours of my sister buying him (he managed to get the hutch open), my sister bought a new guinea pig a few days later and two years later Jedder got him in the garden.

ghost_ie

Came home the Sunday before last after visiting the folks to find the dogs had somehow managed to get into a cupboard and removed 3 packets of pasta, a large pack of noodles and a sachet of chow mein sauce. The packaging and what they hadn't eaten was strewn over the floor and down the back of settee and chairs. The only one with the grace to look ashamed of herself was the eldest. The other two sat looking innocent while directing "it was her" glances at her, but this was rather spoiled by the youngest suddenly pouncing on some tagliatelli and devouring it.

They all had the nerve to look miffed when their dinner wasn't forthcoming at the usual time

Cass

Elly (my rotty) decided that as punishment for me leaving her indoors, in a warm bed, with fresh water and food she would chew and crap on my new €600 pig skin leather jacket. God help me it was only out of the shop and never on my back. Went berserk but looked down at a 6 month old rotty puppy and suddenly the jacket didn't seem important. Damn dog has my number.






PS - Gave the jacket an appropriate burial.

Harris

My Golden Retriever ate one of my books....."Marlay and Me". I swear to Dog it's true!!

I love the idea of a secret hiding place for canine treasures. My sister has a Jack Russell bitch that is utterly eccentric. About a year ago the dog would disappear from a well fenced garden for hours at a time.

One day her husband caught sight of the animal struggling to pull a very large doll by the hair through the hedge into their garden. Watching with interest he noted that she excavated a giant hole in one of several large flower pots at the back of a garden terrace and proceeded to immerse the doll into it head first then cover it over with soil, leaving the legs upright all akimbo like some alien tree. Closer inspection identified some 9 or 10 teddy bears and miscellaneous soft toys that were similarly semi buried in other strategic locations.

My sister harvested them all and set about washing & drying the 'once loved' appendages with a view to returning them to the neighbour whose little girl must have been missing her toys. 'Oh dear,' said the neighbour on being offered the large bag of booty with fluffed up fur and neatly pressed doll's clothes, 'actually none of these are ours!'

My sister never did find out who owned the mislaid goodies and the dog stopped her spate of kidnapping. Or so my sister thought! Yesterday a fluffy toy rabbit was discovered at the back of the hydrangeas, buried with only his head and ears blowing in the wind, prompting another animal rescue!

Lola92

Yogi, our pom/jack russell cross ripped up the lino in the hallway of my boyfriends appartment last night! :eek:

In the days that nylon carpets were fashionable, I had a 6 month old boxer who shredded most of a hall carpet in an afternoon, having chewed several legs of the kitchen table the day before.

My Irish terrier cross is dead now, but she left a legacy of bad deeds including

Stealing a bottle from a baby
chasing winos out of bushes
chasing couples out of bushes:)
stealing a birthday cake off the table
stealing a prize from a funfair - it was a teddy, and she slept with it in her bed from that day till she died.

In her favour she also
flushed out some drug dealers by barking loudly at them
found a wallet on the beach
cleaned up the local neighbourhood by eating all the rubbish on her walks.
was the best buddy I ever had...

never ever get a labrador! 3 yrs ago I got the most adorable lab pup his name is Murphy. 3yrs on I have aged about 5yrs. Here are some of the things he did to me. He chewed the carpet on the side of the stairs (this was his only offence indoors because he moved out to his new wooden dog house when he got bigger) so after that, he chewed 2 lovely beds to bits, left over carpet was put down in his house ..TWICE..to give him some comfort he pulled that up, he then ate the floor off his house, then the door and then the felt off the roof, he wasnt happy until his house was destroyed, then he had cheek to look at me with his puppy eyes when he was sitting in his house soaking wet with no comfy place to lie!!! He then ate my gully lids and blocked the drains with all his toys, pulled 3 different vents for the tumble dryer off the wall, pulled the pipe for the dishwasher off the wall, ate the tube for the outside tap....TWICE, ate my garden bench, pulled panels off my side gate (had to get new gate)pulled the pipe for the oil and 300 euro worth of oil leaked out and burnt the grass, ate the broadband wire..TWICE.. 120 euro a go to get it fixed!!! I could go on forever, He has made me cry so many times but I love him, I used to dread getting phonecalls from my boyf he was home from work before me so he had to face the damage and destruction first then he would ring me to tell me, he has quietened down alot the destruction has ceased but then what did we do? we went off and got him a friend now we have a little springer he is 11mths old now, has done a bit of harm but nothing to the extent that Murph did. We love them both though.

~Thalia~

I'm almost 33 years old and since the small age of 3 I have had a Pink panther bear that has been through the mill with me. Pinky was there for all major events as a child and as an only child was my lifelong friend. I'm ashamed to admit that up to his demise I still slept with him in the bed.

Last year, left the house to go shopping and to my utmost regret I left the door to the bedroom open when I came home Pinky was in a thousand pieces on the kitchen floor thanks to my Germand Shep. I cried like a BABY for about an hour (pathetic, I know)

That's th worst she has done apart from the designer shoes, numerous tea towels, shed loads of cusions, himself's wellies, gloves, pillows, socks I could go on and on and on!

Mink

I don't have a dog nor did I ever (cat person & not home enough for a dog) but this thread is hilarious!

Aoifums

When my dog was about five months old, she mamaged to pull my brother's school jumper off the line and chew off a giant circle from the front.
She also ate one of my headphones. Just the one ear though.

MrMicra

Walking through Dubin city centre she picked up a massive human turd in her mouth. She was quite pleased with herself!

We live by the local GAA pitch.
Golden Retriever had a fondness for running over during training sessions, grabbing the sliotars and bringing them home.
We've a sack full of them, we'll return them one of these days. The GAA club must be broke from constantly replacing the sliotars

The GAA club got lottery funding and build a new stand. The county hurling team and the neighbouring county staged an exhibition match to open the new ground.
Local radio was there and TG4 showed the game

Lousy dog ran onto the pitch, stole the ball and delayed the game twice! It's there on TG4 for anyone to see.
Shamed on national TV

My husky at 5 months ate a salmon . We had taken it out and left it on the shelf not thinking he could reach it.
We left the room for 5 minutes and came back to cook it and it was not there . An empty plastic back was on the ground and a very guilty look.

SarahSassy

Eaten his (now old) bed.

*Lees*

Our little pup Ozzie has been nicknamed 'Ozzie The Destroyer!"

He is 7 months old now and so far has..

Pulled out the eyes and nose from his 1st teddy bear before ripping its face off and tearing out the insides!!
Same as above with second stuffed dog teddy!
Broke 2 sets of ipod earphones that he managed to pull from countertop and table! (he bit into the ear pieces till they were no good!)
Eaten a section of a cushion from the sitting room!
He hated his doggy seatbelt so I tied him to the normal seatbelt using his lead about 10 seconds later I looked and he had managed to chew through it!! He also got hold of 2 more leads and chewed right through them!!!
Depotted every plant in the garden... ate every branch from my dad's favourite tree! Broken every flower pot plastic and ceramic in the garden!
He stole a packet of cigarettes from my dads friend, he was sitting on a step in the garden with his cigarettes beside him!! Ozzie then proceeded to tear every cigarette in the box into tiny pieces! He also did the same to my boyfriend but we think he actually took them out of his pocket when he wasn't looking!!!!!
He has also broken 3 cups by throwing them in the air! (He throws plastic plant pots in the air and chases them as a game.. so obviously thought cups would be fun!)
He broke a picture frame and then tried to eat the glass, my dad had taken them from the shed to be thrown out while he was tidying and ozzie robbed one without him knowing... we were lucky he didn't hurt himself!
He tore all the foam from his insulation then dragged it from his kennel and left it in the rain!! He ate the door and roof of his kennel!
We got him a new kennel on monday, he has already broken the flap, we think it was when he tried to drag his new carpet out of his kennel it must have gotten stuck but he kept pulling untill it snapped!! He has also started to chew random pieces from his new kennell!!
There's loads of other things he has destroyed, lots of shoes, the legs of my pants.. sleeves of jumpers.. he is seriously crazy.

The very worst thing Ozzie has done by far is killed a hen. We have a few in the garden and he ignores them. They are sectioned off and doesn't bother with them! My dad got a new hen about a month ago and the other hens completely rejected her and used to bully her so much that she used to jump over the fence! My dad opened the back door one afternoon and ozzie was standing there with the new hen in his mouth... she was still alive but died a few minutes later, there wasn't any blood, we think she might have died from shock.

Then he looks at you like this...

Molberts

Lets start with stuff they've eaten - this is all as puppies they've (mostly) grown out of it now.

Skirting boards, carpet, banisters, wall :eek:

Countless shoes - usually gotten to by molly opening the bedroom door then the wardrobe door :rolleyes: so they can all bail in and chomp away on my lovely shoes

handbags, underwear, tights ( most fun incident being when Lucky was a puppy and he presented his bum for me to pull out some remains of tights he had eaten without us knowing - SO lucky he passed them with no complications!)

I once came out of the shower to find Molly sitting with her head in her paws looking really guilty/sorry ... I looked in the bedroom and she'd managed to pull a JIMMY CHOO sandal off the top of the wardrobe and started chomping away on it, luckily they were able to replace the heel for me and it looks ok now.

Another time we had to rush Lucky to the vet as *somehow* molly had managed to get one of those kids "tub o farm animals" toys down off a high shelf and lucky had eaten most of the plastic animals, the tub lid and the plastic mat - he was squirting out bits of plastic chickens etc all evening

They wrecked a budda bag.

peed on just about everything I own, I once got peed on too! :eek:

Ah but theyre so cute though :pac:

This little monster, Blaze

http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c100/battlescars_/?action=view&current=blaze1.jpg

is house trained and generally well behaved, but when he gets excited.. oh sweet hypothetical Jesus.
I brought him up to my sister's house (he goes mental when he sees her) on Christmas day a year or two ago, and he proceeded to pee all over her Christmas tree and couch. Bye bye fairy lights.

My parents usually go to Spain for three months during the Summer, and last year when they came back, he got so excited that he ran from the back garden to my parents bedroom and back again a good ten times or so, culminating in him pooping on their bed.

He's managed to get his paws on and eat a packet of 20 cigarettes, a stick of hard butter and numerous towels and socks.
