    This morning I woke up to this

    vGEwj.jpg.

    My brand new earphones for my iphone.. completely destroyed with doggy teeth marks all over. Worst thing is I have 2 dogs and I don't know which one did the damage or whether they double teamed.

    What's the naughtiest thing your pet ever done. Include pics if possible.

    Puppy is only 5 months old has already destroyed 3 phone chargers, tv cable, lots of pairs of socks and toilet rolls. Forget paper training or puppy pads he rips them all to shreds.

    Our Lab has eaten way more than I can count at this stage, countless boxes of tissues, always goes for the dear Kleenex ones too, lidl don't taste as nice apparently! Socks, my pair of Vans from New York :eek:, mp3 charger, OH's runners, the list goes on, but the naughtiest thing ever was eating the house alarm wire at 11pm the night before we were going on holidays, knew she was too quiet in the hallway! Cue two of us frantically trying to figure out how to inhibit zones on our alarm, with no manual and panicked heads on us! I think she knew she was going into kennels the next day, despite it being her very first time in them :D

    Our newest addition since Saturday is already catching up to her, tore chunks out of the kitchen door frame this morning because he wanted to get up at 6am and we didn't.......

    Ours are generally great about chewing things but Sindy is tall enough to counter surf effectively, and last Sunday I lost a nice frshly baked scone, jam, cream the lot, just before my sister was due over for Sunday lunch. She didn't even share it with the the little guy who kept looking at me as if to say "no fair"

    Perhaps I shouldn't give them samples of my baking, they obviously like it too much :D

    Oh and Fargo loves the my worn panties and regularly chews his way through the crotch completly or nearly completely. The amount of mornings I've gone to work, and about 10am headed to the loo only to see how badly the panties have been chewed through. I'm obviously still asleep at 7.30 sm when I'm putting them on :D

    Had the big fella steal half my burger out of my hand today while I was talking to someone. Bastard snuck around from behind my chair, grabbed it and ran. :rolleyes: They haven't chewed much except for one of the trees; they've nearly killed it between them by stripping off all the bark

    Years ago i brought my dog on a fairly run of the mill walk to the local shop.Wrapped her lead around a fairly sturdy bin outside, which she was well used to. Went inside...well...

    "Claaaang,clattttter, baaaaang,whaaaaaaack......etc etc" Me inside wondering what the hell is the commotion outside. Penny drops!

    "Feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeck
    !!!"

    I run outside, to find Bonny...and the extendable lead (very extended) tearing around the carpark, dragging the very heavy metal bin along with her!She luckily missed every single parked car in her escapade!:eek:

    When i say "years ago"...i was probably about 17/18...so hope im forgiven :o

    My dog ate our neighbours Budgie. Neighbour came over roaring about how the dog has eaten their Budgie and I was saying no way that's possible and next thing the dog comes flying around the corner and into the kitchen with a yellow feather sticking out of her mouth.

    Dog killed one of my baby chickens :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,729 ✭✭✭Acoshla


    She ate her own food bowl, opened a press in the utility room and chewed through the boiler pipe twice in a week, lucky she wasn't killed. Chewed through the wires connecting the lights of my inlaws trailer to their jeep in a few minutes. She also ate my boyfriend's birthday fry up off his plate when he left the room to grab something in the sitting room. She ate my retainers (dentist not impressed), ate the copper wire in the pipe behind bathroom sink, ate a fresh baked loaf of bread......

    Twice I've had the fridge and freezer completely emptied and everything ( including frozen foods ) eaten.

    I've a Jewish friend with 2 rescue labs and they stole the special lunch laid on for his nephews Bar Mitzvah - serious trouble over that I can tell ya !

    My late grandmother was lying snoozing on her recliner when my terrier cross Meg - who is a very 'solid' dog, not fat or anything, just a bit stocky - decided to leap right onto my grandmother, gave her a big slobby lick on the face, then jumped off, went into her crate & fell asleep.

    My grandmother was a hundred years old at the time and I wanted her to have a nap and just rest so I could do things around the house so that was the naughtiest thing Meg could have done. Because it set my grandmother off shaking her fist, swearing and cursing. She told me my dog was from Hell and that I was to dig a hole and put her in it and never let her out. Then she told me that I was a b*tch just like my dog.

    I was very cross with Meg but as I'd been awake all night with my grandmother shouting and calling and not sleeping (despite being on sedatives), I have to admit I really wanted to retort "People who sleep at night don't get dogs jumping on them!" because that would have been super logical! When she calmed down, I said to my grandmother that Meg didn't mean it, that she loved her to which my grandmother replied, "Oh I know that & I love her too. But her love can be a scary thing!" Heh!

    all the bloody recycling...

    When we were staying in a cottage last year they managed to get into the bin, get some fish guts, and rub them into one of the sun loungers. Not one place in the village sold sun loungers, so I had to leave money and an apologetic note. It was my OH's relatives' place too, I still feel sheepish about it, but at least they have a dog so they understand.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,772 ✭✭✭✭Whispered


    Harley broke into the kitchen bin once, it just so happened that I had cleaned out my spice cupboard earlier that day. The bin was full of chilli, cumin etc. You could see the trail of destruction, knocked bin,
    small trail of powerdy chilli along the floor to bed,
    chilli powder spread over the bed & adjacent wall where it burst when he bit down on the cardboard tube,
    big pool of chilli coloured slobber in the bed
    drops of chilli drool to the (now chilli coloured) water bowl,
    a few more drops of slobber towards the sitting room door
    pool of chilli vomit
    Sheepish looking dog

    He never went near the bin ever again :rolleyes:

    He's a perfect height to counter surf too, my husband made a bacon sandwich, cut it in half, and left it on the counter while he ran upstairs, he came down to half a sandwich and assumed I had eaten the other half. He sat down, enjoyed his half.... until it dawned on him that I don't eat bacon.

    Our latest one, poor little phoe has managed to put himself in a bandage and e-collar after climbing up on Harleys crate, about 4 times his height, to get the food I had left on top. I came downstairs to find blood all over the floor and a very very full looking Phoe wagging his little bum. He had caught his paw in the crate and ripped a nail out. :rolleyes:

    Oh hell where do start:rolleyes: 9 beds killed, skirting destroyed, door frame gone, 3 pairs of trainers(including one of the boys friends) all flower beds/pots emptied despite us supposedly puppy proofing them after the first one went, dining room chair gone, peeing on new futon, peeing on friends foot, washing all over the house, socks and knickers must taste nice.

    As theres 2 of them never know which one it is and all this is thanks for the toys that they have all over the house, not to mention chews everywhere, 2 walks a day, ball games in the garden, daily training, play classes twice a week and all the attention they demand.

    Its a good job we love them :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,634 ✭✭✭✭Graces7


    Learned early on to be very tidy; after losing a knitting needle,.

    Even so, collie managed last night to make confetti of a padded envelope I had no idea she could reach.. She once got at a whole pack of toilet rolls,, thought it had snowed.. gives "recycled" a new meaning,

    But it is good to see her playful.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,752 ✭✭✭cyrusdvirus


    i've also got 2, but considering nothing was ever chewed when it was just one, i figure it's safe to assume that the trail of destruction that has been wrought through the house since Christmas last year is down to Destructo-Pup.

    5 petbed liners.
    2 Kitchen chairs (not too bothered about them, they were left in the house by previous owners)
    2 Dining room Chairs (I WAS bothered about them!! :))
    Countless Socks (but only ever 1 of a pair, not both....:rolleyes:)
    Salt cellar.... Dont ask me why....
    Place mats and coasters.
    2 remote controls
    All the cushions on the 2 seater sofa in the office


    Oh yeah, the tax disc for the car!! :)
    To be honest, all of the above resulted in 5 seconds of AH SHIT followed by ABBEY!!!! Cue her self running to the corner with the tail a wagging and a 'play with me' look on her face.... even though there is loads of playtime and walk time!!


    Most annoying though has been the past week since she came back from Kennels, there have been one or 2 'accidents' in the kitchen overnight.... which didn't happen before i went away.
    That is vexing me, cos we've had to go back to basics again with the toilet training.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 326 ✭✭evilmonkee


    In my parents house there was an agreement with our neighbour across the road (country side) that her dog and my dog (when I was about 14) were very good friends and were allowed wander over to each other, into the others house etc.

    So one day I looked out into the garden to see my beautiful retreiver trotting down the garden, tail waving proudly in the air carrying an entire sunday lunch chicken in his mouth....

    Turns out he was in my neighbours when she left it on the counter, he popped his front paws up on the counter, grabbed it and ran (very happily) away....

    :o

    (PS. that didnt break the agreement - she's a wonderful woman)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,531 ✭✭✭Tranceypoo


    Our family dog years ago used to pull the bin onto the floor and empty it all over the kitchen, very unpleasant to come home to. Once my dad just took a big boiled bacon out of the saucepan and put it on a plate on the table, went to answer the door, came back, no bacon, happy dog. She also ate a pair of his trousers including the money that was in the pocket (he wasn't wearing them at the time I should add!).

    Current dogs, older one had separation anxiety when I first got him from the rescue, he chewed skirting boards, dado rails, door frames, doors, tried to pull up the carpet, boxes of tissues, books, magazines and a photo album I just managed to save most of, thankfully he grew out of it! Newest addition doesn't seem to be a chewer thank goodness, the only thing she does if we're out is sometimes take a pair of trainers or slippers out of the shoe box by the door and sort of suck them and nibble them, but no real harm done and they're still wearable. Could be worse!!

    Oh my dog is so naughty, she is a GSD x. She has to date eaten

    beds
    cushions
    teddy bears
    She takes things off the clothes line and shreds them, never towels or sheets, just my dresses
    She has eaten magazines, newspapers, the entire contents of the bin
    She pulled not only the curtains down off the wall, but the whole curtain poll
    She ate a single bed, mattress, springs, legs and all
    She ate a sofa, cushions, wood and all
    A paddling pool
    and lots of little things around the house.

    We love her dearly!!

    Random destruction aside, the naughtiest thing the dog's done is swipe 3/4 of a block of cracker barrel extra sharp cheddar from the coffee table, leaving nowt but an empty packet on the floor. Didn't appear to do him any damage either.

    Cleo the cat is the naughtiest animal I have. She's a silver spotted tabby whose mother was a pure bred siamese - breeder had an oops litter and dumped them in the pound.

    Cleo has stolen my sausages out of the shopping bag, she throws my hair bobbins into the toilet, she's thieved the dog's defrosting raw food dinner (750g) out of the sink and dragged it across the floor to the cats' room, chewed a hole in the bag and spread defrosted blood all over the carpet. I was trying to trap feral kittens a few months ago, and there was a bag of kitten kibble in the laundry cupboard. Cleo got in, took the kibble bag (2kgs) out of the plastic bag it was in, then chewed a strip out of the tin wrapper of the kibble bag, and basically it was a free for all on kitten kibble in the hot press for weeks before I realised what she'd done. I was wondering why Frankie was turning into such a fatso. He was chowing down on kitten kibble on top of two meals a day!

    Cleo will reach up to rub her face off the dog's muzzle, then sit back to consider him, and if he blinks she'll slap him in the face.

    She has a miaow like a phaser (ptooe! ptooe!), she won't get off my kitchen counters, and she plays 'wall of death' around the inside of my bathtub at all hours of the morning if she gets the chance.

    It was just before Christmas & we had a mad little foster puppy with us. needed to go out to the shop for 20 mins - thought all would be grand!
    Wish I had had a camera to take the photographic evidence.

    She chewed 4 plant pots , there was mushed in soil all over my daughters bed & a long trail of much all the way around the house.. - she ate half her bed & chewed part of our leather couch :eek: - destroyed 3 recipe books & chewed through the heels of quite an expensive new pair of shoes! Learnt my lesson :)

    My books, my precious, precious text-books, eaten by a family dog.
    ...
    To be fair, he looked so remorseful that I did not stay angry. However, I never left them in the porch again. :)

    Cushion? What cushion?

    6ca4a.jpg

    On the plus side this photo won Coco the prize of a Dyson hoover!! Local pet shop ran a comp looking for pets making a mess!!

    She also ate an expensive duvet that was drying on the line, of course it was the expensive embroidered side not the plain fabric side.
    Many many slippers, a decent leather handbag, a few leads, a fabric muzzle, beds, toys, balls, tupperware...

    She's really good at not robbing food though. She usually waits for a command. Although one day she drank a cup of tea that had been left on the coffee table, drank the whole cup, without spilling!

    I decided to go back to college last year and had to negotiate both me and my dog bobby moving back to my parents house in the suburbs.
    They were fine with me but weren't to keen on Bob moving back home. Eventually I convinced them it would be fine, and that he was older now and had quietened down a lot (he had previously lived at home for the first two years of his life and he was a handful!).
    So we moved home, and on the first day I got a tour of the back garden that my mother had spent years building raised beds and greenhouses in and planting loads of fruit and vegetables.
    Two weeks later Bob decided he liked the taste of raspberries, so not only did he eat every berry off the canes, but then ate the canes as well, so they couldn't even regrow!
    I was mortified, and we both very nearly got our marching orders!! :o

    I moved my horse to a field about 4 miles from my house where she is normally kept. She was in it 4 days when she obviously decided she missed home so she broke out at some point during the early hours of the morning and arrived back home. My dad was heading out for work at 6am and saw her. She was after coming through the lawns (left loads of hoofprints) and saw no one was around to let her into her usual field so was outside the front gate grazing until she was spotted. She wouldn't even be familiar with the roads she had come home on, having only been on them twice before so she must have a fecking good internal GPS in her!

    Our Labrador mix is a character and as a puppy was a handful!

    He used to take all the washing off the line and drag it around the garden, cue the washing machine doing the same load 2 or 3 times over. Nearly killed him for that!! :D Thankfully he has grown out of that!!

    He pulled the television out of the wall. And destoyed around 30 DVDs sitting beside it.

    He figured out how to open the fridge and used to help himself to meals all of the time, was like an all you can eat buffet round here. Most annoying time was when he took a full strawberry cheesecake, DIDN'T like it so just ate the strawberries from off of the top. He then learned how to open the cabinets and helped himself to anything that was in them. This resulted in us going to a baby care store getting the necessary equipment to fully toddler proof our kitchen. :rolleyes:

    He eats countless amounts of socks and knickers when he gets the chance and destroys toilet rolls. He was also partial to eating skirting boards as a pup!

    He loves a good root in the bin and seems to enjoy spreading the contents out on the floor for a more detailed look!

    He quickly figured out how to open doors and was constantly letting himself into bedrooms for a good nose around, thieving :) or a snooze on the beds. Or he would let himself out of the front door and take himself for a nice walk. We would be sitting in the living room and his highness would pass by the front gate. This resulted us in having to lock every door in the house behind us and it felt like we were living in Mountjoy! The lil yoke! He's over that now thankfully!:D

    My Rottie, Ellie, went through a bad phase of chewing things as a pup. Not destructive as such, but whenever i wasn't in the room she would take to chewing on something, mostly items of my clothing. She then developed a taste for electronics. Luckily she grew out of it with a little training, and i haven't had a bother since. Items include:
    • €600 worth of leather jackets (2 of them. Still cry about that one. Never even got to wear one of them)
    • Playstation HDMI leads
    • Playstation controller
    • Zips or buttons (only) of mulitple pairs of jeans
    • Too many socks to count
    • Slippers
    • Brand new pair of kickers leather shoes
    • 4 indoor dog beds/cushions
    • 7 DVD covers
    It is annoying, but the funniest (not at the time) was the day i went out and bought a silly expensive piece of steak. Spent alot of time cooking it, with chips, onion rings, pepper sauce, the works. Went to sit down to enjoy my feast, but forgot the steak knife. Put the plate on the middle of the table (front room) and went to get knife. I was gone for about 40 seconds and when i came back the onion rings and chips were untouched, but no steak.

    I don't know why, but i thought i'd left it on the pan. When i went to go check the kitchen i hear a huge burp/belch, and there is Ellie with one of the most satisfied looks i've ever seen on a dogs face. All i could was ask was were the onion rings not done enough for her.:rolleyes:

    For a while the lock on our back door was playing up so all our lad had to do was press down on the handle and he was in. He done this one Sunday morning after my mam had put a nice big piece of roast beef on the work top to rest while she ran to the shop. Scooby got in and helped himself to the whole lot. Sunday dinner wasn't quite the same that week, but at least he was sat in his corner looking contented. He didn't move for most of the day after he'd finished it.

    Our newly rescued boxer devoured 5 blue velvet cupcakes in a matter of nanoseconds while I was out of the room. She appeared to have a wicked sugar hangover aferwards. Shortly afterwards she began to poop greeny/blue; I was really worried, until I copped that it was the dye from the cupcakes :p

    More recently, she was left on her own in the car with a 15kg bag of food, and managed to devour about 5kg while I was in the post office for literally 5minutes:rolleyes:

    I also have a corgi with a penchant for chewing shoes, he destroyed two gorgeous pairs of boots on me, but I know now to keep all footwear out of his way:p The cats are very well behaved, by contrast:D

    I'd spent Christmas with the family and I was getting a lift back to Maynooth, with my pet rabbit (named Rebel) in the car. She's very nervous travelling, and I always have her carry cage on my lap but with the top off so I can stroke and reassure her.

    This one time she nestled her head in between my arm and body, and I thought to myself "Aww, what a cutie." It was only after I got back to Maynooth and out of the car that I learned that while she was tucked under my arm she'd chewed through the cable of my headphones. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,302 ✭✭✭**Vai**


    When my GSD was a pup she ate the skirting board in my kitchen. She also managed even at a young age, to hop onto the kitchen table and eat the top off it. Oh and part of the door. Theres an advert for crate training. Thankfully shes grown out of that chewing stage now so no longer sleeps in her crate.

    If only we could communicate that to them at the beginning. "Dont chew stuff or you sleep in a crate for the next 6 months til I can trust you again". Evolve faster dammit dogs!

    Then there was the PS3 controller that my terrier took a dislike to plus the countless beds she destroyed as a pup.

    My degu's also played out their own little version of The Great Escape. Came down one morning to find they had managed to chew through the plastic part at the bottom of their old cage (got a much larger and more secure one since) and scarper. Found one sitting very calmly at the top of a rolled up mat having obviously climbed up there to get the best view he could. The other one had managed to get all the way up the stairs and into my spare bedroom. I still have no idea how but he was hiding under the bed when I found him.

    Random destruction aside, the naughtiest thing the dog's done is swipe 3/4 of a block of cracker barrel extra sharp cheddar from the coffee table, leaving nowt but an empty packet on the floor. Didn't appear to do him any damage either.

    Cleo the cat is the naughtiest animal I have. She's a silver spotted tabby whose mother was a pure bred siamese - breeder had an oops litter and dumped them in the pound.

    Cleo has stolen my sausages out of the shopping bag, she throws my hair bobbins into the toilet, she's thieved the dog's defrosting raw food dinner (750g) out of the sink and dragged it across the floor to the cats' room, chewed a hole in the bag and spread defrosted blood all over the carpet. I was trying to trap feral kittens a few months ago, and there was a bag of kitten kibble in the laundry cupboard. Cleo got in, took the kibble bag (2kgs) out of the plastic bag it was in, then chewed a strip out of the tin wrapper of the kibble bag, and basically it was a free for all on kitten kibble in the hot press for weeks before I realised what she'd done. I was wondering why Frankie was turning into such a fatso. He was chowing down on kitten kibble on top of two meals a day!

    Cleo will reach up to rub her face off the dog's muzzle, then sit back to consider him, and if he blinks she'll slap him in the face.

    She has a miaow like a phaser (ptooe! ptooe!), she won't get off my kitchen counters, and she plays 'wall of death' around the inside of my bathtub at all hours of the morning if she gets the chance.

    Siamese and their crosses are something else. One of mine could open the fridge door; grip the rubber seal with claws and lean back... Foiled that with white sticking plaster.

    One of my friends refers to Paddy as 'a very naughty boy'.

    His list of naughties :
    • Pulled the carpet off the stairs
    • Jumped on my bed and pee'd (while I was in it:eek:)
    • Countless books, dvd's, videos
    • Feather cushions
    • Pulled the bumper off my parents car
    • Ran over to a kids picnic while out on a walk and pee'd on it:o
    • All the garden furniture
    • My purse - with cashcard & 80 quid
    • Shoes
    • Always steals the other animals dinner
    Yes - he is a lab!;)

    And still I love him to bits x

    Oh forgot - 7 TV remotes, house phone, photo frames, bra's and always managed to get the collar off Dave the kitten - Dave never looked any worse for it so don't know how that feat was achieved

    I think I've been very lucky! A few robbed sandwiches here and there seem like nothing compared to some of the things on this thread.

    I have several 'test digs' in my garden also, that this fella and his sister are both responsible for!

    Pets these days, no conception of planning permission. :pac:

    Our cats have destroyed our leather three-piece, two-piece and armchair in the living room over the last couple of years. They decided to use the font of the arm rests as scratching posts. :mad:

    Also, they've ruined the carpet on the front of the bottom step in the hall and also the top step by the landing where they lie on their backs and then scratch the Bejaysus out of it.

    The curtains also have a few pinprick holes in them where one of them still occasionally climbs them.

    Still wouldn't change it for the world though. :)

    When we first got Rodney he chewed a hole in the kitchen wall (yes, the wall - through the plaster and down into the brick), stolen socks, eaten speaker wire which I'd run under floorboards - he helpfully chewed and ate the only piece visible so the whole lot had to be redone, was a master counter-surfer and managed to snaffle the whole Christmas ham AND a whole turkey crown, including tin-foil which were left to rest before carving and has ruined countless remote controls by peeing on them.

    Thankfully after training the worst he gets up to these days is opening the doors, climbing up on the windowledge and sitting in the window like a huge cat waving at passers by. He's a 22kg border collie and leaves snot marks all over the glass...

    Destroyed a 50 year old rocking chair, ate all my shoes, ate money, 'buried' a bone I'd given her 4 days earlier in the pillows in my bed, brought birds as gifts (she's a dog!!), left secret poos all over the place. Thankfully 14 years later she's completely calmed down...and I wouldn't change anything about her past or present :)

    Had a suprise dinner for my dads birthday. Collected the cake and left in my bedroom during dinner, nothing left but crumbs (even candles gone). For 2 days after, the dog groaned with pains in her belly circling the garden...doggy bags replaced with Dunnes Stores size bags :(
