That dog was high on teddy chewing - had to be chased and tackled to the ground! I think these are hilarious, my two would have a huge list of the strange things they do ; p Whilst they don't (touch wood!) tend to chew things or anything, one of mine is a kleptomaniac. Any clothes or anything he can carry gets swiped (literally will creep in the room watching you, swipe, zoom, gone!) and gently placed in his bed. He sign would read 'I'm a hoarder' By the way this includes feathers, big leaves, anything he finds and thinks is a 'treasure' My girl on the other hand pretends to be dead to get out of doing things, in the past (when she was new to us) she faked a limp so she didn't have to run. We rushed her straight to the vet who figured that one out really quick as she forgot which leg to limp with and swapped, then ran after a treat he threw. Weirdly he laughed and said he'd seen this before?! Oh and she also comes over for a belly rub, farts then gets up and walks away like 'phew, thanks for helping with that one.....yeah I'm leaving your stinky chair now.....'

Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 We used to live in a house with a one legged sock thief... I now live in a house with a fourlegged sock thief. My mum wears one white sock and one blue sock to golf - cos Evil Hound ate one of each. My mum has learned not to leave her (slightly unwashed) golf socks in the shoes by the back door. Our last family dog - destroyed a door stop that looked like a mouse in a bonnet (similar to beatrix potter character). Because my dad made the mistake of frightening her with it. So she snuck upstairs when nobody was around and killed it completely. Dad did not try that trick with the rat-brick door-stop so it lived considerably longer. I keep my grandmother's teddy bear where my dog cannot reach it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why, but she also has door issues (won't walk through a door unless no one is watching *eye roll*) so I'm sure the two are linked lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espinay2 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I do understand it would have been very distressing for the person to lose a treasured family heirloom, and I did my absolute best to empathise and speak to them in a respectful manner at the time. However, and I know this will sound dreadful, I had to ask a fellow rescuer to call back and organize the collection of the dog because I wasn't sure I could control myself a second time. It was optimistic at best to leave a young unknown dog loose to explore the house while they were out, but the way the person described the incident to me on the phone had me biting my lip, crossing my legs and squirming in my chair...................I needed to laugh out loud SO bad. I need to take a photo of myself with a sign that says, "I laugh at inappropriate moments!". I don't need a photo and sign for all the feral stuff my dogs do, I need a coffee table book!!! Obviously, I'm a very bad dog trainer. :) S Reminds me of when I was about 10, our new puppy ate part of the head of a very special teddy I had had since I was in hospital at age three (it was sitting on my night table). I cried a lot, but yes, forgave the puppy. As for signs, I can certainly think of a few for my lot :laugh: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sares Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) My frenchie is notorious for stealing any type of footwear. She doesnt chew them, she steals them the moment they are off your feet and walks just far enough away to try to get you to chase her. We of course tell her to drop it and she does. But its annoying when I am wearing slippers, I take them off to lay on the couch and she stealthily picks them up and the goes stands in front of the TV to show me she has it.

Her Majesty Dogmad Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 My dogs are all housetrained. I got home last night to find a dog turd with bits broken off, sitting on the sofa. I know who the culprit is - it's my Italian Greyhound. Every now and then she goes back to her old habits of eating other dogs' poo so we go back on the pineapple for a few days and she stops for a while. Tonight I get home to 3 piles of poo and 1 of vomit in the lounge room. God knows what had gone on - there had been a storm outside but this has never cause such a mess before .....

Simply Grand Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 The funnest thing about dogs IMO is that they have their own little minds and use them to outsmart us, in the most annoying ways! I've given up on pairs of socks, now if they're a similar colour and neither have too many teeth holes they'll do. Even tho I'm pretty good now at remembering to put them straight in the wash basket and close the door behind me, somehow the dogs still manage to get hold of them and have a sneaky chew.

Jade~Harley~Bella Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I'm loving that site... some of the dogs look genuinely ashamed! I was going to do one for Bella months ago with "0 days since I've eaten kitty litter" :laugh: little grott sneaks it any chance she can get... can't forget to clean it once or she will do it for you.

Aphra Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 What is making me laugh is that all the dogs look really ashamed of themselves, and the couple of cats are all, "yeah, so?".

Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 My dog only looks ashamed when she wants her dinner. When she's being really naughty, she just looks a bit smug in a "what you looking at!" kind of way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skelp2 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) whatever happened to training and raising well rounded dogs, then the owners wouldn;t have to bitch and moan about what their dogs do. It's called having a sense of humour about the sometimes funny, naughty or bizarre things dogs do, which even well trained manage to do at times. Humans, even well trained ones, also manage to do silly things sometimes that make us laugh. Also, show me a dog that is 100% well behaved 100% of the time? :laugh: They don't exist!!!!
