When we got Moet, our StaffXWhippet, in the first week she ate-

A plastic dog bowl

3ft of skirting board

2 fluffy dog toys

A sofa

 

Is that all?!

 

Not trying hard enough if you ask me!

[Mel (& Paul)]

Ok

I can beat all of that

Charlie has eaten a whole box of gluten free crackers.

I'll set the scene

 

Barney, 14 weeks old, we'd just got to work. I gave the dogs their morning cup of biscuits and rushed to the phone to call my MIL - she was due to come in but I was feeling awful and full of cold, she has no immune system so I didn't want her in.

 

Heard a crunching of plastic - thought Barney had found another plastic bottle, looked down to see a rapidly disappearing packet of Nurofen

He had pulled my scarf off the desk and the painkillers under it....

 

Put both dogs in the car and rushed to the vets, where they we both made sick ( just in case Dylan had been involved ) and kept in. We went back later to collect Dylan and they really weren't sure whether Barney would make it.

 

Next morninig they phoned to say he would be fine - and when we went to collect him she brought him out telling us he was a bloomin' nutter

£250 later, Barney still goes rushing in to the vets as if they are his best friends.

 

He's also licked all the copper wire off the back window in our car - it won't de-mist anymore

Ooops!!

 

Jazz must be the only known labrador to not be greedy She eats just what she wants from her food bowl and will leave some when sh'e had enough. We can leave to food cupboard door open and she won't bother.......

 

J Cloths however are a different matter - I opened the lid of the bin this morning and there was another shredded J Cloth

My auntie had a sheltie/retriever cross called Penny, who was an expert blueberry-picker. She'd pull back her lips and nibble them off the bushes, then turn round and give you a big blue-lipsticky smile. She was also a curry fiend but the consequences were terrible.

 

She never ate copper wire or Nurofen though!

[Snowy]

What a daft lot they are - how did dogs manage to survive extinction I wonder, with their eating habits? My old retriever, Ben, was pretty good, but one year he sucked all the chocolate tree decorations out of their wrappers, leaving the empty foils still hanging on the tree!

My brother's black lab was the worst - they came to visit one Christmas and the dog ate a whole, 20 lb, honey glazed ham that I'd just taken out of the oven! Most expensive dog dinner ever

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall watching him doing that!! how on earth??!!

My cup of tea has just come down my nose!

The day i got mine from local rescue centre-he helped himself to an entire pasta bake which was on worktop in kitchen.I couldnt of been angry cause he looked so funny with red sauce splattered all over his muzzle and head!

I have to agree!

The OH's beagle once ate a can of dog food that hadn't been opended. She just pierced it with her teeth and then managed to crush it to get the food out. Beagles do love their food though. She also jumps up to break the lower branches of the apple trees to get to the apples. She is so greedy.

This thread is so funny

 

My Jack russell terrier was very sick one Christmas when he was a puppy and after a few days of things not improving we took him to the vets. We were sent away to see how he went for another day or two and when things had got no better the vet operated and found a bin liner in chunks and a few marbles! I think he must have been after some tasty christmas leftovers in the bin, and helping himself to the kids toys.

Hes ok though and it is his 9th birthday today!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OSCAR!!

 

He does still have a very touchy tummy though!

Cookie ate the bottom two slats of a wooden venetian blind - whilst my husband was sitting in the same room! Men! I ask you do, do their brains turn completely off? Love him really

When i was younger my uncle came to Sunday dinner and brought his black lab Sam with him.

 

At the time the oven had a pull down door and so mum took the chicken out, unwrapped the foil and rested it on the door. She went to reach up for a knife to check it was cooked and in the meantime Sam walked by and helped himself to the whole chicken

 

Mum was spitting chips!

Love these stories - and I thought it was just my dog!!

 

Jasper (ESS) has eaten, amongst other things, at least 3 dog leads (one of which belonged to another dog tied up near him), a seatbelt, a metal comb, numerous Early Learning Centre plastic animals and a pepperami wrapper. He's also got a penchant for butter and sometimes pinches a tub of spread off the side and eats the lot. He's never managed to pinch the sunday joint so far though, I'm pleased to say!

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Love this thread .

 

My dog's eating habits are very tame but shortly after we'd brought him home from the rescue centre, he pinched my freshly prepared ham and salad roll from the kitchen worktop when I nipped upstairs - it just made me laugh because when I came down I thought I'd forgotten where I'd put the roll ..... until I found a neat little pile of lettuce on the carpet .

My friends dog, Esmerelda, will only drink from the toilet bowl.

And what's wrong with that?

[Egluntyne]

Can't say I'd fancy it myself!

 

They have just spent a silly amount of money on a self closing toilet seat to stop her.

I find those toilet bloo blocks have a wonderful effect on dogs who drink water from the toilet!!

This thread is so funny and I can definitely see why you keep them as pets even though I'm not a particularly dog person.
