minimax Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 My last foster was a nightmare for destroying things. Too many to mention but the one that got me was when a few days after he left I went to start the lawnmower and almost dislocated my shoulder as I stood back to pull the cord and the little plastic handle was not actually attatched anymore...cord chewed through. Stan is a master at opening the oven. I made the mistake of hiding (yeah right) two kilos of mince to defrost in the oven whilst I ducked out for a few hours. I came home, oven door open and no mince. Three months later everytime I go out the oven door is open, he still holds out hope that one day he will open the oven and there will be more mince...one can never give up hope according to Stanley :) :laugh: that's really very clever. :laugh: I can just imagine him saying to himself, good, she's gone! I'll see what she's left for me. Haha, that's awesome. Some dogs get left with a kong, Stan thinks he gets left with a whole oven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disintegratus Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 My dogs had an argument last night and I went to break it up and one of them accidentally grabbed me instead...but the following "HOLY SHIT" quickly broke it up. I was the only one injured, luckily. Slightly OT, but we went to my parent's holiday house at Rye over the weekend, I took our Rotti x, and my sister's mates brought their 6 month old bull arab thingy (god knows what's in her). She's awful. Doesn't know her name, does whatever she wants and has no concept of being reprimanded. She also decided to take issue with our rotti x, who was being a really good girl and didn't retaliate until the pup escalated it (read: didn't know what was going on because she's a simpleton :)) When it escalated a bit, I jumped right in to separate them, and everyone was saying things like "oh, but you could've gotten hurt" etc. My response was that doctors are cheaper than vets. Later on my sister said "I love spending time with other people's dogs, it reminds me that our dogs actually are really well behaved" I swear at that moment I could practically hear them destroying stuff 80-odd kilometres away! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackJaq Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I'm also an expert when it comes to health and nutrition... no really I am It's not my fault they choose to snack between meals, dine on left overs from the garbage bin and put their feet on the kitchen table LOL Is that a Weimaraner in the Shapes box? My Wei loves Yoghurt and tends to get her muzzle stuck in the little yoghurt cups. Raspberry is our favourite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aphelion Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I am also an expert in expressing my dislike of dressed up dogs ... but sometimes , if the hat fits ...a court jester just has to have his trademark! :) I also think that dogs should not be dressed up like people. Seriously, I'm not a fan. Coats for warmth (with a little style thrown in) are one thing... Clearly, I have no idea who was responsible for this lapse in judgement, including taking the photo.
