Oh my. That’s a beautiful couch. How horrid.

The turd isn’t so bad. I step in chicken, duck and goose crap all the time. I mean, I wear crocs most of the time, but sometimes the duck poops in my Crocs when I’m in the house. He loves those things.

In reply to Sherri. OMG, I gagged just thinking about it! Only thing worse than cold dog barf is warm dog barf!

Oh no! I’ve definitely done the foot in turd thing. 🙂 I don’t recall my dogs getting on the counter. But the trash was always an issue. And Maya peed on my couch once, and my bed. Both have since been discarded.

I’ve never tried eating a sofa! I’ve tried most other furniture when I was a pup.

The worst I’ve experienced – dog chews hole in the living room rug, dog consumes shreds of unraveled rug, dog feels bad (ill) and goes into crate, at some point dog tears whole in bed in the crate, dog pukes in corner of crate and then moves his bed to on top of it. Mom finds this treasure by sticking her hand in and trying to figure out what dog did to bed. Mom almost puked on top of the dog bed as her hand sunk into cold dog barf. It was enough to make a person ask, “Now why did I think I needed a second dog?”

When I first got Frankie he came with a technological bent … he liked to bend technological stuff! Three mobile phones, numerous remote controls, phone chargers etc. Took me a year before I was finally trained to put things like that out of his reach! I’m a slow learner. He used to counter surf a bit, I had to learn to put food at the back of the counter. Now he just tends to shred dog duvets, with more than a little help from his big sister! Thankfully Beryl’s thing is only shredding paper so as long as I don’t leave anything important lying within her reach that’s fine 🙂 I just laugh and take photos!

lol. But honey has such an innocent face! Well , we’ve been through it all, torn leather upholstery, chewed up crates, chewed up Persian carpets ( a wedding gift from my parents). But I’d give it all away if I could just hang out with them.Although i must stay it wasn’t fun when Hannah decided to roll around in some dog-poo at the park (we thought she was just rolling in the grass). Getting her to a bath in our brand new car was not a good experience 🙂

One of the worst I ever heard was a family with a small shih tzu that somehow managed to climb onto a high counter by scaling the couch, end table and a bookcase, while the family was gone. The husband came in first, stopped, then rushed back to stop the wife at the door, “Don’t come in. Wait here on the step. I’ll be right back.” The smell was almost overpowering. He reappeared with the shih tzu wrapped in a large towel, and in the tiny cat carrier with only his head visible. His instructions were, “Go to the vet. I’ll call and tell them you are coming. He has eaten a whole bag of mini Reese Cups, wrappers and all. I have to find someone to clean the carpet and the furniture.”

He said he called the vet and then called almost every cleaner in the phone book, finally offered a $200 tip if they would come immediately. They had white carpet, and white brocade living room furniture! Apparently when the stomach cramps stared, the dog was running in circles leaving a jet stream of partially digested chocolate, peanut butter, and wrappers behind him. The man said that getting the wrappers up so they could start cleaning immediately when they got there was so disgusting he gagged the whole time!

The dog survived and the cleaner did a great job, but it cost them almost $600 to get everything clean. I don’t recall what the vet bill was.

That last one is bad, but in some ways funny. When Sam and I were getting me ready to move down here from Long Island, my poodle, Kissy, left a poop deposit on the bedroom floor. Neither one of us knew it was there and Sam stepped right in the middle of it, in bare feet. I was in the other bedroom and heard him laughing. What’s so funny? I asked. He was still laughing when he said “I just stepped in shit, so I guess the rest of the day will be perfect.” It wasn’t until I walked into the room and saw Sam trying to hop out to the bathroom to wash his foot in the tub that I realized he really had stepped in it. Then I started laughing at the sight of him trying to hop to the bathroom. And all the while Kissy was downstairs, playing with a toy in her crate. I cleaned up the carpet, and then took her outside to finish her “business”.

In reply to Jessica. From the Husband: Hmmm. Now considering reevaluating previously abandoned "Rocks For Beer" scheme. . .
