Pet Follies

[Ranger]

There was recent post by “horizon200”, “carpet cleaning help” when the dawg broke the pepsi bottle on the carpet, so what has your dog / pet done that was not cute but like, WTF! Here’s mine………………...

I am a foodie and saw ashow (Alton Brown) on “dry age steaks”, so I plan on how and go to a meat shop where I can order just the cut I want, fresh. Nice, a porterhouse about 3” thick. I set up the fridge, put the beef on a rack and towel to absorb juices, rotate and flip it daily for a week.

The day comes it’s ready to grill. Set it out to come to temp., light the grill, run a portable fan on the steak to dry it some more. Season with S&P, grills hot, put the steak on and cook to perfection. Put the steak on a platter on the counter to “relax” and go out to cut some asparagus.

Coming in with the veggies Mrs. Ranger gets home, suppers ready. We come in and I go to show Cheryl the beef, but ? It was right there, right? Look in the oven, look in the nuke, go back out and look on the grill, NADA, WTF! Dawns on me, down stairs Ranger is just finishing the bone!!!!

Sticking with the carpet theme, Tasha has discovered if you pull on the little thread sticking out of the carpet, it becomes a really really long thread that is lots of fun to play with. until Mom and Dad see the big unraveled spot in the carpet and go nutso all over your furry little bum.

I am sorry, but if you don't laugh, you have to cry right? All that work, preparation and anticipation, and it's down the hatch in one gulp.


I have two cats, one will eat people food and the other won't touch it. We have learned NEVER to leave anything on the counter or he will be right in there...one time we have left the sour cream sitting out, and, well...have you ever had to clean up vomited up sour cream, NOT nice.

My little Boston Terrier is officially a bunny killer. The neighbor said she was gardening by the fence and called Gracie's name. She turned around, guilty, and had a dead baby bunny dangling from her mouth.

Oh, and she eats poop too.

We had a lab when we first got married. John's brother got married and I pulled out my wedding shoes and wore them. We ran home changed our clothes and shoes. The puppy didn't like that she got left behind and chewed up my beautiful discontinued gold and ivory wedding shoes!

My dog used to do this. I got the tablets from Drs. Foster & Smith. They worked like MAGIC. Less than a week later, my dog could not have been less interested in poop eating ... even to this day. It only took 7 or 8 tablets.

I have three cats and two dogs. Whenever one of the cats goes into the litter box to do its business, the youngest dog goes bananas barking, whining, and running in circles. When the cat comes out, the dog chases it out of the room.

PIA

One Thanksgiving I left a pumpkin pie out and too close to the edge of the kitchen counter. Remy got it on the floor and had about half of it eaten before I saw what he was doing. He has a sensitive stomach and the pie didn't agree with him at all. Luckily he woke me up in the middle of the night and I got him outside before it came shooting out the back end!

... and he eats poop too.

My in-laws have a dog that will only eat leather shoes. Expensive leather shoes. This same dog will steal your food. Image a small weiner dog sitting on your lap and up comes this long tongue stealing your food...

I had a cat that would attack from the balcony of our townhouse in Tucson. He would also sit under the couch and attack your ankles. His name was Satan for a reason.

Another cat I had when I was little that would steal every sock in the house and line them up in according to size and color.

Ok, so what's the concept of this? It makes the poop less gross tasting than...regular poop?

Can you get them at the pet store?

it makes the poop taste like really cheap dog food... cuz you know they won't eat that! (speaking of, what is up with those cat food commercials with the food being prepared looking better than anything I've prepared for myself to eat in years? the gourmet stuff with herbs and all??)

We have 3 dogs... one is highly sensitive to Michael's seizures and will bark to let us know he's having one... he also barks to tell us that Michael is climbing up on a chair or table, or jumping off the stairs... It's like he's a hairy, 4 legged tattle tale, but in a good way...

It's because cats are elitist snobs.
