When I was a lad we were due to a friend’s house for a big Christmas lunch. They had prepared it and headed to church. Whilst they were out the Lab (surprise) got into the oven. It ate the whole turkey, all the spuds, veg, stuffing, sausages, even the sprouts. This was a Christmas meal for 12 people. When they got back the dog was unconscious. The vet call out and stomach pump on Christmas Day was north of £500. And no Christmas lunch for 3 families. How dim is a dog that will eat itself to actual death?
More recently I went to a housewarming, the host prepared sausages for an huge crowd of people in the oven, left over was a baking tray with a good 2 inches of grease in it, he put this by the back door. His father let their whippet out for a pee.
The litre of sausage grease turned into a vile liquid effluvia inside the animal and came out of its other end like a hose. The whippet was clearly terrified and had tried to evade its own horrendous wet tail of filth, by running around the open plan house.
When they got up every surface, tv, stereo, books, kitchen, sofas, EVERTYTHING was sprayed with the foulest substance imaginable. This as just as they’d finished building and decorating the place. It all had to come out.
I’ve got more too, dogs, idiots. 😆
