My dog ate my...

[madd matt]

Last Thursday we had our h.v.a.c. system checked. The service tech showed up on time and we put the dogs upstairs in our bedroom (2 6 year old old english sheepdogs). The service took about an hour and everything checked out good. Bolt the male dog barked the whole time, this must have upset Winnie our female who ate the ceiling fan remote and chewed my wife's inhaler, putting 2 holes in it.
The service for my heater was free as it is only 1 year old. My wife had to call the pharmacy and explain to replace the inhaler as her prescriptions are mail order. I just ordered a replacement remote from amazon aprox. $30.
So much for free...

Any other my dog ate my... stories?

Stay safe, and have a great 2016.

No dogs were hurt in the making of this post.

A friend, who knew nothing about exotic birds, bought a large tropical bird with a very powerful bill, and gave it the run of his house one day, when nobody was home.

The bird severely damaged every piece of wood in the house that had an edge. The trim on windows and doors, tables and chairs, cabinets etc.

Many thousand of dollars of damage.
The bird went back to the pet shop.

Once your dog figures out how to open the freezer, there is no limit to the stories:

All the frozen shrimp.
The pork roast.
The frozen broccoli.
All the ice cream.
Most of a 5 lb bag of rice.

I had a dog with separation anxiety that was usually glued to me when I was at home.Left my glasses out one time when I was gone and she ate them.Spent around $400 for an exam and a new pair.A week later I found the pieces of the new pair under the dining room table! Some years later I shattered an eye tooth on a hunting trip in Wyoming.I was able to find a dentist in town who could pull the remainder ( great guy,sat eve after dinner).When I got home,my dentist made me a flipper to wear while I waited on an implant.Bailey ate that too [emoji33][emoji57]

A couple of years ago, our Boxer ate one of my wife's hearing aids. That is about all she ever tore up except a couple of newspapers. (My wife has since learned NOT to leave hearing aids within reach of the dog)

We had a black lab mix we found as a pup on the side of the road on Christmas day about 25+ years ago. She wouldn't eat things that I knew of but would roam the neighborhood and bring things home. A single shoe, paint brushes, lawn sprinklers and kids toys. Anything she would find out in peoples yards she would "borrow" and bring home but not destroy.

It got to the point we would put these items on top of our mailbox and the owners would check to claim their missing property. The neighbors really didn't seem to mind but it was time to fence the yard.

When I was eight or so we had a German Shepard that walked up to the table and grabbed an entire stick of butter and with one gulp it was gone. AFAWK he had no ill side effects.

Dogs are so cool.

Ate all the ice cream......Noooooooo....that is crossing the line

That would be a time-out offense for puppy dog or maybe I should be in time-out for leaving some ice cream in the carton!!!!!!!!

I have a $900 rock here on my book shelf that one of my English Setters ate when he was a puppy. Unfortunately it was just a bit to large to make all the way through him.

Blue Flash

Our 5-month old pup liked to sleep under our bed. One winter night, I had my electric blanket on. In the middle of the night, a blue-white flash of light startled me awake as my dog bolted from under the bed.

An under-bed inspection revealed that my blanket cord had been chewed through.

My dog used to eat my homework but nobody ever believed me.

But seriously, one of my Yorkies ate a basket of Easter grass from the kids baskets one year and we didn't know it until we saw the green streamers from his hind end. I had the pleasure of extracting those streamers by hand. Good thing I really liked the little guy. He was grateful.
I don't look at Easter baskets the same way anymore.

Every dog I have ever had has done ate a hole straight into my heart then had the audacity to curl up and snuggle in there! Heck, and most of them actually remain in there even after they have gone on...
The nerve of them!

Seriously, our first two we had after Mrs OMC and I got hitched, cut their teeth on our living room furniture, just the wood part, which was really, really good since it was that "This End Up" pine stuff, just a quick sanding and some stain and good to go for another 15 + years.
Kristi, at about the time of our third Thanksgiving together, left our glass topped kitchen table full of bread that she was setting out for stuffing, laid side by side, covering the whole table. You don't suppose you can figure out the rest of this story, can you?

our Miniature German Schnauzer has eaten tennis balls, chewed up countless car magazines, chewed on our direct tv remote. Chewed A phone charger up etc. I'm just hoping someday he'll poop me an iPhone 6?

He's 3 now and it's gotten better. So maybe just a iPhone 5?

Was camping with the horses a few summers ago, and it was hot. A friend had run out of ice in their cooler so brought their steaks over to our cooler while we went riding with them. We came back a couple of hours later and our Chesapeake came out from under the trailer walked up to me and proceeded to barf up a package of hot dogs. The friend came over later to get her steaks from the cooler. Opened the cooler, no steaks! Chelsea later passed the butcher paper! To me the amazing thing was she unlatched the cooler, picked her dinner out then closed and latched the cooler closed. Also barfed the hot dogs, but kept the steaks. Her nose was amazing, and she was death on retrieving. Miss her!

I haven't been in school in decades but, many-a-time, my dog DID eat my homework.

 

[e3mrk]

I had a stupid Dog that ate a giant Hershey Bar and then ate a Face Cloth. I can tell You that the next day was not fun.

Don't see the reflective piles of poop since the tinsel / icicle tree decoration went out of vogue.
Grandma's Irish Setter (female) ate a pound of lard set out to thaw.
Ruined her movements for a couple days.
Brother's black Lab (female) would bring home dirty diapers scrounged from trash cans.
Aunt's German Shepherd (female) once ate 6 - 8 sq. ft. of porch screen, couple feet of drywall and chewed through a hollow core door during a thunderstorm.

I'm thankful my little mutt (female) settles for the occasional mouthful fo dirt.

When we bought our house, I was building a fence for the dog. While working outside, left her in the cab. When I finished for the day all the knobs on everything in the cab were gone. Got strange looks at the dealer parts dept when I asked if there was any such thing as a knob set.

I had left some marinated raw fajitas a little too close to the edge of the counter and when coming in from building the fire discovered Charley, my lab, had eaten all of them.
No harm, I went and bought some more and forgot about it until about 2am when I was awakened out of a deep sleep by the worst dog farts I have ever experienced. This was double nuclear toxic bad.
I watch where I put things now.

 

[BigBill]

My rotweiller only liked $10 & $20 bills she passed on the $1's & $5's.
Took them out of the misses pocketbook.

Had a cat that chewed lamp cords till.....you know. She survived.

Chessies are a hoot when it comes to food and eating things.
We had one that ate 1 cell phone, destroyed another one, ate most of the plastic on the inside of the suburban, anything left lying around in a plastic bag, including medications & vitamins, can you say "plastic fetish!"
Not to mention any animal or bird, dead or alive, unless it was shot, then she was a magnificent retriever. Cleaned up a lot of puke from that girl!

I have a crazy lab mix now that eats anything she can reach on the kitchen counter. When I forget, I frequently find the butter is missing. Leave a pan without washing, she will clean it and it will still be on the counter or stove. One time she polished off half a pan of lemon bar cookies and the pan was still on the counter.
