Embarrassing Pets...

Mdawn · 03-26-2007, 11:17 AM

Yesterday, my boyfriend and I were out with my black lab puppy in our yard. My puppy was running loose and I was talking to my boyfriend. All of the sudden, my puppy jumped up and grabbed my pants at the waist and pulled, basically pulling my pants down...most embarrassing!

What are some of embarrassing moments your pets have caused you?

I was in petsmart a few months back with Chloe and a lady asked me what kind of dog she was. Sowe talked for a few minuutes and she said she was having problems house breaking her dog which was a shar pei. I told her be patient and told her thats what we hadto do with Chloe because she was tiny and she took a while to mature and get full control of her bodily functions. She asked if Chloe ever had accidents anymore and I said nope no more, she hasn't peed in the house since she was a year old and no poop since six months. The lady then smiled and said wow, well what about other places how is she? I said fine, she never has accidents.....only then did I look down to see that Chloe had peed all over the floor in petsmart and thats why the lady had smiled at me. So much for my perfectly house broken doggy. I guess that was why she has been jumping up and pawing at my leg.
There was a time when my dad was horsing around with Maggie our old shepherd. My mom and me were watching him from the back door and one of his work buddies was out back with him as well visiting. He was grabbing this big piece of rope she loved to chase and she went to grab it but instead of grabbing the rope she grabbed my dads pant leg and ripped it from the bottom seem all the way to his crotch. Well I have never seen my dad run so fast for his bedroom in my life!!!!

I don't have many embarrassing moments with my dog, but one that does stick out that happened while working on "heel" with PJ.

We were out walking at the park, and I decided to speed up to a jog with him. He has this habit of trotting on an angle, not straight ahead...seems to veer off to the right (which kinda sucks since I walk him on my left...haha). His front leg hit my foot while I was jogging and I fell and rolled a few feet. DOH!! HAHAHA! There were a few kids playing at the park that had a good giggle out of it, and PJ looked at me like I was a moron!

Mdawn · 03-26-2007, 12:08 PM

Ugh! Dogs causing us to fall! This happened to me recently also.

I was playing fetch with my puppy in the yard the other day. He ran and got his tennis ball and ran back to me AT FULL SPEED! I was unable to get out of the way in time and bam...I was flat on my back on the grass. I hurt my leg a little, but I was laughing too hard to care much.

Oh my goodness! I would have died from emberassment! It would seem like you were just PRETENDING that you knew what you were talking about, and that she really wasn't potty trained! Lol...That's bad.

Okay, once I was at a museum with Jaylie...We were on a tour. Right when we walked in the door, Jaylie threw up. And then when we were on the tour, she peed. I took her out to go potty, and she went. So I took her back inside. She pooped INSIDE. And then she peed again! That was SOO emberassing! Two pees, a poop, and a throw up. It was kinda funny though, there were a bunch of security guys, and you could tell that was the highlight of their day. There were about three of them, just surrounding the puddle, and they were on the walkie talkies, saying, "Okay, it's about three feet from the wall, five feet from the blablalba exhibit," It was funny. They looked like they were taking out a bomb or something.

Anyway, I think I'm probably going to tell that story at graduation, if Jaylie graduates.

Nothing is more embarrassing than to act as a caution cone while these words blare out over the intercom, "CLEAN UP ON ISLE 4!"

CrzyBritNAmerica · 03-26-2007, 01:32 PM

I don't really have one about Bridgette, but I have a funny one about my roommates (who was part mine while I was living there) dog Billy. We used to take him on campus with us and one time he was so interested in this HUGE (I mean this dog was a freakishly large Great Pyrenes) that he broke free from us and headed over to where the dog was tied up. We weren't too freaked out as Billy was very good off a leash, but we got up to head over there. Just as we stood up Billy tries to mount this massive dog and preceded to hump him. Now Billy was only a small/medium (36 lb) red heeler mix so you can imagine how it looked for him to be mounting this enourmous dog...and being on campus there were lots of college students around who were just busting up laughing. We were so embarassed, but tried to laugh it off anyway.

Our boy Max is a huge sniffer, we were walking around town on the Fourth of July and he was goosing everyone we passed, (He does this all the time to everyone-and I can't seem to break him of it.) But the worst part was when we ran into a friend of my husband's, with his baby in a stroller. I was talking to my friend, and My husband to his-when my friend let out a horrified gasp, I turn around and see my boy peeing on the baby and stroller!!! He's a german shepard, so there was no problem with reach.

ICK!! It took all my guts to tell the guys what he did-men, they had no idea what was going on!

I have one with Professer.

I have always taken Fessie with me to go trick-or-treating. He always gets lots of attention and sometimes other dog owners whose house I stop at to trick-or-treat will give him a doggy bisciut. I take fessie's leash off when we are in a familar place b/c he will never leave my side anyway. Well my mom was just a few houses back from us in the car taking my little cuz around the neighborhood. Me and my friends are at a ladys house collecting candy,and when we leave her doorway I notice Fessie is not with me.

I look everywhere and call for him. I think maybe he went into that lady's house. So I go back to her house and ask if she has seen him. She says she hasen't. I ask if I could look inside to be sure. With some persistance I get her to let me in. My friends and I look all over this poor womans house and find no Fessie. I am near tears when we leave. I go outside and sit on the curb and then the tears start pouring. My friends try to comfort me and reassure me would find him. Well here I am crying on the side of the road thinking I will never see my dog again, when my mom drives by and rolls down the window to ask what is wrong. And who should happen to pop his fuzzy little head out the window but my little lost Fessie.

OK OK I GOT A GOOD ONE!!!!
I was talking to my brother who is a single 24 year old guy. His dog Ty is a belgian shepherd and he is about five or six years old now. Ty is such a beautiful dog that he is a total babe magnet when my brother walks him, especially when they are down town at the river front. Well my brother decided to bring Ty for a walk a few days back during a nice warm day and this girl approched him and asked about Ty and aparently she was quite attractive. Well my brother and she got to talking and she was gushing all over Ty and my brother was puffing up his chest acting all manly and buff when all of a sudden Ty squatted to poo right in front of this girl. Well my brother being the responsible dog owner couldn't very well leave it where it was but he didn't want to pick it up in front of this pretty girl and have her gross out so he froze for a few seconds not knowing what he should do. Until a police officer walked over and said rather loudly "Sir in this country cleaning up your dogs excrement is a necessity....do you need a bag?" My brother went red as beet and rather haltingly picked up the poop and as he stood back up the girl said "you know I have a dog of my own and I HATE when people let their dogs poo and don't pick it up. Thats gross." Aparently the officer thought my brother was from another country because his skin is very tanned.....but hes Canadian through and through/

OK...I got a good one. Lilly is obsessed with fetching things. She never ruins anything, she just likes to take stuff. Dirty clothes, particulary underwear are a prized favorit. Anyway, last week while I was getting ready for work I did not realize she took a pair of my underwear and left it in the entry way of the front door. And it was NOT one of my more attractive pair!! Anyway, I did not notice it until I came home that night. What is the embarrassing part you ask......my pet sitter comes in every day at noon through the front door!!!! We do a full walkthru of the downstairs now before we leave! :-)

Weebles · 03-28-2007, 12:04 PM

Again with the pet bodily functions... Weebles' absolute favorite place to poop is in front of the window at Starbucks. He also has the cutest little dance that he does before he poops. So, everytime we walk him past here, he does this in front of the window in full view of everyone enjoying their coffee. Of course we clean up, but I'm sure they hate us.

That's funny! Weebles also has a strange obsession with my underwear.

Okay, this isn't with mine, but at one of the GDA graduations, one of the puppy raisers told this story, as she was reminincing about her time with her pup.

Anyway, her puppy is a BEAUTIFUL dog. Yellow lab, very pretty shade. She said that once as she was taking him for a walk, she stopped and took off his jacket to let him poo. In the middle of his hunch, while he was still going poo, a car pulled over and yelled to her, "You have a beautiful dog there!" The puppy raiser was like, "What?? NOW???" Lol, I thought that was funny. Not exactly EMBARRESSING, but funny.

I have always wondered why dogs are so interested in dirty undies. Maggie loved to steal dirty underwear, towels or wash clothes. She wouldn't eat them she would put them in her bed and sleep on them. We once had to leave her for several hours and forgot to shut the laundry room door and when we got home her bed was litterally three feet high and it was all dirty underwear, washclothes and towels.
Sadie loves my boyfriends pants and his dirty boxers or underwear.....groody!

My college roommate had a male black lab. If this dog knew we were going take him to the lake to let him swim, the dog would end up dragging you to the lake, even if the water is ice cold. However, getting him into the bath tub full of warm water was quite a chore. My roommate, who is very tall, probably 6'4", had to carry this dog into the tub. One day, as my roommate was carrying his dog into the tub, the dog stuck out all four of his legs and pushed back against the door jambs. It looked like one of the cartoons when you try to put a cat in the tub and they stick out their legs to prevent from getting wet. My roommate ended up falling on his back.

Jaylie · 03-28-2007, 05:44 PM

Lol, Jaylie doesn't LIKE baths, but I have her trained to jump in on her own anyway. Sometimes, I'll say, "jump!" and she'll try and run out the door, but then she realizes the door is closed, so she jumps in.

HarleyQuinn · 03-28-2007, 06:25 PM

My dogs are always tripping people. They intentionally stand infront or behind you when they know you aren't paying attention so you'll fall and they can give you doggy kisses all over your face. Well the brothers are total tricksters. I suppose it was all my fault for not paying attention to them. The one gets infront of me, the other one jumps at me from behind knocking me over the other one and I somehow managed to do a face plant into my bestfriend's crotch. He was laughing so hard. He never lets me hear the end of it.

This isn't about my dog, but my mom's. Her dog, Baby, always starts to hump something every time she gets excited about anything. She is a very friendly dog and loves people, so naturally every time someone comes over to my mom's house, the dog gets excited and, well, starts to hump whatever she can get a hold off, usually she drags a throw pillow of the couch. My mom is handicapped and isn't able to get to the dog in time to get the pillow away from her, so who ever her company is, they get to see my mom's dog going to town on the pillow.

This is another one about my mom's dog...When my sister moved back to our little town after living in a bigger city, she would come over to my mom's to do her laundry. One time Baby grabbed a pair of my sister's dirty underwear and ran with it. I will never forget the sight of my sister chasing Baby all around the house, yelling, "Give them back, Baby! Give them back!" My sister's face was a red as a tomato when eventually it resulted in a tug of war match between her and the dog over the underwear. It was hilarious.
