What is the funniest thing your pet has ever done?

[Greylyn58]

I wanted to pose a question? What is the funniest thing your pet has ever done? Whether he/she meant to do it or it was the by-product of some mischief they got into. Here's my story...

When Sheridan ( my Golden Retriever) was about 4 months old, my ex-husband and I were invited over to a friends house for dinner and some movies. Well we didn't want to leave Sheridan in his crate or roaming the house since he was still having accidents...so we left him out to roam the kitchen since we had child gates up.

Well we were gone for about 4 hours and when we got home and walked into the kitchen door from the garage we were greeted with a sea of white paper. Seems I had left a roll of paper towels I had purchased that day too close to the counter edge. My boy, being the inventive little tyke that he was, jumped up and knocked it off and proceeded to shred the roll.

I stood there speechless, staring at the mounds of fluffy white paper scattered around the kitchen and Sheridan sitting in the middle of the mess staring up at me with his soulful brown eyes as if to say--"But mommy...you left me alone and I had to do something to entertain myself."

I started laughing and couldn't stop for almost an hour as I cleaned up the mess. I should also add that he ate a bunch of bananas, peels and all. That upset me when I realized it and I called our local emergency vets to find out if I should be worried. They said he might have some diarrhea, but that would be it. Well the bananas never even phased him.

I do love my boy, but he was a pistol when he was young! :)

1. Gosh, that looks like MY golden, and My fireplace. Have you been ...

here lately? No, I have green carpet. Anyway, my Australian shepherd mix, Dusty, does something I love. When he finds something on the floor that he knows doesn't belong there, like ,y daughters socks. he brings them to me, one at a time, very very carefully. He wags his entire body, all the way and positively beams with pride over finding the treasured item and bringing it to Mommy. He glows! He'll carefully give it to , and go back for the other one. I of course make a huge fuss. The other day he just as proudly brought me the stuffing from a dog teddy that the Golden had just shredded.

2. My Maggie once decided to nap in a dry bidet

I posted this pic before, but here she is when I walked into the room and woke her up.

7. that's adorable! (n/t)

3. That's one handsome dog!

Puck will shred tissue paper with the same sort of zeal. Leaving young pets to their own devices can be messy, lol!

I'd have to think a while about what the funniest incident was, but Oberon cracked me up just this morning; I was asleep and was awoken to his trilling churr and his two huge paws holding on to my nose! I pulled his paws away and lay there face to face with him; he was laying on his back next to me, with the skin stretched back from his eyes, giving him a somewhat insane expression like this:


it's good to wake up to something that makes you laugh! :-)

4. That reminds me of something a cat

I use to have did.

I had a female cat named Fritzie. She was a sweet kitty and use to love laying on me while I would sleep.

One day I took a nap on this old comfortable couch my ex-husband and I had and I was sleeping really deeply. Well suddenly I heard this loud purring and opened my eyes to find Fritzie perched on me. She was happily purring away and staring at me in a really weird way.

Well it took me a minute to really wake up and when I did I realized she had placed a present on me in the form of a large, half eaten cricket...just inches from my face.

I let out a scream(I hate bugs)and the cat went one way and the bug in another. Poor Fritzie couldn't understand why mommy was screaming like a crazy person. I got a good laugh out of it later. My Fritzie was a fearless bug killer.

:)

On edit: thanks for the compliment on Sheridan. He has good genes and has a lot of show dogs in his background. His daddy was a champion as was his grandfather who won Best in Breed at Westminster Dog Show in 1996. He went on to represent the Golden Retriever breed in the Sporting Group ring.

5. my old Dog - Sadie

She was around 11 yrs old at the time -- we went out for a few hours one evening

when we came back, Sadie was on the bed, with a tupperware container of bread, and the tupperware container of butter

ok,so that's not soo funny -- but she also had a package of paperplates and a plastic butter knife

I didn't know dogs knew how to use knives....

6. Pad Thai woke me up in the middle of the night one time

by placing his sparkley ball in my ear!

Usually he does it by controling the volume on the Bose tabletop radio - turning it up really loud when he wants to play.

10. He's pretty clever, that one!

the sparkle ball in the ear trick reminded me of how Oberon woke me up one morning when I was sleeping in late; he stuffed his paw in my mouth and clawed at the back of my front teeth! Ugh!

[demnan]

15. He's smarter than I am!

He turned the alarm off sometime in the night last night. I woke up just 10 mintues late and was able to make it to work in time. Now it is snowing and in D.C. that usually spells a traffic disaster. I should have listened to Pad Thai and worked from home today.

8. Funny, but sad because he broke his special dish!

The Daemon eats different food from his chunky brother, so we always kept his food dish on top of the microwave (he had a rattan mat and his bowls there) It was a leap of about 3.5 ft, for him to get on his food perch. Mommy inadvertently left the TV remote where he would jump, and he landed on it, freaked out and spazzed, knocking the bowls on the floor, denting the cherry floor, and smashing the pottery bowl into a million pieces.

It was funny, but sad --I contacted the potters, and they made him a new improved dish, in his colors and with his name on it!

[Lorien]

9. Awww..that's a cute bowl!

do the potters have a web site?

[Eurobabe]

12. Nope, they are itinerant potters, and travel organic shows

The name of the business is Animalia Pottery, Karen Pritchett and Todd Shelby of Capitan NM. Last number I had for them was 505-354-2010.

I sent them a photo of the cat, and they made his bowl special for about $30. A real bargain! If you contact them, tell them someone from Charlottesville VA recommended you to them. I doubt whether they would remember my name, but they might remember the Daemon bowl. :)

11. That is so cute...n/t

13. Several years ago I was trying to coax a small cutting from a larger..

plant to grow. It had developed roots, so I put it in a pot with soil. Over the course of a few days, I found the pot knocked over several times, with the plant/soil partially spilled. I figure that the cats were knocking it over when they ran around.

I decided to put the plant in a heavier pot, so it wouldn't tip as easily. I repotted it on my kitchen counter, then walked out of the kitchen for a second. A few seconds later, I saw Yuri running into my bedroom like a bat out of hell. I go back into the kitchen & see the pot on the counter as I left it, minus 1 plant. I went back into
the livingroom and noticed a tell-tale trail of dirt on the floor. I found it on the bedroom floor where Yuri had dismissively tossed it.

Yuri won the battle. I decided I didn't want the plant that badly. He had never bothered a plant before this and never bothered one afterwards. I have no idea why!

Yuri likes to carry things in general and is very ingenious at getting to things. I've had him carry various undergarments into my living room, pantyhose, socks and once, 2 perfectly folded sleeveless tops which he somehow pulled out of a drawer, and carried without un-folding. He's dragged in towels occasionally, straddling then pulling them in. He also has a beanie baby rat, and will bring it to me, put it in their kibble bowl or put it on one of my shoes.

Gorgeous woofer!
Here is Yuri & his rat:

14. We put Bailey's bowl on

top of the refrigerator when he hasn't eaten it all so that the other dogs don't get it.

One day I walked into the kitchen to find Dot (85 lb) on the fridge eating the rest of Bailey's breakfast.

16. Lewis broke into the vanity cabinet and stole 4 rolls of Charmin

in my daughter's bathroom. He started the shredding process in there and she threw him and the Charmin out and put the Charmin in my bedroom. That kitty loves toilet paper and paper towels. He kills them with enormous gusto.

I have had great fun imagining his manic delight in discovering he had a huge treasure trove of toilet paper to kill.
