But I Don’t Even Have A Dog

Dogs will eat anything - our last one ate brownies (1/2 pan), my thyroid medicine - a couple I think before I got to him, and any human food (except lettuce). He loved it when we babysat the first grandson - he’d sit under his table and eat all the droppings.
I had a golden retriever once who could eat a big boy sandwich and mysteriously leave the pickle without so much as a nip in it.
Our cats on the other hand can’t even eat cat food without major digestive issues - one can’t eat dry, neither will do gravy or broth.
I can’t believe people who let 43 socks go missing - without a clue.
A quick rap on the nose when our Akita mix was little more than 9 weeks old - kept him away from human clothing for life. And with 4 kids - the dogs never got those soft, furry animals as play toys - avoided the eating of stuffed animals of the kids.
Common sense and a bit of adult responsibility seem to be lacking in a great percentage of people these days.
Of course if you want to see how bad some people really live - catch an episode of Hoarder or Animal Cops Houston - they usually make me realize I am no where near a terrible housekeeper or clutter person at all.
I caught my puppy having some “cat snax” right from the litter pan. A slap on the bottom, simultaneous with a huge foot stamp on the floor and a realy loud yell, and I literally scared the piss out of the dog. She never went near the pan again. Heck, it was hard to even get her in the bathroom where it was kept. She wasn’t a chewer of anything after that.
She’s been gone more than 20 years now. I still have a little nail clipper case and a knife sheath with little puppy teeth marks on them. Awwww.
Drew, I’d read somewhere that - because a cat’s digestive system is fairly inefficient - the meteorites left in the box are actually fairly nutritious.Makes me think of that Civet coffee for some reason. Ewww…
That half-sock is gonna bother me a lot. I mean - Jeez! - it’s bad enough losing one of a pair. I wonder where it is, and what is being done with/to it? And by whom.
Oh, Drew you reminded me of the time I caught our Akita mix with his head in the kitty outhouse (this one was covered however) - scared him so bad - he came up with the lid on his head. Needless to say - I bled biting my lip so hard to keep from laughing out loud and he never, ever went into that ‘attacking’ thing again.
This comment thread is making me nauseous.
This must be the only blog that I’ve not given my theory of ‘lost socks in the dryers.’
The theory is simple. All dryers have a black hole that acutally powers them. The black holes eat your socks. Now, according to theory, if we have mini-black wholes that eat matter (socks) we must have ‘white holes’ that expell matter.
I submit that when you find belly button lint you are only finding your lost socks!
