O.K, I was out on a job today, had just had the first bite out of a sandwich whilst sitting in the cab when I had to get out to have a word with the customer.
When I got back in, I discovered my dog with his chops in the sandwich. He had devoured most of the filling (Cheese, his favourite) I managed to salvage the top and bottom of the breadcake and a bit of salad.
So, I'm miles from another buttie shop, behind time and faced with three hours of physical work.
I ate the remains of the sandwich.

What would you have done:D

Eurghhhh! That's nasty!!!

I wouldn't, because dogs have got some very nasty bacteria in their saliva - they lick their own arses for goodness sake!!

You've put me right off MY sandwich now!!! :rolleyes: :D

Dog saliva can transmit nasties such as round and tape worms :

Your dog may look cute and be getting his fibre from cardboard, but be wary of his drool :P

Nope, I'd never share my sandwich with a dog, and certainly not a cocker spaniel looking like that.

A dog resembling yours once pounced on me and my girlfriend (at the time) while we were eating our lunch in the park and proceeded to eat as much as he could stick his nose into while I was trying to my best to push him away and getting very ****** off. The offending owner sauntered over a couple of minutes later, said 'Don't push him mate!' and walked away leaving his dog to continue eating while we sat there ****** off. All I got out him when I said 'He's just eaten our bloody lunch!!!' was a 'oh, sorry mate' and then after walking about 20 yards away and calling the dog about 5 times he had to walk back and give the dog a hard whack on the arse before it'd actually take notice and leave with him.

So no, I have an aversion to dogs similar to yours now, and owners who can't control them. He wouldn't have got near my sandwich in the first place. :mad:

Maybe I should see that counsellor soon......:loopy:

No, Pauly, not our dog (honest) allthough he did once make off with someones left over sandwich in Hyde Park. Took us ten mins to catch him by which time he had eaten the butty. The person in question had a real sense of humour failiure (who can blame him) untill we offered to pay for the sandwich. You will be pleased to hear we allways keep the dog on a lead in these situations, these days.:D
He's a thief:rolleyes:

We were on the beach at scarborough once and a really annoying american family were next to us.

they had every gadget known to man and were busily roasting a whole chicken on a spit thing.

the beach was really crowded and you could see everyone looking around and following the fantastic smell of roast chicken (bisto style!) with their noses. They removed the chicken from the spit and left it on a plate to cool down.

Within minutes a beagle came flying through the crowds, nicked the chicken and ran off down the beach.

I swear I could feel the sand vibrating as everyone tried to muffle their laughter in a very british way!

L.

I love dogs - especially when they have the last laugh!

Draggletail just remember the next time you're tempted to eat the left over slop from what your dog has left of your sandwich, your dogs licks it's own bits.
It doesn't brush it's teeth, nor does it use mouth wash. The discharge from your dogs private region is left all over your dogs gob and you've just eaten the resedue.

Bluuuurrrrgggghhhhh

I'd rather starve! ;)

No discernable taste of slobber or bum licking residue, I'm sure you will all be pleased to hear ;)

also in answer to the question, he would have had two lumps in his throat after having his gonads kicked..........still it's a dogs thing to steal food as and when it can so it serves you right.

Maybe he would prefer it if these theiving hounds were left to roam and keep us all slim by nicking our food.

Fido the Forum filling thieth :P

Draggletail

His name is Fergus:wave:
and he would be more than happy to be the Forum mascot.
(well, we would be) - he wouldnt know anything about it!:)

AND, he got a mouth infection about a week after the sandwich incident - his breath was so evil, you could not imagine - It could have been me:gag: :gag: :hihi:
He's so appealing:D

I've got an annoyind dog already so if you don't mind I wont put in a bid.
My dog will leave the majority of his LOVELY dog biscuit and meat and then sit and wait for me to make the mistake of leaving any of my food within his reach, he's a big dog and so can reach a very long way. What's even more annoying is if he spots a discarded kebab or sandwich on the pavement, he can pick it up without breaking stride and then carries it till he thinks he's unobserved and then eat it, usually with a belch at the end.
All squeamish people please ignore.
I knew a guy who would let his dog lick his dinner plate clean as it saves on the washing up.
Told you to look away.

I was just composing my 'I keep my food and my dog separate for a good reason' answer when I read about the american chicken. Beagles DO have a reputation. Whilst visiting relatives, mine was discovered standing on the inside of the dishwasher door, licking a beef flavoured frying pan. His favourite food is garlic bread, having stolen the last piece from the coffee table when only weeks old. And if you don't share your sandwich (or hide from him), your feet get wet...drool,dribble,drool. Oh, and he travels in a cage, coz he likes the taste of upholstery too. Appetite for Destruction! is out nickname for him.

Strix
04-10-2004, 00:29
or even OUR nickname for him

My friend used to have a dog that laid on his bed and growl at him and refuse to let him get into bed until he had fed him some chicken! lol :)

Strix

Think the dog had a pet person. It even taught your friend tricks. 'Growl' is obviously the command for 'fetch chicken'.

Do I sound like I disapprove? It's dogs with owners who have no idea what goes on on planet dog, that wind up being rehomed or terminated for the 'bad' behavior their dim owner has unwittingly taught them.

Just got my dog back from the vets after a four day stop over. He's been growling at EVERYthing. The nurses were really nice, but I think he got too big for his boots whilst he was there, and I've had to re-train him.

vidster

You are right about the dog having a pet person. The dog would only drink out of the bath tap and if there was a thunderstorm, my friend had to sit and cuddle the dog in the toilet!.

Forget dogs...

The cat belonging to my house mate is 18 years old and plays mind games on the food front...

I've known her to come up to me while I'm eating... saunter nonchelantly past to the other side, apparently ignoring plate of food in my lap... settle on the sofa and appear totally disinterested...

... and then, the moment I pick up the remote to change the channel... Zoooooom!... she's wolfed down a large portion of chicken still left on my plate...


Still.. I had the last laugh.. it was spicy :D ... that'll learn 'er ;)

Strix
05-10-2004, 00:32
Had to? Dog would've cuddled any where if it believed your friend was the leader of the pack and could protect it. The dog probably thought is was cuddling your friend in the toilet!

Problem with my fuzzy mate is he's resenting his lack of independence. Me carrying him up steps and stairs is a put-down to him, regardless of the damage to his spine which hinders him walking. Can't let him get crabby with me though, so we had a snarling/snapping/plant-spray-gun thing a couple of days ago and we seem to have evened out our differences. He still points his paw 'take me that way' when I pick him up, so sometimes I have to take him backwards first!

I have a Staffie myself, we both know who is the boss (ME), until it comes to bathtime!. Then it is all out war. A Staffie can be quite strong when it comes to having a bath, you would have thought that after 7 years, she would have learn't that there is only ending to this saga!!

YES, we BOTH get wet:D

Vidster, do you know what a pandrol clip is? I drew a purple one in pastels on blue sugar paper, photographed it, stuck it through paint shop pro and 'solarised' it to change its colour, then 'swirled' it before turning it through 90 degrees. It was part of a college project where it became the logo for a ficticious(?) company.

You had to ask.

I would have used a pic of the hoond, but I thought that would be too schmaltzy.

Strix
05-10-2004, 00:55
Beagles have a similar construction! You wouldn't think such a small frame could contain so much dog! Sometimes I plonk ours in the shower tray with me, so there's no escape, ha ha! Usually bath him tho. Beagles have the added bonus of absorbing smells, so we usually get away with plonking his basket (and him) in the bathroom and choosinng something nice to steam the room up with. Tee, hee, Steam cleaning dogs? I must be tired!

Sorry about this.

I’m a little worst for wear.

I was on an American based forum at the same time and got caught up in two debates, in short i thought this Sheffield based comment had come from someone in America and my drunken state i made the mistake of thinking an American had referred to Cobs as Bread cakes and posted a comment regarding the use of such terminology in the USA.

Realising my error i tried to delete the post but couldn’t, leaving me the only option of editing it.

You'r right, i have'nt a clue what a pandrol clip is but it looks kinda cool anyway:)

it's the paperclip type of thing that holds a railway rail to it's sleeper. They look ded cool in purple. And they make great paperweights!

Well, look at it sideways, imagine it unswirled, in shades of purple rather tha over-exposed. Perhaps I'll swap it for the dog. He's less confusing.

Am bringing this thread back from pandrol clips to dog behaviour just to tell you that last Friday night I settled myself down in front of Corrie with a Takdir curry, nam and nice glass of red. Contentment reigned. Kids were out at friends, end of a long hard week at work, blisssss - then theres a knock at the door.

Had forgotten had arranged for Curtain Lady to come and measure window. Dogs making almighty racket at having visitor in house and not able to meet them. Go let first dog out (the one-at-a-time method is best with ours - believe me - they can be pretty enthusiastic!) CL coos over new 6 mth puppy all fat tummy and wiggly bum (puppy that is!)

Go back to chatting. Five minutes later realise puppy no longer in bedroom. Know that when puppy is quiet puppy is up to no good. Go downstairs to find very contented puppy finishing off last few crumbs off nam bread. Plate, tray and cutlery licked clean and shiney. CL finishes measuring and leaves. Go get cream crackers out of tin and sit feeling very sorry for self whilst puppy sits farting all night.

:suspect:

am thinking of staring a thread about these darned puppies of mine to be honest - the Bonnie and Clive saga...they deserve a whole Doggy Forum of their own. The curry thing was Friday and here we are Monday morning with many more 'incidents' over the weekend as we hurtle from one canine calamity to another... :rolleyes:

Seriously, I'd have phoned up for a chinky and let the dog enjoy the sandwich. Then pointed at the miserable mutt laughing, while s/he drooled at me tucking in.
