My cousin used to have a chow and he was sort of mean to everyone but her.
I’m more a-scared of chows than I am of pit bulls. And that includes behavior rescue potties. At least you know where an angry pit stands (though most of them are big baby goofballs!) But a chow? A chow will walk by, bite the shite out of you, and keep on strolling like nothing happened.
And those bites are nasty. At a family event a woman had to bring her baby to my Nana’s. Who has a small Scottish breed. After hours of tension the Chow finally got away and took a chunk out of one of the Scotties.
Ah, nothing like Good Family Drama.
Love the roommate’s reaction.
I cannot stop laughing at this…
Bwahahaha. Good doggo.
Dogs Reveal All Truths
Cheaters, Pets & Animals, Seattle, USA, Vet | Romantic | January 9, 2020
(This story was told to me by a friend of mine who works as a technician in a vet clinic. I asked her to tell me about some of the craziest experiences she’s had, and even though she has dealt with a lot of outrageous customer scenarios, this one surpasses them all.)
Customer: “My dog has been acting strange and vomiting, and I’m not sure what’s wrong.”
Vet Tech: “Don’t worry, ma’am, we’ll examine him and figure out what’s going on.”
(They end up having to do an x-ray of the dog. Sometime later…)
Vet Tech: “Well, ma’am, it seems your dog has eaten something that he cannot digest. We can see a foreign body on the x-ray, but we can’t tell what it is. We will have to remove it for the dog’s safety.”
Customer: “Of course, do whatever you have to. I just can’t imagine what he could have eaten. He’s not usually interested in eating anything he shouldn’t around the house.”
(The vet goes ahead with the operation, and everything goes well. While the dog is recovering, the technician goes to tell the customer about the foreign object they removed.)
Vet Tech: “Good news, ma’am; your dog is doing just fine. Here’s the object we removed.” embarrassed pause “It seems to be a pair of your underwear.”
Customer: much longer embarrassed pause, staring at the underwear with a strange look on her face “Those… aren’t mine.”
(The dog made a full recovery, but the customer’s relationship with her boyfriend did not! What a way to find out about a cheating significant other.)
Another story of dogs eating clothing:
Wow. I’ve never had that one before. My favorite has to be the dog who kept eating underwire bras. And we know exactly what they are every time he eats them because the underwires are always intact little u’s
I’m going to tactfully say it’s because dogs like the taste/smell of stuff that’s been in close body contact.
I assume the underwires are a potential hazard as they could pierce a bowel, though…
My old roommate’s cat loves my bras. I take them off and he runs up, snuggles and rubs it, then sometimes tries to wear it.
I do the same to my wife after she takes her bra off.
Yes, this. Also why I have removed multiple pairs of underwear from creatures as well as other disgusting unmentionables. But I will mention them - used pads, condoms, disposable razors, and my personal “favorite” a trash can collection of used tampons.
But my job is all cute puppies they say.
Huge cringe!!
Gaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy
Some People Are Terrified Of Even A Sniff Of Gay
Bigotry, Extra Stupid, Ohio, Pets & Animals, USA, Vet | Healthy | January 15, 2020
(I’m at a vet’s office for my pug when I overhear this:)
Receptionist: “No, ma’am, your dog is not gay. They sniff each other’s rear ends to introduce themselves. All dogs do it.”
I wonder if the dog had watched Despicable Me? “It’s so fluffy!”
