Now, I feel ill…
swoon
Dammit! I got the wrong sig!
Never kiss an animal that can lick its own butt.
One evening after work as I was getting out of my car, I noticed a fould smell on the wind. Getting closer to the house, it got gradually stronger. Uh oh, I thought. I opened the door and got hit with a blast of the worst scene I have ever experienced…
My dalmation had, sometime during the day, stolen a bunch of bananas off of the counter, about 10 large ones, and eaten them, peels and all.
She got quite sick.
In the entry way of the house she was laying trying to re-eat for what looked like the third time a vomited mass of gooey banana peels. There were about three other multiply-regurgitated peel piles scattered about the living room. To make things worse, what she had managed to keep down had already made it through her digestive system in a rather unconstituted manner. In the kitchen, bath, and living room were about a half dozen yellow-brown watery puddles. Some of these appeared to also have been half re-eaten, while the rest of them had been thouroughly tracked through and stepped in, resulting in canine Family Circus style paw shit-prints tracked about the house on every imaginable surface.
This had all been stewing in the warm afternoon sun for about six hours.
I love my dog, I really do…
No, I think Gargoyle’s dog wins. :eek:
I made the mistake of reading this thread at work… the ensuing laughter caused me to make a spectacle of myself.
The reason dogs eat cat poop is because it’s full of protein. That’s what I heard, anyway, and it makes sense. Why they eat vomit, however, is beyond me, especially their own vomit.
The grossest thing I personally saw, which doesn’t touch some of the stuff you guys have described, involves the ear of my dearly departed cat Thomas. He damaged his ear and had to have a tumor removed from it, and after that it would periodically fill up with this black, viscous goo comprised of ear wax, bacteria, fungus, and pus that stank in a most odiferous manner that defies description. Achmed, a kitten who was devoted to Thomas, used to lick out the ear avidly, for about an hour. I mean, the stuff in that ear was so vile that I hated when I had to clean it twice a week, so it’s hard for me to imagine how it tasted…
Cats are weird.
Could the tendency of dogs to eat vomit have something to do with the fact that adult wolves will regurgitate food for pups? Do dogs still have an instinct to eat vomit because otherwise it would be perfectly good food (in their view) going to waste?
Wow. I thought I had some good ones but the banana story beats them ALL.
One time I took my dog camping on the beach. While I was doing WHATEVER, I gradually became aware of an awful stench growing ever stronger. I looked up to see my dog, rolling in a little depression in the sand not far from my tent. Upon closer inspection I realized that she had dug up a baby seal carcass, and was rolling in the rotting flesh. Now, when one is camping, one cannot simply hose the damn dog off. So, I had to move the entire camping set-up and tie my dog down so she couldn’t get near the tent, or the carcass. The ride home was deeply unpleasant.
Also, my ex-boyfriend had a dog that liked to drink the urine of females. Any species. Meant I had to be vigilant when we were camping because he preferred to get it before it hit the ground…
Man, and I thought it was vile when my wifes cat would throw up on the quilt…! And yet that stupid ginger cat would look up at me afterwards with the most devoid-of-conscious-thought look…and cry. WTF??? (It also likes to sit in corners and cry. I’m buying it a Dunce Cap for Christmas.)
Dogs eat vomit because it’s still technically food and as Uvula Donor so aptly pointed out, it’s hot soup. BTW, I almost choked myself with a Charms[sub]TM[/sub] pop while reading that.
I, um, sometimes let my dog into the house when my kitties vomit…it’s just easier…
[sub]I’m a bad mom[/sub]
Dogs that scoot may also have worms.
My dog doesn’t eat warm vomit, she waits until it’s dry (the ones in hidden spots that you smell but can’t quite find) and then crunches it right up.
My kitten chews on the couch. I think it’s because we won’t let him scratch.
Not disgusting, but weird. Neither of my cats will drink water from a bowl on the floor. It must be in a human drinking glass and on a table. Or, just the water in the toilet. I keep a full glass of water on my nightstand just for them.
My kitten also suckles. This is not so bad, although the kneading gets kind of irritating after a while. It’s wiping the drool off my neck when he’s done that is bothersome. Though, sometimes, he does lick my neck clean when he’s done.
:smack: I saw this thread and this post immediately after I started a similar thread over in MPSIMS and described my dog’s tampon-eating antics.
I don’t have any disgusting pet stories, But I think JohnBckWLD gets the nod for Most Disgusting Pet Owner. I read a post of his a couple of months back about his dog licking up his man-jam. I thoiught it was an isolated incident. I am just appalled that it has happened more than once.
The fact that he jerks off and knows his dog will lick up the jizz is just disgusting beyond comprehension.
Back in the good old days, before solid state electronics (circa 1977), we had a TV that had a bunch of vacuum tubes, like most other TVs at the time.
<wayback machine>
I was just a kid at the time, but for those of you too young to remember, vacuum tubes are enclosed tubes of glass, similar to a lightbulb, only they’re straight, not bulbous. They had prongs on the bottom that would plug into the guts (inside the case where the picture tube is) of the TV similar to how an electrical plug goes into the wall. A lot of electronic equipment back then used vacuum tubes, even the big computers that were less powerful than today’s calculators. There were various sizes of vacuum tubes and, like light bulbs, they would occassionaly ‘blow out’. To replace them, you would take the suspect tube(s) to KMart, or the drug store, or Radio Shack who all had machines with a bunch of sockets you could plug the tubes into to determine if it had blown out.
Today, they’re very rare in the U.S. (I’ve heard they’re more popular in the former Soviet Union and you can still buy vacuum tubes made in those countries). About the only place I’ve seen one recently is in an electric guitar amplifier; the vacuum tube models are supposed to provide a warmer sound or something.
</wayback machine>
Now, as you can imagine, an enclosed box with a bunch of these vacuum tubes generated a good bit of heat. To allow the relase of heat, TV cases had parallel ventilation slots cut in the top. Our cat loved to sleep on top of the TV because he could warm his belly there.
One day, while warming his belly, our cat horked all over the top/back of the TV. His vomit promplty leaked through the ventilation slots in the TV’s case and shorted out a bunch of the TV’s vacuum tubes. We were sans TV until my dad pulled out all the hork-covered, blown-out vacuum tubes and replaced them.
We had a spayed female poodle that did that!
As a Dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly. - proverbs 26:11.
Humping isn’t only about sex for dogs - it is how they assert dominance in the pack. Female dogs will hump anyone they think needs to be reminded that they are the boss.
One of my dogs ate my son’s poop (and it was rather smushy, not quite diarrhea, extremely stinky poop) out of his training potty once. It’s not like I left it that long - we were redressing my son in the next room (for some reason, my son must be completely naked to poop).
Being a bulldog with a short nose, so he couldn’t quite get in there without getting himself and the potty all messy. I have never been so disgusted. He otherwise has never eaten anything that icky, other than his own vomit, so I was shocked.
My friends seem to think it is terribly disgusting that my dogs will lick each other’s butts - but bulldogs can’t reach their own, so they do it as a favor to each other. Why is that any more disgusting than licking their own?
When I was thirteen, I spent a lot of nights in bed doing, umm, you know, the kind of thing teenage boys do when they discover their pee-pee can do more than just go pee-pee. Went through half a roll of toilet paper each week, and the wastebasket would invariably get quite full.
One day, my cat discovered the wastebasket.
Seeing all those sticky, shredded bits of tissue scattered across my bedroom floor was, I think, more revolting than actually catching him in the act (yes, it was a boy cat.)
As for JohnBckWLD’s dog…
Hell, the fact that he shoots off ON THE FLOOR is twisted!! :eek: What if the dog’s not hungry and someone else slips on it??
Wow, this is the third time tonight that I’ve posted something about my animals.
My boxer also does the feminine product retrieval thing, if I’m not careful about putting the lid down on the bathroom trash.
My bulldog, thankfully, only does something that is a little unpleasant. She usually sleeps on the bed, and we wake up in the morning, there are usually these round, brown spots on the sheets where she had been. The first time I noticed this, I thought she had gone into heat, but after we had her fixed, I realized what was happening. Because of her underbite, she never sleeps with her mouth completely closed - her tongue sticks out (it’s very cute, actually). Anyway, I think what happens is that she’s drooling, and somehow the drool leaves brownish stains on the bed. Thankfully, they pretty much come out in the wash.
Hey, I thought my cat was the only one who won’t drink out of a bowl! Mine won’t even drink out of a glass, though. We have to leave a faucet dripping for her.
I was hoping to see a repeat telling from the Doper whose dog liked to remove turds from the toilet and play with them elsewhere.
After reading this thread, I will never again complain about the dogs at my house.
However, waking up to find one of the dogs munching on a freshly dead bird and watching T.V. on the living room floor will be one of those things I’ll remember for always.
It didn’t help that the bird was still twitching. Ewwww.
My cats like to drink my bathwater while I’m still in it. Nasty-assed cats.
