My 2 year old goldendoodle just yeeted herself off the porch for no reason and fucked up her leg. Of course the vet is booked until 11 AM tomorrow. This is the same dog that had to get bowel obstruction surgery twice in two months because she kept eating toys. She is not allowed to have toys anymore.

She’s such a goblin.

    My cat once slipped his head through a handle of a paper bag while sleeping on it. Then he jumped off the couch and absolute chaos ensued. He drag the bag behind him and it inflated like a parachute and making a lot of noise which totally freaked him out.

    He eventually managed to rip off the handle (glad it was a paper bag) while dragging it under some furniture, but he was quite traumatized after that. Didn’t come out of his favorite hiding spot for half a day.

      I had a cat which almost the same thing happened to, except with a plastic bag. For most of the rest of her life when she heard plastic crinkling she would run and hide.

        One of our cats had the same thing happen. Both times with paper bags. He made a huge mess of our room the first time it happened. It’s years later and if he’s doing something he shouldn’t be, I crinkle a plastic bag softly and he runs away.

        It really was both. It took me quite a few seconds to even realize what going on, suddenly there was just noise and panic in the room. By the time I was trying to help he was already under the couch and almost free.

        But in hindsight it was really funny. I learned not to leave folded up bags lying on the couch though.

      Same thing happened to our cat except when it happened to our cat, she freaked out and rang around the house.

      She ran through the railing which caused the paper bag to rip. The bag then ripped in the worst way, with 90% of the bag ripping off but the paper handle was still around her neck. She got really scared and ran under our bed. She hid there for hours. Eventually she came out. I was able to grab on to the handle and she tried to run which caused the handle to rip off finally, freeing her.

      No injuries or anything and she was behaving normally an hour after the handle ripped off.

    He threw himself off a bloody cliff following a cat. Luckily he survived intact but I’ve never heard such a loud splash ever since.

    My pug who passed recently would eat literally anything. This includes raw potatoes that he dug out of the ground himself, very hot peppers off the plant (he was delighted with this), a jar of dried soup beans, and a bag of slivered almonds. The first two I simply never thought he’d think to eat, the beans and almonds I thought were out of reach and weren’t. He was absolutely fine each time and very pleased with himself. When my ex would bring the grocery buckets in, he would be waiting and take a chomp out of anything he could reach, celery or lettuce or peppers. It really was cute despite the horrible poops he would have, and I miss him awful.

    Cat had a habit of licking plastic grocery bags. Didn’t care two bits for catnip, but would go gaga for plastic bags. Well, one day the goober got so into it that she got her head into a bag handle, noticed that something was off, and panicked. So you have this cat sprinting all over the house, running away from the bag that’s billowing and making scary noises just behind her… In the end she started running up the stairs, got the rest of the bag stuck under her paws, and just stood there in self-pity because she’s pinned herself down.

      I’ve been told it’s because some plastic bags are produced with fish oil or tallow added. They can smell it.

    My dog gets so lost in sniffing things that he walks into objects constantly. He’s walked directly into stop signs, a gas meter, people, and even walls.

    Not mine but a friend. They had a house with like 4 dogs. The biggest was a Golden who would enthusiastically nom other dogs’ necks. Then one day they noticed the air tag on one of the other dog’s collars was missing. Weirdly though it showed still in the house. I guess you can use your phone to tell it to make a sound to help you locate it. The sound was coming from inside the (golden) tum-tum! I forget how they retrieved it. I don’t think they needed surgery. But supposedly the air tag still worked after cleaning it up.

      You get an angry upvote for that. 🙄 🤣

      I don’t think they needed surgery.

      I’ll give you two guesses. The first guess (#1) doesn’t count. 😉

        Ha. That was actually unintended, but I’m leaving it as is.

        Out the “in” or out the “out”. I actually think it was the latter as it was too far along for inducing vomiting. I might have to check with the friend.

        Friend checked with. It was indeed vomiting. This was a larger golden. I think over 90 lbs (40kgs).

    We once put a Santa outfit on our yorkipoo, but it was a little too big and the hat ended up covering his eyes. He still wanted to play fetch (it’s all he ever thought about), so we threw his toy…and he ran full speed into a wall. I’d like to say he learned a lesson that day, but that dog was as dumb as he was adorable.

    My cat routinely jumps from a table onto my hot tub lid.

    One day he did it while the tub was open and we were in it. Realized his mistake way too late and tried to stop on the edge, but went face first into the water

    We watched our cat, on multiple occasions, take a piece of dry food out of his dish and play with it on the floor - batting it around and chasing it - for 10+ minutes, then eat it, then spend the next 10+ minutes looking for it. He was not the brightest.

    One morning we woke up to a complete stranger pounding on the door yelling “YOUR DOGS ON THE ROOF!!!”

    She had climbed out the attic window, and fell to the roof over the first floor. I don’t know how long she was pacing the roof trying to find a way back in.

    My late cat (the one in my pic) REALLY wanted my grocery-store sushi one time, but I didn’t give her any, so she decided to lick a big ol’ glob of the wasabi.

    She didn’t like it.
