Worst experience as a dog owner?!

When my top little racing bitch (greyhound obviously) had a horriffic fall in a race.

Started out in a wide box and as they jumped she shot down towards the rails. Just as she was about to cross the field she got brought down from behind and flipped nose to tail 3-4 times before she went out of camera view. Trainer said later that she'd hit the outside barrier with full force and it gave out a huge crash on the tin fence. A woman trainer standing behind the boxes let out some terrifying scream such was the sight of the impact.

Watching her flip like that I was sure she was dead.

The race finished and as the last dog to finish crossed the line the camera stayed on the time clock near the finishing line.

I was quite upset by what had just happend as she was a greyhound of the year at her home track and her biggest fault was also her greatest strength. She was the toughest dog I ever come across, but she was also very small for a greyhound. And as she'd been a runt of the litter and was such a brave little dog she meant a lot to me.

Then a mate pushes me on the shoulder about 10-15 seconds after the last dog had crossed the line and motions to look up at the screen. I look up and there was my little girl chasing back into the finishing pen.

Don't think i've ever felt so much relief in my life at seeing that little dog appear on the screen and hobble back into and I'm not ashamed to admit I got a bit teary.

That night I rang the trainer and I retired her from racing.

The most frightening moment was watching this male Rottweiler go for my Staffie Rosie early one morning in the park and watch two other Rotties just circling the fight waiting to jump in. I screamed at this woman to get them off of her, but she panicked and had no idea what to do. I was about to go wading in boots flying, but Rosie knew what she was doing and bit his cock and ran off into the bushes. The woman then tried to have a pop at me saying there's usually no one over here at this time in the morning. My reply isn't repeatable, but reported her to the council dog warden and never seen them since.

Apart from that it's just the usual, every so often she likes to try and chow down on human shit that some dirty ******* has left in the bushes, but she's stopped doing that ever since switching her to a raw diet.

So today I think I had my worst experience as a dog owner.

Me and the dog went for a lovely walk this morning. Parked at Hove Lagoon and walked to the Palace Pier and back stopping for breakfast at the Meeting Place Cafe on the way back.

So we get to outside Oh So (I think) a bar near the pier. As I walk around the corner I find him eating a huge pile of sick left over from last night!! I am not a happy dog owner!! The place was shut so couldn't moan at anybody but seriously sometimes Brighton is a Shit hole. Ruined an otherwise lovely morning. Rant over.

Feel free to vent your experiences........

Is that it?

The white one, very sadly no longer with us, has eaten:-

Sick.
Excrement - Horse, cow, sheep, rabbit, human, bird.
Pheasant - Live and dead.
Rabbits - Live and dead (the capture of the live rabbit nearly killed him, he was so tired)
Seagull - Live and dead (to this day I still don't know how he got the live one)
Fish - Dog and flat.
and that's just what instantly comes to mind.

He though gets out grossed by his 'brother', the black one (can I say that?):-

I once found him licking the sweat off a passed out dossers head. Classy.

To a point I agree.

My dog would shit and then turn around and try to eat it.......and when we were running free in the woods, if she ever found a pile of fox crap - heaven help us - I'd have to hose her off with detergent - for some reason she found the foul mess an alluring perfume to be rolled around in - and ingested. WTF?

 

[Nibble]

My Saluki used to run like an effing whippet, not surprising seeing as they were originally bred, surprisingly as sport sled racers in Alaska, anyway I digress. As soon as she was off the lead up in Norfolk she would pelt across the beach. Inevitably returning with fish, rats, rabbits and invariably having rolled in fox shit.

Really?! He was 5 metres in front of me. You are an idiot. What do you propose? Dogs being kept on leads their whole life.

Maybe in the case of you and your dog, you should be wearing a muzzle.

Yep dogs love fox shit it's like a badge of honour.

Had a couple of scary ones with my dog. One was when I was walking him in a park when suddenly he just WENT. Completely ran off through a bush. I heard a tyre screech and was already in tears in anticipation of killing the family god (I was about 13/14).

Needless to say I walked through the bush and saw a smiling golden retriever holding a new tennis ball in his mouth, tail wagging and just sitting in the middle of the road.

Never walked him again in that park. Miss the fella.

Archie (the greyhound in my profile pic, who sadly had to be put to sleep two weeks ago - still haven't come to terms with it) once found a very freshly abandoned rabbit head. Presumably some other fortunate dog had tucked into the body. He grabbed it before I had a chance to grab him, and very proudly trotted along with it in his gob for a few minutes. It looked most fetching with the little fluffy bunny ears poking out of the side of his jaws.

Finally, he couldn't resist the temptation any longer and started to chew. I can vividly recall the sound of crunching skull and brains as he polished it off. Didn't do his guts any harm, though.

My Retriever would run like Forrest Gump, in calipers, when out and about.
That is right up until the moment he saw a target.

His whole body would drop.
His legs would shorten.
His paws would claw at the ground.
He would turn into a sleek tracer missile.

Absolutely impossible to catch.
The one live rabbit he caught was sat 200-300 foot away in the middle of an open field.
He dropped what was left of it at my feet and collapsed.
He couldn't move for 15 minutes.

Archie caught two live rabbits in the five and a half years we had him. With the first one, he was on lead, and with the second, he barely broke into a trot.

Like most greyhounds, he didn't believe in exerting himself unless absolutely necessary.

My dog sniffed out the lair of a hermit called 'Mad John' (very Ogdens nut gold flake ain't it!) who lived deep in Bedgbury Pinetum. The old boy hollered and screamed and scared the living shit out of me - he hated dogs. As a curious 15 year old I went back the next week and the hermit had moved camp - leaving behind a strange refuse of empty tuna cans bike parts and human excrement - no wonder my dog sniffed him out!
