It never ceases to amaze me what pet owners will do for their darling pets. My dog was on the playing field yesterday, munching her way through a great clump of long grass. I was running up to her shouting and trying to drag her away......... You see, I knew what was coming.
Later in the day, while I was getting my face on for the Accyweb do, the dog was whining to go out into the back garden. I dutifully let her out to do her buisness. Back into the kitchen she trotted and was just about to start toboganning across the kitchen lino when I shouted "NO."
Hanging from her rear end was a piece of undigested grass!!!!! How disgusting.... I grabbed a wad of kitchen roll and proceeded to remove a 4 inch long blade of grass from her jacksie....
Why oh why did I ever end up with this dog?????? What with cleaning my drains and now the dog, my life is becoming one giant cr@pfest....... However, that is not the worst thing I have heard. I once heard on a radio show that a fella had seen something hanging out of his young dog's bottom. When he pulled at it, it was a complete bin liner that the dog had swallowed during a chewing session.. How gross!!!!
I have always enjoyed being a pet owner, but I have to admit some of the things you have to do for them equates to what a parent has to do for a small child. My vet once offered to teach me how to squeeze my dog's anal glands. I think my reply was "NOT ON YOUR NELLY!!!!!!" "That's what I pay you for."
Despite the grass experience, I had a great time at the meet-up. I never regailed the grass story as I didn't want to put anyone off their lovely steak pie. I did tell Sparky before we got there, but you could slaughter someone infront of Sparks and he would carry on eating anyway.
