Oh Kris that was a terrific read, have you any more?

ps It's not THAT embarrassing but on Sunday evening Peter was in the garage and Sparky was with him, I was in the house catching up on some paper work. All of a sudden there was a commotion in the lounge, I investigated to find Sparky struggling to get a plank of wood onto the settee. I took the plank, with Sparks hanging on the end, outside and asked Peter if he recognised it, he said it was part of next door's fence, he'd only pulled it off when he was supposed to be in the garage with Peter. We waited until it was a bit dark and then fixed it back on. I wasn't cross with Sparks because he's a daft puppy, I was more cross with Peter for being a daft husband and not watching him.

oh ok then!well this wasnt my dogs embarrassing me i did this one all by myself!i used to be on the committee of a local canine society and was on the door taking the money as folk came in.well one night this young couple came in with this dobermann puppy.it truly was the ugliest pup id ever seen in my life!it had every fault listed in the breed standard and more besides. (w00t) anyway we were all talking about it and saying fancy someone selling that as a show puppy.so then this woman comes in who i knew slightly as a dobermann breeder and of course we started talking about this awful puppy.so she said where is it,well i proceeded to tell her how awful this pup was and what kind of person would sell this poor young couple a pup like that as a show puppy.so the next thing the young couple came in and i said to this lady there it is now.so she looked.and guess what she said?thats my son and daughter in law with one of my pups. (w00t) i could feel my face burning red hot. :b so of course i started to back peddle.oh no its no them,its someone else who was here for training.she said well where are they?and of course there wasnt anyone else there with a dobermann puppy.so im stuttering and stammering and trying desperately to dig myself out of this hole im in.(noone ever told me that when you hit rock bottom stop digging!)anyway i learned my lesson.i never passed negative comment on anyones dog ever again. o (well at least not in the company of folk i didnt know welll!!!) :- "

When Leon was a pup he was absolutely obsessed with crisps and could hear a crisp packet rustle from 50 yards :clown:

We were in the pub :- " with him sleeping soundly next to us o and accross the table from us were the Mumbles Real Ale Society who are all very serious about their beer :b

There were 10 of them :unsure: and one by one they all came back to the table singing the praises of their chosen prized beer :wacko:

Just as they'd all settled down to savour their beers :b the one furthest away from us opened up his bag of crisps and laid it out in front of him so the others could share

Then from out of nowhere came Leon (w00t) he sprinted across our table and leapt onto theirs :b and thats when he started sliding :b I still remember the confused look on his face as he realised his legs weren't working on the shiny wet table :clown:

He managed to knock nine of their pints over and the man with the crisps panicked so much at the sight of the mad dog sliding towards him :b that he knocked his own pint over :lol:

Most of them had a laugh about it :unsure: but some of them still give us dirty looks :lol:

Cheers

That is so funny Steve .. :lol: :lol:

The only one springs to mind with me is the time (not that long ago) when a Policeman came to the house to make a statement when we had had our tyres slashed.

My hubby and the policeman had just sat down round our table to write the statement and Kobi came down and sat and cr......ed right next to him :x Luckily he owned a puppy himself and did see the funny side ...... but I still felt :b : :b

............

oh yes..........

And there was the time when we had Chip and we used to meet my son out of school and they had all baked little biscuits that day. Well Chip just lunged forward snatched the biscuit out of Waynes hand and his friends too, and ate them post haste. :lol: :lol:

Got some funny looks off the other mams. :- "

We took our newly obtained adopted hound, Simba, to a 'show' class we'd been invited along to as an extension to his obedience classes he'd completed.

Upon arriving, he spotted two very large belgian shepherds he knew in passing, which he bounded over to, very excited, and bemused them by wriggling on his back in between them and then, having gotten a little 'over excited' [if you know what I mean! :- " ] he finished by proceeded to pee upwards all over the place before being dragged out by his collar still on his back!

We didn't continue going for very long after that....!

My cats caused the worst embarrassment I experienced. :b Some years ago I met this fantastic man, thinking all my dreams came through. We had a lovely evening and returned to my place only to find that my 2 oriental cats c.....d all over my bed. :x :rant:

He departed rather hurriedly! Not that I blamed him, the whole place stunk, I felt like running away too!

They never did anything like that before or after.

This is not exactly funny but we have laughed about it in hindsight.

A few years ago I had two bitches (mother and daughter) who, one day, out of the blue, decided they hated each other and got into a huge fight at home (over nothing that was immediately, or even later, apparent to me).

I decided from that point that I would not let them be together any more.

Then one day I was at a show with my other whippet friends, one of whom had recently sold a pup to some people who were there at the show looking at all of our whippets. He was telling them how wonderful whippets are and asked me to get mine out of the crates so they could see. I took the girls and my male out of the crates (on leads) and stood with Chelsea in one hand and Billie and the male in the other. I didn't really think there would be any worry as they had never caused a problem whilst on lead. Just as my friend said "See! They all get on wonderfully together..." out of nowhere, Chelsea flew for Billie, and a major fight was in progress with me trying to separate them and keep the boy out of the firing line in the process. Eventually another friend came to my aid and dragged Chelsea away but she never stopped lunging and growling and straining at the lead and it was obvious that her sole intention was to finish Billie off.

It was the worst advertisement for our beautiful breed that those two could have ever given. I have no idea what those poor people thought but I was too embarrassed (and at the time too shaken) to raise my head and look them in the eye, but did try to make it clear that I had no explanation for their behaviour and that it was NOT normal for whippets.

 

[aslan]

Sorry, some thing went wrong and I couldn't edit

Wanted to say that in hindsight, we have laughed about the timing of the dogs' indiscretion - not what they actually did.

 

[OEH]

Did they ever get back to getting on?

Gladly has never been very tidy with his tail. Whenever he lies down it is always at full stretch out behind him. One day we were at a Club show in a rather small hall. I was standing watching the judging with Gladly on a loose lead, lying on the floor by my feet. The judge had awarded best Bitch and was considering the dog and bitch for Best in Show. The hall was almost silent. The judge went back to the table picked up the rosette and started to move across the ring. Suddenly there was a almighty yelp and Gladly shot straight up in the air. The poor person who got Best in Show was immediately of secondary interest as EVERYBODY turned round to find out what had happened. Needless to say, Gladly was fine and delighted at the fuss, but both I and the well known K9er who had accidentaly trodden on his tail were scarlet!! :b

(Sorry Lydia )

speaking of fights.......i remember going to a training class one night and a young couple who had bought a dobermann pup from us ,were accompanying us as id persuaded them that the pup was of good enough quality to show and wed talked them into it by telling them what a lovely hobby showing was,what nice people you met and what a great social occasion it was.anyway wed got our drinks and were sat down and started watching the training.they agreed with me that it looked like a nice hobby and there were nice people there who had admired their puppy.next minute a couple who were stood at the bar,started shouting as the hubs ex wife came in and smashed a bottle over the head of the exs girlfriend.all hell broke loose!fighting,screaming,dogs barking,you can imagine the rest.at the end of it i was so embarrassed cos id been telling the couple what a nice hobby it was. :b as the bodies started flying everywhere the young couple turned to me and said 'is it like this every week?' (w00t) (btw the combatants were whippy folk!) :- "

I had an Afgan who used to steel icecreams from kids in the park, I tried to watch for children and get him on the leash before he could do anything. But he was too clever, fast and not very good on recall, so most of the time i just pretended he was not with me :sweating: and disappered behind the nearest bush.

I've just remembered another one.......

We 'adpoted' Vader from the RSPCA - so we went along to the 're-union' and dog show day that the held a few months later. ofcourse I was keen to show off how clever Vader was, and the things he had learnt in the few motnhs he was with us...so we entered the beginners obedience class. The best thing he did was have big poo as he was walking to heal. That's what he thought of the RSPCA re-union :b

Last year I entered him in a local dog show, same sort of class which he could have done with out even trying...and what did he do? Ran out of the ring and into the next ring to see the nice Red Setter that was being judged :b :angry:

Oh Yes, and then there was the time he had a huge poo outside Next in Taunton, which took 2 bags to pick up.

Or how about the time he got out of the garden when we lived in Newcastle and chased a cat down the street (OMG sorry if you read this Kirsten cos I think it was William he was after (w00t) ). I have no idea how he got out of the garden to this day. We'd only had him for a week or so, and all we saw was him dash past the front window after the cat, knocking over next doors milk bottles as he went. Gary decided to chase him to try and catch him...but obviously couldn't, and on his way back home he popped into one of the neighbours houses, in through the front door, out through the back, and then back home. :b

Oh, yes, and there was the time he went into Asda on his own, and the bloke at the front with the microphone (the one that welcomes everyone and announces the deals etc) was shouting - 'there is a dog in the store - stealing sandwhiches from the fridge'. Gary just calmly walked in with Obi and retrieved him :- "

(There was a country park behind Asda so we used to park in there and he escaped from the boot while Gary was putting Obi in.)

Actually that dog has led us a merry dance since the day we got him :- "

Good job he's calmed down a bit now.

And another Vader Story...

My friend and I went to Alnwick County Fair a few years back, with our dogs, and we took them for a wander to see the horses that were there for the carriage driving. We couldn't believe the stables that were set up for Prince Charle's horses, so we were skulking about to have a better look, and Prince Charles himself was there, in a deck chair having a cuppa - he said to his minion 'look at that peculiar looking hound' and pointed at Vader (w00t) - at which point my mate dragged me off before I told Prince Charles who I thought was peculiar looking :angry:

Oh, yes - and he barked at Hear Say in the green room of GMTV once - but that wasnt embarassing - it was a proud moment

I mean - does this dog look like he would cause any of the aforementioned trouble? :wub:

This happened to OH when on holiday on the narrowboat. He needed to go shopping and took Bobby with him (didn't have Dolly then). Went into Boots the Chemist and, very stupidly, :blink: :blink: tied Bobby to one of those metal advertising stands outside. Bobby decided to follow him in, dragging said stand behind him. Poor Bobby, absolutely terrified with this thing dragging behind him, proceeds to c**p in the shop. :x :x So glad I wasn't there.
