Fuck fuck fuckety fuck fuck fuck. My fucking dog just managed to a) shit on the floor, b) step in it, c) climb the unclimbable couch and track shit across it--right before the relatives come for fucking Thanksgiving. I don't think we're having turkey this year.

You've basically made me reminisce about my favourite episode of "Mad About You", so well done.
They didn't have poop, but they did have dog and turkey problems.

Isn't the choice to make a miserable violation of a wolf-descendent live trapped in your home basically signing up for some faeces smeared across the communal den?
I bet you get annoyed with it when it fails to understand English, even when spoken loudly. "Spot, come here. Here, Spot, right now! SPOT! Come here!"

Yeah, well one of our cats decided to wee in an expensive bassoon case the other day, it having been left in the open for about 10 milliseconds, in spite of the fact that said cat had never ever excreted anywhere except in the litter tray or outside before.
Still, you don't have to take cats for walks in the rain.

My granddog once came in wearing a dead squirrel hat. He found a (long) dead squirrel and managed to get it on top of his head. He was so proud.
Our cat has taken to pissing on the bed when she is upset; sometimes with my wife underneath her. And, although I keep trying, for some reason the owl that lives in our yard has yet to notice the cat as a food source.
At least the granddog makes up for his occasional faux pas by being affectionate. The cat - I may take up violin.

That's pretty rude LC. Our previous dog liked to eat the cat's poo. Then come and want to lick our faces. There's nothing quite like poopy dog breath, well I suppose humping your leg comes close. It's a great icebreaker with people you're trying to impress.
The current dog had diarrhoea and took to wiping her back end on the carpet, propelling herself forward with front legs, creating a nice streaky carpet, which the cat was quite interested in. We no longer have carpets.
Like children, dogs are parasites with their redeeming quality to be love.

LC, as a fellow dog-owner I guess my first reaction should be 'Aw, poor you!' But, dogs, shit, vomit, urine and finding said animal and substances in various inappropriate places is part of the penalty, as Rook says, for the evolutionary arrogance of letting wolves get too close to the camp fire.
My lurcher has to be supervised when both my dogs go poop-poop, as he sits patiently waiting for the greyhound to defecate, and then makes a dive to gobble it up while it's still hot. Yummy! And just recently I spent the night superintending the lurcher's epic vomit-athon, as he trotted from room to room and without warning began boaking everything up; going out to the back yard to swallow grass, return and regurgitate it all over his bed, my bed, the carpet - only to repeat the cycle, literally ad nauseum, for a fun-filled evening of kitchen roll, floor cloth and dog-cleansing spray activities. And all the time he still looks up at me as if to say, 'But you don't mind, do you, Mum? Hey, will I finish off that toast for you - and what about those biscuits... and that plate needs licking, and these dead insects under the sofa look nice and crunchy...'
The greyhound has a habit of pooping and then walking backwards through it, or using his two back legs to 'pretend-bury' his little parcel of joy, and in the process flicking it all over the gaff with his feet. As I'm usually trying to bag it up by this stage, this is a risky but no doubt, to the neighbours, fun-to-watch maneuvre.
Tortuf, I love the image of the dog with the dead-squirrel hat. My first dog lived for those walks when she could roll orgasmically in fresh, preferably liquid, fox faeces. The look of smug happy achievement on her face as she stood dripping in crap was a sight to behold!

I took a life insurance physical a few years ago, and my blood pressure was about perfect. The nurse commented on it, and I marked it up to giving the dog lots of belly rubs.
He responded: "Isn't it funny how having a dog is both the cause of endless stress and the best way to relieve stress at the end of the day." Truer words, as they say...
(I will say this for kids: I would much rather hang out at the children's book group at the library than a dog park, because parents are far less judgmental that dog owners. My daughter can accidentally smack another kid in the face with a book, all I have to do is make an apologetic face and everyone generally appreciates it as an accident. But if your dog so much as sniffs the wrong dog at the dog park, you get read the riot act.)

I've had two different doctors, performing different procedures*, get me to relax by talking to me about my dog. It worked.

I would have thought gerbils to be too small for your taste. And I assume that the fish is a haddock.

The internet is full of stories (most of them unsubstantiated) about those who quite enjoy gerbils.

I'd love to see someone go all dog-whisperer on my two! Though I don't think my particular insurance covers it. TBH, so long as they're not chewing the legs off my visitors, I think my mutts pretty much behave acceptably, and according to their doggy nature. I've been very fortunate.

Please don't go there, LC. Some of us are sick.
I am home from work with a stomach bug. I have an elderly toy poodle sitting on my abdomen, strenuously resisting all attempts to move him. I am surrounded by the stuffing from several dismembered dog toys. The lambie slaughterer is lying at my feet, trying to get me interested in destroying another one, since that always makes him feel better. The blind one has decided that caring for the human does not feature on his To Do list, and is hiding under the bed.
