Buddy my dog doesn't seem to have coped very well since the new baby has come. He's very quiet now and withdrawn and hides away alot of the time. Noticed he keeps licking his back leg in one spot and he has licked the fur away now. Still eating, drinking and is fine when out the house on walks. Anyone else had a problem like this before I get bummed at the vets? He's getting lots of attention, he isn't being ignored.

Was wondering if we'd need to take ours to the vets Thursday night, she was moping about all night and making small gagging noises most of the evening. I tried to have a feel of her throat for anything obvious but nowt. Decided if she was same next day get her to vets, but she seemed fine yesterday. This morning she was trying to scrape her arse about outside then noticed she was trying to shit out one of the Mrs socks. Fecking idiot. 😂

I suppose we're lucky it just worked its way through without any issues. 

I remember chasing my dog around the house trying to get tinsel from the Christmas tree out of its arsehole... the daft bugger had been nicking treats off the tree and had eaten some decorations

Don't be a homophobe to dogs. If he wanted to, he could lick you to death. 

Those jolly coloured sticks, 'treats' - fuck knows what they make them from, one dumb bastard dog of mine shat one out pretty much whole.

I was only young and didn't know any better.

My sister (handful) cooks a couple of sausages every day and feeds them, on top of his regular dog food', to her 'Eddie off Frasier' sized Jack Russell, I'm a 6' 2" bloke and wouldn't eat two sausages a day.

He doesn't even get walks off his lead unless I visit and take him out.

She'll be inconsolable when he dies of coronary failure at 6.

She spoils him all the wrong ways - dunno why some get dogs when they don't know their arse from the elbow about them.

Arrange a 'play date' with Graham Norton's cockapoo.

Be warned though, he (Buddy boy) may bundle his toys and bowl etc. into a spotty hanky on a stick and him and Norton's hound may make off for a new life in Brighton.

To be honest, I think he's a bit bi. Shag owt. 

So he's butch not bitch.

Favvers a taker to me but whatever you say.

Just keep him away from the clutches of Eammon Holmes.

The amount of fat dogs that they see at my missus place is unreal.

”it’s only a little treat”

A massive sausage for a dog is the equivalent of a human eating about 8 sirloin steaks.

But dogs are hardwired to eat until they burst, so will always demand more.

Killing them with kindness then moaning because the vet has given you a bollocking and a massive invoice.

 

She gives the lad a little bit of everything she eats, shit like spaghetti bolognese...

I'm sure onion is toxic to dogs.

Then again so is chocolate but a mate's dog once ate about twenty Easter eggs, foil and all and seemed unharmed.

Dogs really aren’t set up for processed foods. 

It’s weird, really. They’re over sensitive to salty food yet will drink out of a puddle full of mud, dogshit and lice and come to no harm.

And I’ll never know why, when they have such a remarkable sense of smell, they need to sniff another dog’s shit by putting their nose right up against it.

I've told her this, that shit quality raw steak would do less harm, she buys all these strange 'treats' from pound shops an' all, he'll probably peg it by 6.

He rules the roost an' all.

Give them a good hiding, early on, just the once, when they're defiant.

Works with kids that, too.

Onion is, as is garlic. Some dogs have a better tolerance to it than others. One of my clients dogs ate an entire tray of brownies and lived to tell the tale.

One of my collies once ate en entire fruit cake; raisins the lot. Unaffected apparently, but was unhappy at the dose of emetic, and spewing the lot back in the vets car park.

Grapes too I think...

Then again they reckon' booze is bad for them.

Yet I don't think I've ever had, or been in charge of temporarily, a dog I haven't got pissed up at least once.

When I've looked after other folk's dogs I've renamed them - in a Kunta Kinte/Toby from 'Roots' stylee.

By the time I hand them back, they don't respond to their original name.

Grapes=raisins.

Nah, different plant, raisins only grow in California.

Grapes grow pretty much everywhere.

And I know about growing non-native plants in the UK - intimately.

Piece of piss that, once had one sprout out of bird food.

Try growing your own raisins though. Easy if you have a rabbit.

It's utterly pointless - the seeds we got in our 'deals' were always male.

They could grow to the size of the Christmas tree Norway gives to Britain each year, and did, but the harvest was futile, no active ingredients...

I have smoked plant matter from a male in a roll-up the size of one of Arthur Daley's cigars and absolutely no effect whatsoever.

Try telling that to the coppers though.

I bought a book on indoor horticulture from Amazon in its early days, for about £12...You needed a PhD in Agriculture to make head or tail of it, I gave up. I flogged it years later and it was hotly competed for, sold for about £80...

Probably earned the winning bidder a packet if they could decipher it.

Right. 

Since the introduction of this sprog that's all I see on your Facebook and Snapchat.

Wouldn't even know you had a dog. 

That's the issue.

Take the dog to the zoo.

Soz. Gone are the days of uploading pics from nights out where I was being a total slaaag. Now I bore people to death with baby pics. Plus if I'd of took yon mon to zoo he'd of tried bum a lion or giraffe to or something. 

We've got a ginger Cockapoo called  WtD (Wilf the Dog). He's six at Christmas and been done. He still climbs aboard dogs he's been running about with.

They're sociable little chaps the cockapoo and you are more likely to get suffocated with affection than owt else.

Let’s be honest the lion would be the bummer not the bummee
