Carl Tyler's Blog :: Seven things that make you go eeeuuuggghhhh

Category None
Owning a dog has certain implications, many of them that make you go eeeuuuggghhhhm, I had one of them happen this morning, which leads me to this gross but true and honest list of things that can and do happen with dogs...Be warned, DO NOT read these if your are easily disgusted, or still think dogs and puppies are cute and cuddly. So my top seven things that make you go eeeuuuggghhhh about owning a dog are:

You get out of bed and walk into the kitchen bleary eyed, to awake sharply with the feeling of dog vomit sliding between your toes. (that was this morning)
On a walk around your local park, your dog runs back to you all excited having found a special gift that it wants to give you. You can't quite see what it is and the dog is too excited to drop it, so you reach into the dogs mouth to discover a used condom. (I'm glad to say that this was not Jessie but another dog, Jess will drop on command thank goodness)
You come back from a long day at work to discover your dog had diarrhea, in more than one room
The shoulder shuffle, this is something dogs like to do when they discover something we can't see, it's normally something that smells really bad and a smell that sticks to the dog for days.
Dog burps, yes dogs do burp (head and bottom), and the worst has to be a dog burp right in your face straight after it has eaten. Seriously disgusting.
Throwing up without quite reaching the bathroom, to then see your dog start eating the sick.
The worst has to be, finding that the pooh bag has a hole in it about 1 second after you pick the pooh up.

Feel free to add any of your own...

1 - These are not all "eeeuuuggghhhh" but are "funny" instead:

- Your dog eating crickets.
- Catch your dog playing with a scorpion inside your house
- Diarrhea, when you have carpet. I saw this one in a friend's house, the dog was like 100 pounds. Do the numbers

2 - I had a prissy little toy poodle once that ate slugs. Glued her mouth shut! The prissy poodle I have now, rolls in dead rotting animals.

3 - ... not all "dog kisses" are wanted ... especially if the dog has a liking for eating other dog's pooh or has just finished licking their own (or another dog's) bottom.

4 - Parvovirus. Most awful thing that can happen to a dog owner. (Not all that awful for the dog, surprisingly... but it'll scare the hell out of YOU.)

5 - lounging on the couch or curling up for a good night sleep only to feel a tick crawling over you ... courtesy of hitching a ride on your dog.
