ways your dog has embarrased you - Page 3

Yellowrose,

I broke up a fight early one morning between my old dog mentioned above and a young male I had at the time,  When I grabbed the young dog to pull him back he swung around and nailed me with 1 tooth in the forearm.  It was not a big deal but I work at a hospital and everyone kept saying I better be on antibiotics, so I stopped by the ER and asked if they would have to report it if I asked to be seen, I know most of the nurses but I couldnt get them to budge on the rules.  So I said forget it and called a Doc friend of mine at home,  I told him I just broke up a dog fight and the first thing he said was "What pharmacy do you want me to phone the prescription in to???"  LOL..  I think it is crazy to have to quarantine your own animals..  I got lucky that time too..

I also had an instance when my horse bit a friend of mine in the neck right by his jugular and we actually told them he fell, as I was afraid they would want to quarantine the horse.  That was a weird day I had just lost and buried my old Corgi and I think the horse must have smelled the death smell or something, my friend had just carried the dog to bury it in the hole, not 3 minutes before.  The horse had NEVER done anything like that and I had had him since he was a colt, he was approx 5 years old and I had him probably 5 more years and he never did anything like that again.. It was the weirdest thing.  He reached right over the stall door and bit his neck.  We were both really sad over the loss of my Corgi and instantly the sadness was focused on getting him to the hospital and not quite so much on the sadness..

My dog Tyr has a nose on her that is unbelievable. Well I bought Food Lion brand dog bones and mixed them in with Milk bones. She got into the container I had them in and I found all the generic bones in a pile on the floor and she was happily picking through the Milk Bones as I caught her. Little bugger.

Does your dog peeing on your friends leg count ?

This is a true story that happend to my friend.  She has this little fluffy white yippy dog a bischon or something...lol  anyways this dog is very loving and really cute BUT he's got this "pissin'" problem her breeder told her he's a "marker".  My friends husband can't stand this dog and the only reason he's probably still in their house is because he's 10 years old now and the kids would be devastated.  One day they had Buster locked in the bathroom and the husband went in to go pee; as he's standing there handling his business the dog comes over very calmly and lifts his leg on him.  My girlfriends husband was so steaming mad...all we could hear outside the bathroom was "you wanna piss on me you little *(#&er, well here ya go, right back at cha".  He pissed on the dogs head! lol  I couldn't believe it.  On one hand I thought that was just awful, but I couldn't help crackin' up laughing trying to picture this episode in the bathroom with a grown man and a little 10 pound white fluffy dog.

Doing Therapy Dog Work at the Hospital one night with just 1 other dog, we were making the rounds on the 4th floor as usual before going to pediatrics. One room we visited had an elderly lady in the bed that was having visitors, apparently her daughter and her husband, as it was just after dinner and still visiting hour. The other dog with us was a Golden, mine of course my GSD, and with both dogs, both of us handlers, and the patient and her visitors, the room was slightly crowded. The female visitor was next to the bed in quiet conversation with her mother when we announced our entrance. She welcomed our visit and backed up her chair but apparently left her purse on the bed. The Golden and handler went to "visit" with the elderly patient first and when putting her paws up on the bed to "greet" the patient, she bumped the purse. Well, out of the purse rolled a "object" which rolled from the bed, dropped to the floor and proceeded to roll under the bed towards our side. Immediatly my TDI dog and trained Service Dog instinctivly reached under the bed to pick up the dropped item as she is trained to do of course. Well, my Dog as trained, handed me the "object". I then of course had to pass it over to the other handler, who had to hand it over to the patient who had to hand it over to her daughter in front of her husband and a nurse who had also come in. Lol, everyone there was blushing except my dog who was ever so proud thinking she must have done a great job as everyone in the room had started to chuckle. The runaway object we had had to pass around the room was a Tampax.

Was nice to bring smiles to a patient and her company.....but not exactly the way we normally do it.   *laffin*

We were at  family cookout and my very large, sedentary Aunt (that I love!!!) was sitting in a yard chair.  She only moves to pick up another Marlboro red.  Anyhoo, my male Nero decided to cock his leg up and mark her.  She got up after that b/c my moms Pyrenees was coming over and looked to be ready to mark behind Nero. 

My GSD rescue, Tasha, had a real nose on her. She never could have made it as a service dog like Ranger, because to her dying day, she could not resist doing a crotch sniff  or bum sniff on people she met.

Roger was putting groceries in the car one day,  and I'm guessing that Tasha had jumped out and was sniffing around (he was really bad about keeping her under control). Suddenly, he heard this female voice say, "OH! I really love dogs, but this is TOO MUCH!"

He turned around to find Tasha with her head buried underneath the lady's skirt. What was even MORE embarrassing was the woman turned out to be an off-duty K9 police officer!    She gave Roger a polite lecture in teaching our dog the meaning of "NO SNIFF!"

Unfortunately, for Tasha, that was like asking her to "not breathe"! The lesson was never learned very well. She was a superb tracker, though, and I wish I'd been able to take her further than just a Level 1 course with the tracking. Alas, since she wasn't registered, I couldn't do CKC tracking with her ( I don't think Canada had the equivalent of the ILP at that time) and an organization called OVERT has the monopoly on the volunteer SAR work in this part of the province.
