Just said the F word to my dog...!

Just got back from the shops. Daft dog Jack went into his usual ecstasy like he hadn't seen me for a year though I'd only been gone an hour.

Raced round the living room like a maniac, crashed right into me and knocked me flying. I landed on my knee which has swelled up like a football and is going a lovely shade of blue.

I'm ashamed to say I used the F word to him and he made me feel sooo guilty then because he cowered in the corner as if he gets beaten up every day of his life...!

The joys of dog ownership, eh?

    Sounds a bit like my dog. He just can't help himself. Makes me feel incredibly guilty too. I'm not sure if I've used the F-word though. :eek:

    Don't worry.

    Although I haven't said the F word. I have gone "Bloooming Dog" after getting knocked over a couple of times. Oh the guilt I suffered. :o

    Normally I do limit my abuse to the dogs to milder swear words...! But he totally poleaxed me and I was carrying shopping which went everywhere when I hit the deck - I wasn't best pleased.

    My other dog Lucy made herself scarce but Jack just sat there shaking and cowering, poor baby.

    My husband said HE'D be shaking and cowering if I swore at HIM like that!

    Ooooh, I do feel guilty now. I'll go and hobble out to the kitchen to get Jack a biscuit.....!

    They're masters at the guilt trip. Thats what made them "mans best friend" all these years. :rotfl:

    I've sworn at my dogs a few times. They're generally very well behaved but every now and again they drag a few fupping heck's out of me.

    They're so sweet - most of the time - but even the best behaved dog can be an absolute pain in the backside sometimes.

    Jack's just so excitable and goes wild with joy when he sees me, even if I've only been in the shower. I'm home all day with him so it's not like he's ever on his own much. And when he has that "mad half hour" thing, racing round the house like a creature possessed, I usually stay out of his way. Just wasn't quick enough this time, hence the gammy knee and the F word!
  • I have shouted mine in from the garden by calling out 'come on idiots' my neighbour creased with laughter when he saw them come running :o
    :D
