Embarrasing/Naughty Pets

my 1st car at 17, was a Vauxhall chevette (was back in the late 80s), little hatchback, our dog at the time use to love coming out in the car, he would always start off in the boot, then clamber over to the back seat, then front seat, - so course in the end he just went in the front seat.
this one afternoon - mums bday, her friend had came across and they had a few drinks... to the extent this lady couldn't walk home - even thou it was 5 min walk, as I hadn't drunk said I'd drive her, so the dog came with us, he started in the boot, hadn't even started off when he climbed to the back seat, - then he was put out as his seat was occupied, so the whole journey he sat with his paws on her shoulder.... she never had a lift again!!
The last dog we lost, he was very friendly with the caretakers dog at the local school, all that divides our house from school is a 10ft high wire fence... the dogs were inseperable, and we always use to give the both dogs a biscuit... I'd just had DD so was slobbing in bridget jones style knickers.. the dog gets them from the radiator, pushes them under the fence to the other dog, who then proceeds to give them to his owner xxx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx0 -
We have 2 very well behaved cats and one who is a thief. He is 7 months old so no idea how long this will go on...
So far he has stolen:
Make up sponges
a silicone egg poacher
a leopard print ball
purple sparkly ball
cat toy on a stick with a tail about 1 metre long
ball with long feathery tail
green ball
In the last 2 days he has eaten 3 iphone chargers - one of which was brand new and bought to replace the other old ones he'd eaten.
My parents had a lovely beagle who was an absolute menace when it came to food (aren't they all). She stole the Christmas chocolates from our luggage whilst we were staying, snuck off down the garden with them and ate them behind the greenhouse, leaving the wrapping as evidence. Yes, we know chocolate is poisonous for dogs....
She also had a penchant for dirty underwear, regularly eating the crotch out of any that she found in the laundry bin, and once brought the toilet brush from the bathroom to lick clean in front of some visitors.
She was an absolute sweetheart tho and sadly they lost her a couple of months ago to heart failure.0 -
My Oscar (best cat that ever lived) used to do rude things with my clothes. He was neutered but still felt sexy. Socks, knickers, bras. Did`nt care who was in the house, he`d do it in front of anyone. I had a big thick terry dressing gown, that was his fave. He used to come downstairs dragging it, teeth firmly clamped. He`d drop it, walk round it arrange it just how he liked it then give it a good seeing to. People were amazed. He`s been gone 20 years and I still miss him.0

We'd just gotten my MIL and FIL a poodle puppy, it was my MIL's birthday, so she had a lovely cake. We'd all had a slice, so MIL wrapped it up and put it in the kitchen right at the back of the worktop (she had had dogs before), so that she could take the rest of it into work the next day. What she didn't realise though was that Rosie was already very tall and could reach the back of the worktops. She had taken a massive bite out of the cake, cling film and all...0

I have had my underwear posted through my letter box on numerous occasions by the postman.
Little Sod is quite good at stealing it and hiding it in flower beds in the front garden!
He has also stolen a packet of sanitary towels out of my shopping bag, and stood at the front gate waving them to all of the school kids waiting for the bus.
He ate the front door mat and was pooping coconut matting for a week.
He ate a carrier bag and ended up with handles coming out of both ends (made it easier to help its exit!).
He ran through the living room during a family party and swiped the birthday cake off the coffee table before anyone could stop him.
I love my pesky mutt!0 -
I have too many stories, my 2 labs are lovely but absolutely mortifying sometimes!!
I think my best story is from a game fair a few years ago. I was walking him past a woman pushing a toddler in a buggy who had a sandwich in his hand, Bubs, as subtle as anything, slyly took the sandwich as we walked past and only noticed as the Mum of the toddler was laughing her head off (Could have been a lot worse I guess!)
They might drive me mad sometimes but life would be very dull without our lovely pets

Nearly forgot about this beauty too...
My other lab is scraggy looking rescue, totally sweet natured but occasionally goes a bit savage around nature.
I was walking him in Victoria park in Bath when he ran off, jumped in the lake and started swimming after ducks. I was mortified!!
Thankfully he seems to forget they can fly, if he ever caught one I'd have no idea what to do with it...0 -
When he was younger, the lab would jump on to me. I remember one time, my thighs were covered in bruises and I looke as though I'd had a bit of a beating.
I'm sure he's gone up to my dad and uncle and just smacked them between their legs.
And he's smacked me in the face with his paw. In his defence, I was trying to get a reaction from him by blowing in his face...Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked

I can't think of anything embarrassing that our cats have done off the top of my head but Boo, the cat down the road from us, stole a defrosting chicken from the house behind them once and dragged it home. Boo's slaves found him munching on it in the back garden. They had to go around and find out what weight it was so the could replace it. Luckily the owners of the chicken had a good sense of humour and weren't too upset.
When I used to walk my nana's greyhounds one of them had a habit of stuffing their nose in the crotch of any man that stopped to stroke them, that was a little awkward at times lol.0 -
My border collie can be quite cheeky, though not as much now as she's old.
About 10 years ago, we lived next to a lovely elderly lady who liked to leave her front door open and sit in her doorway just watching the world go by, and she had a small dog (can't remember what breed it was) called Jack. Now, our border collie got very excited by Jack, and would frequently jump over the wall between over front gardens (victorian terraced house so low walls), into Jacks house and come back with loads of his toys. He got his own back one day though when he was invited around to play in the back garden and wandered into our dining room and casually cocked his leg up border collie's bed.
And nother time, we took border collie to a fancy manor house with woods and gardens, whilst walking in front of the very sedated and regal house that had a very petty and large duck pond. People sat all around this pond painting it, all very peaceful until we turn away from it to walk towards to woods and hear an uproar of ducks flapping and quacking, turn around just in time to see border collie getting out of the water and shaking all over the artists....
And our german shepherd, well we were painting the hall way one day, including all door frames (as he likes to run his back down walls as hes about to sit against them, being larger than the average GSD, the walls turn black very quickly), he decided to do this whilst the wall was wet, realising his mistake, he got up but did the same thing against a door frame. His long fluffy fur that was already wet with emulsion then got stuck the the gloss on the door frame. We had to cut him free, and then had to strip the door frame to remove the fur.0
