Embarrasing/Naughty Pets

            Ooops I think I woke up the kids laughing at post 33.
I have two dogs, one a huge GSD and an English cocker spaniel. The GSD is very little trouble.., reasonably well trained, a true softy. The ECS on the other hand is a completely different story. He's sneaky, he wags his whole body with delight when he see's someone he doesn't know (next victim). He decides if he's going to do what he's been told, is way more ferocious than the GSD when he's in the mood (yes he's been done, guaranteed to work I was told HAH!), and nearly as smart as a three year old.
Today my ex took him for a walk with the GSD. The GSD walks calmly besides my ex, no problem. Oliver obviously decided he wasn't playing, straight out of the car, he slipped the lead and disappeared (not happened before). After an hour of looking for him, my ex went back to the car to find two people he knew standing by the car because Oliver was lying under it having decided to not bother finding my ex after his little freestyle run. He quite rightly figured out eventually his silly owner would return. Apparently my ex gave him a thorough telling off.., while my darling little spaniel just gave him a rather patronising 'what are you going on about, I was here all the time, where were you?' look. To make it worse, of course the two people had hung around the car for quite a while not sure if the dog was lost, hurt or would run in the nearby road. I'm sure Oliver just thought it was more of the attention he deserved!
Another one that always makes me laugh but it wasn't the dog being naughty was when me and my then partner stayed up til ridiculous o'clock painting a bedroom. We fell into the bed eventually, deciding to finish the room the next morning. We had a lurcher, she joined us at the foot of the bed. We stupidly left the roller in a still filled paint tray in a plastic bag.
I had a then three and a half year old boy.
Clearly he woke before us. Had time to paint some of the carpet, the duvet (except for the bit with the dog lying over it, he just went over the dog who must have thought she was having a massage), and a chest of drawers. Everything, including half the dog, was peach when we woke up. I tried to tell my son off but couldn't, every time I tried I either looked at the half peach dog or imagined the look of delight on my son's face and cracked up.0 - 
            My male cat broke into my neighbour's house and ate their hamster.
I found the back end of a large fat ginger rodent-like creature on our doorstep and the shape and tail were distinctly hamster. A few days later I overheard one of their children saying their hamster had disappeared because they forgot to shut the cage door.
However, it used to be his old home and they didn't take care of him, especially their little boy who was pretty mean to him, so I consider that revenge served.
It took us months to get this cat just to let us stroke his head he was so aggressive and frightened of people.0
