Well I went up my stairs and saw a bird on top of my bannister just random

One of my cats taught herself to pee in the toilet. For days I thought we had a water leak somewhere until I caught her in the act.

My beautiful,faithful dog from many years ago.The runt of the litter she was about to be put down at the vets till I got talking toa friend that worked there and so that night she came home with me,totally unprepared.A 7 weeks old,cross breed golden labrador.

She was quite a chewer.Nothing seemed to harm her insides.She once chewed up all the corners of the new kitchen flooring when we were out for just a short while. Another time she grabbed 2 newly bought and cooked,warm.chicken breasts for our tea.Bones and all.No ill effects there.

She loved a bath and one day we couldn't find her anywhere.Eventually we found her,sitting in the empty bath,ready and waiting.

But the funniest moment came years later when ,near Christmas and with the tree up and decorated my son was under strict instructions not to touch the 12 gold chocolate coins,I had them counted and was checking every day( I wasn't but he didn't know that !)

One morning a few days later,cheeky madam had decided she didn't want to wait till Christmas and pulled the tree right over ,getting the coins clean off the branches and eating them.What a mess.There were bits of tree,decorations,and gold foil everywhere.One lone coin remained but she had scoffed the rest.Son was most indignant that she had beaten him to it.Couldn't be mad at her,the look on her face just cracked us up.Chocolate bad for dogs? Not her,cast iron stomach I reckon.Runt of the litter and delicate.Absolutely no way.

Oh if only I could have her back for one more day,one more hour even.I wouldn't care what she chewed or ate.She was the most loving dog ever and my heart shattered when she died at 16.

Many years ago I had a bit of an addiction to extra strong mints. I used to buy a packet in the newsagents next to my workplace. I'd have a few during the day. And the next day I could never find them. I assumed I was losing my marbles and had actually eaten them all. Until a few days (and packets) later, I found my dog snuffling around the bottom of my handbag, fishing out the packet of mints and eating the lot, paper and all!

And then there was my lovely, but not very smart, cross-bred mutt that we (my border collie and I) found abandoned as a puppy. He was supposed to be going to the dog shelter on Monday and never quite made it! He was a total foodie. He always had his nose to the ground to find food, and would sweep up like a vacuum anything that might be edible (whether it was or not) before he could have it taken off him. One day he was off lead and running around looking for a likely food scent, and was so fixated on this he ran in to a tree trunk - it was at least four feet wide and he hadn't seen it!

And finally, my most embarrassing moment - my "fetch addicted" border collie was quite upset that I wouldn't play (arm aching from flinging his toy!). So he saw a likely thing to fetch. It was the cross bar of a full size goal post that had fallen down on the ground. So I had a dog intent on trying to fetch this cross bar so that I could throw it for him (yeah, likely), and I was pretending that I didn't know the dog!

Love the bit about the goal post.My mum had a rescued dog with collie in him,he would always manage to find the biggest stick,which was usually more like a thick branch and carry it proudly home,with us having to warn people to mind their legs.Trying to take it off him would result in him thinking it was a fun game and he would wack you even harder with it! Must be something in collies,with no sheep to herd he would make sure on a walk that we all stayed together by trying to round us up!

One of my cats has a very naughty streak. Throughout the summer he brings home whatever the neighbours leave on the BBQ (I'm assuming when it's cooled down) in the form of sausages, ribs etc. To be honest though I'm happier to find a half chewed Cumberland brought in through the catflap than a live mouse, bird or frog.

My youngest cat also seems to be following in his footsteps. She frequently steals the bird fat ball things in netting that my neighbour hangs out. One week last autumn she literally bought a new one home every day for a week.

Years ago, one of my cats stealing freshly cooked chicken from a neighbours BBQ whilst the neighbours had just popped inside to get more food.

When I first go the cats I have now, I had a magnetic cat flap so the cats had to wear collars. Suzy used to come home with all sorts of things attached to her magnet - usually cutlery which I guess was remnants from BBQs. Got me thinking at the time, that I could send her in to houses and get her to sniff around, and get jewellery and watches attached to her magnet and come home with them. Cat burglar!

Not long after I got the same cats, good old Suzy went in to the wrong house and curled up asleep on the bed - the home owners were not impressed as they hated cats and had a right go at me! They are rescues and it was not long after I had let them out to explore so she must have got confused. Pity she didn't get their jewellery at the same time lol

Oh that story reminds me... Up until a year ago we had both dogs and cats. But going back several years... I was reaching down to the bottom shelf of the larder unit to get out the pet food, and let out the biggest scream. And I am not a screamer.

What I had in my hand was a huge half eaten bird! Clearly one of us had left the door open, and the cat had decided to store away the meal on the appropriate shelf for later....!

We actually had a great one today.
We were on a walk and there was a black Labrador coming towards us with a really big stick (3' branch) in its mouth. The dog's 2 owners were walking behind it.


As it came nearer it dropped the stick and snuffled about -I guess for a better grip. The owners passed it.
The dog then picked up the and ran in between them towards us, hitting both of them squarely in the back of the knees, onto the muddy path.


We helped them up and were very sympathetic but we couldn't manage a straight face!

My very cheeky little ginger cat used to LOVE cake! One july I was icing my daughter's biryhday cake on the kitchen table. I had the window open & Ginger came tearing down the garden, jumped & landed half on the window sill & half on the table - stuck his heaf in the cake - grabbed a big mouthful and legged it again!! It all happenedvin seconds. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry!!
