Expensive bar of chocolate!!!!

going back a few years my aunts dog ate a pack of razor blades from the shopping bags she had just bought in, needless to say that ended up expensive

Much as we love them, dogs do have some horrible habits don't they! I have to police mine in the garden or he jumps over the walls to get on the vegetable patch to eat the cat pooh :mad:

I'm trying to decide if it's worth the £20 to get a sonic cat repeller (do they really work?) or fence off the area......

He loves tissues also, so we can't leave them in bins.....although worse still is when he eats tissues he finds in the street :eek:

I adopted him from Guidedogs - he got rejected at advanced training so he nearly made it.....i just wonder how a blind person could have coped with him eating everything?

I can definately vouch for the sonic cat repellers.My father in laws garden which was otherwise pristine used to be littered with all sorts of things he had heard kept the cats out,orange peels,garlic cloves(that was a smelly summer),little clear bottles half filled with water(apparantly the light reflecting on the water scares them),scary gnomes with reflective eyes or motion activated sounds(including a farting gnome) to scare the cats.We bought him one of those cat repellers and he says it works,infact he says the cats sit just at the very edge of the range of the device looking into the garden.

I really had a giggle reading this thread, I remember my FIL`s dog (not a lab sorry!) learnt how to open a cupboard then the tin inside it and then the packet of whatever was hiding inside that. Needless to say things are now hiding in much higher cupboards, but its only a matter of time before the dog learns to levitate or use a step ladder lol. It is a genius dog.

kind regards

Thank you for that, i bought one yesterday so i'm hoping it works in my garden. It wasn't cheap at £29.99 but Homebase said i could return it if it didn't work! I've probably spent far more than that over the years on other products!

I'll be growing veg so hopefully it'll stop the cats digging up my seedlings....not to mention the horrible thought of growing/eating veg grown in the neighbouring cats' toilet! :eek:

My Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has a terrible habit of eating slugs - eewww!!

When you let her out in the garden last thing at night, you have to watch her or she comes in and spits an empty skin into her basket.:eek:

She also tries to eat the mushrooms that sometimes grow on the bit of tree that we once chopped down - these send her a bit bonkers so may be magic ones:rolleyes:

We used to have a labrador when I lived with my parents that could open the fridge door with his paw - we had to resort to putting the fridge under the stairs.

I'm a lindt chocolate fan but 85% cocoa is too much for me to handle, 70% is enough

You won't like my chocolate dessert, made from 100% cocoa “Venezuelan Black” chocolate from Willie Harcourt-Cooze, who was featured on the TV recently, then.

Lol, luckily mine can't do that yet, or we'd be out of food constantly!

My dogs have just rediscovered those tasty and crunchy little parcels of protein that appear in springtime - SNAILS!

Well - thank you very much!! So's yours (Think we may be a little biased in our opinions though).
