Was just awoken this morning at 3:15am by the two Irish red setters that belong to the guy I lodge with, barking and growling. Annoying in itself really but he was sound asleep so I went down stairs to see what was up.

Can't get in the kitchen door because they are immediately the other side of it, fighting over a bottle of suncream. They've busted down the gate that usually keeps them confined to the back entrance way. Most of the washing pile that in front of the washing machine has been chewed. And one of them apparently has the Brad Pitts and has spread it liberally across the floor. If only the floor wasn't unfinished ply wood where its waiting to be tiled...

I don't know if you've ever smelled the bouquet of dog's doo-doo when they have a poorly tummy, but it makes the regular stuff seem joyously aromatic. As much as I would like to help, at this hour of the morning the only involvement I can muster is to knock on his door and simply tell him to have a quick peek in the kitchen. The smell has proven to be harder to contain than the dogs themselves.
If only it was legal, you make a couple of decent rugs out of them...

Not all dogs are idiots, setters do tend to be pretty but stupid though, insert one liner here.

a friend of a friend had a similar issue, a load of them went out and crashed at his house and fed his germ short haired pointer a kebab pizza and a couple of hours later the poor dog was whining to get out to do its business, everyone was out for the count so the dog went to his room (2nd bedroom) where 2 of his mates were staying.

After trying to get comfortable on the bed the poor dogs sphincter could no longer hold in the increasing pressure and he literally unleashed hell on the room covering everything in a deep layer of st including the 2 friends, their faces, all their clothes, the walls, the window, everything, they remained fast asleep in the mess and his dog was now happy again as the stomach was feeling better, so off he trots to wake up his master to demand breakfast.

Whilst waking up his boss for breakfast there is a blood curdling scream from one, then 2 of his mates along with what sounds like vomit (he had pooed on their faces) and this woke up the entire house, cue 10 of the 15 blokes with weak stomachs bolting for the door to get fresh air.

Took them 2 hours to clean and a week to remove the smell.

morale of story.... when drunk and no matter how much the dog does puppy dog eyes at you, kebab pizza is a bad idea.

Erm... nice. That's a nice thing to wake up to.

Anyway, that's not about why people shouldn't keep dogs, that's a story about why idiots shouldn't keep dogs confined in a kitchen with suncream.

Shouldn't confine dogs full stop IMHO. And in the kitchen is stupid there must be all sorts of chemicals in there they might get at, and chew through etc.....

Theyre not - thats the thing. At night they stay inside in a nice area for them to sleep in seperated from the kitchen by a gate. But theyre only 18mths old. The gate has been fine up till now but last night they decided to bust out. Time for a bigger gate.

Unsurprisingly, the lack of an opposable thumb precludes them from reaching any chemicals which are in cupboards. But then, who would have thought they would be opening the gate...

If the dogs are so badly behaved that you have to confine them to a part of the house.. then the dogs aren't the problem!

Don't be silly, they're Irish red setters, Ralph and Bernard aren't Irish names, they'll be called Seamus and Padraig or something like that.

Was even funnier when it was found in their wallets and they had to take every single note out scrub it clean and then dry it on the bath tub (for some reason they werent allowed to use the iron)....

and for the rest of the day, if xaus (poor abused dog) went near them they flinched and damn nearly jumped off the sofa scared that he was coming in for the 2nd round.
