Twitter Moment, But I Don't Tweet.

We have a 2yr old Beagle who, almost without fail, eats a poo when he's out for his evening walk and off his lead.

He's growing out of it slowly and no, we don't just 'let' him do it but we've found that if we ignore his behaviour it's more effective than telling him off...

When we used to tell him off for doing it, he used to purposely go and find another poo to eat, just to get attention :roll:


He's also been known to sneak up on people who are sat on the grass having a picnic, and steal a sarny or two. Very embarrassing .. Luckily, people have always seen the funny side of it and more often than not end up giving him more food which doesn't help to be honest!

one of our jack russells will drink the wife's red wine if she is not carefull.


the other is far more interested in his ball than food. having said that last year the wife took them for a walk/ball throw at Hubbard's Hills in louth - a beautiful place where the locals go and chill like you would expect beach side locals to chill at the beach. Anyway, this particular sunny summer's afternoon she was throwing the ball for dug, he set off after it only to divert, run straight towards a group of blokes drinking and making food on a disposible barbeque. they gave him a bit of fuss then he grabbed a steak and legged it! thankfully they saw the funny side.

My youngest cat has an appetite for bills of 20 euros. Leave any other bill on the table and she'll Leave it alone.

My feet, the sweatier the better, must be the salt content.

Years ago, now - actually a couple of decades ago, in a house I used to live in, I had a cat - plenty of character, could be a bit naughty on occasion. Anyways, it was a terraced house, in a short row, gardens at the front, but small-ish yards at the back, with high walls.

At the time, didn't have much to do with this particular neighbour - and it must have been a Sunday, and they were cooking a chicken. Then they must have decided to put it on a window ledge to let it cool!?

Next thing I know, my cat - very happy with herself, in the middle of my back yard bearing down on this cooked chicken. Fortunately, the garden walls were pretty damn high - you'd have probably needed a ladder to properly see into the yard - either that, or peer down from an upstairs window.

Some minutes later, I heard shrieks and a lot of puzzlement from next door about their missing chicken.

I probably left them all to it, at that point, and went out on my bike.

Oddly, the car didn't seem that bothered about the crunchies I put out later that day...

Teach him to eat his own poo, then you are onto something.
