Strange things your pets do...

^^^ reminds me of Maggot Debridement Therapy (MDT), which involves the use of live maggots to clean wounds

Good reason to keep some pet maggots around if it wasnt for the lifecycle of a maggot :shocked:

John went to visit his 90 year old grandfather in a very secluded, rural area of Alabama.
After spending a great evening chatting the night away, in the morning, John's grandfather prepared a breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast.
However, John noticed a film like substance on his plate and questioned his grandfather asking, "Are these plates clean?"
His grandfather replied, "They're as clean as cold water can get them. Just you go ahead and finish your meal."
For lunch the old man made hamburgers.
Again, John was concerned about the plates, as his appeared to have tiny specks around the edge that looked like dried egg and asked, "Are you sure these plates are clean?"
Without looking up the old man said, "I told you before, those dishes are as clean as cold water can get them. Now don't you fret, I don't want to hear another word about it!"
Later that afternoon, as John was leaving, his grandfather's dog started to growl and wouldn't let him pass.
John yelled, "Grandfather, your dog won't let me get to my car."
Without taking his eyes off the football he was watching on TV, the old man shouted...
"COLDWATER, GO LAY DOWN!!!!"

My COLDWATER loves to chew on a juicy roadapple in the pasture and he picks up a few cat piles from time to time. I don't let him near my dishes. He would rather be outside any way.

Just dont forget to put it in the dishwasher before it goes in the kitchen cabinet! :laughing:

Hey, if you don't mind dog germs it could probably go back in the cabinet!

Actually that works really well for getting rid of gate crashers that keep showing up for a visit during dinner time.

After dinner, let the dog lick the plate clean. Then place the plate back in the cupboard. Repeat with the rest of the dishes.

Granted your dishwasher will be working over time after the person leaves. But usually works really well for someone constantly inviting themselves to dinner.

Mom did that once when a family friend kept doing that. The person would never eat at our house again.

Part that stunk, was this was in the early 80's so the dishwasher was my brother and I

Beagle Bailey gives me the stink-eye starting at 10:30pm to let me know it's my bedtime. Since the Time change, the stink-eye now begins at 9:30pm. Smart Dog!

Ruger likes to lay in the kitchen by the door, either to soak up heat from the woodstove or to make sure that I don't sneak out without him. When I start brushing my teeth he gets up and goes to bed.

We have a lot of animal photographs the wife has taken and had them turned in to large metal prints. The Beagle spends a lot of time staring intently at each of these prints. Coyote, Lynx, Porcupine, Fox and Wolves. His favorites are the Fox that he got to play with when he was a puppy.

Our old jack russle terrier was a Houdini when it came to getting out of the yard.

He kept digging under the fence, so I spent a weekend with a spade lowering the fence and burying it 6" in the ground. Mind you we all know how rough it is during a hot dry summer with clay for soil.

Monday night he was in the yard when I got home. Every night for the rest of the week, he was in the yard when I got home.

Well at this point I was feeling really good about getting the issue licked and keeping him in the yard.

My atta boys came to a crashing halt when my neighbors wife cornered me on Saturday while I was working in the yard.

She came up to me and asked while laughing "Do you know what that little a**hole is doing??".

I asked her if she could explain. Well come to find out Jack would climb over the fence to get out. He would then spend the day making his rounds, visiting the neighbors, getting his scratches, ect.......

At 3:30 (I got home shortly after 4) He would go get my neighbors wife. He would then escort her from their yard to ours, right up to the gate. She would then let him back into the yard. This way he would avoid getting in trouble when I got home
