anybody have any embarrassing pet experiences? you know, like having a dog that you've had for years and years and thought you knew, suddenly start humping your leg aggressively while others watch? and, by aggressively, i mean you try to push the dog off and it starts to growl, and for the first time ever, you're kind of intimidated? on one hand, you know you can't let the dog think it can start doing that, but on the other, you are scared that the dog might do something, knowing how weird hormones can make creatures (hormones are truly wonderful, yet scary things).
i had a dog do that as i was stepping up onto a tractor. grabbed my leg as i was pulling it onto the step that my other leg was already on. weird..... just weird....
also, i've got a stepson that just turned 18 years old. his friends used to (stepson has a girlfriend now) come over all the time, and would spend the night quite frequently.
one of his friends was hanging around, waiting for his mom to come get him, and we noticed his pants had a weird stain on them. it was a reddish stain with black spots on it. we quickly figured out it was from the couch he had slept on the night before.
side note: this couch is literally as old as i am; 36. the house we are in was my grandparent's house, which was built the year i was born. my grandma was a neat freak, always cleaning, and NEVER, EVER let anybody past the kitchen or dining room (living room was off to the side), except on rare exception. this couch, while 36 years old, is literally like brand new. however, the pattern is quite strange. it may have been vogue in 1973, but is different. it's a crimson red (same as the velvet drapes she had in the room) with a black pattern on it.
so, anyway.... we figured out the stain on his khaki dockers was from this couch. couldn't figure out if the dude whizzed his drawers, or what, but it was kind of damp.
well, after he left, we realized what had happened. the cat had started whizzing on the couch, in about the exact same spot as where his butt was. we still haven't told the kid what it was. feel kind of bad, but now we're just trying to figure out wth the cat won't stop whizzing on the couch. well, we know why, but can't figure out how to get him to stop, aside from keeping a sheet of poly over the couch 24/7 (real attractive).
FYI: the cat is normally very good about his litter box. the reason he started this was because our sump pump in the basement burnt up during a downpour and flooded the entire basement by about 5-6 inches (10-12.5 cm for metric heads
). during the hustle to get the sump pump replaced and basement cleaned, we forgot about poor Joe's litter box, until we saw some catsnacks on the couch (you know, the treats dogs can't seem to pass up). He was whizzing in the bathtub. ever since the basement has been cleaned, he still has a fondness for whizzing where he dropped his catsnacks. :roll:
