Dog Shaming

So, just about a hundred people have sent me a link to the hysterical site called Dog Shaming.  And every email said, ‘Maggie needs to be on this site.’  Oh, she does.  But truthfully, so does James – he just flies under the radar of general ridiculousness while M soars above it. 

 

So if Maggie and James were on Dog Shaming, here is what they would say:

What would your pup say if being publicly shamed?

I love the looks on their faces. :-)

Henderson would say “I’m too lazy to work for my food anymore, so I puke on the carpet because I get so hungry.” (He eats out of a Kong Wobbler toy and has for 2 years, because it’s the only way he doesn’t inhale 2 cups of food in 20 seconds)

Danielle -

Have you ever seen any of the Nina Ottoson toys? I highly recommend the “Dog spinny” or the “Tornado” toy.

Toffee (the chihueagle) would say: “I like to grab used tampons out of the garbage”
and..

Riley (JRT) would say: “…and I like to swallow them whole & vomit them 3 days later”

(okay this only happened once but it was the longest three days ever. If I didn’t see Riley swallow the whole thing I would never have known. He was still eating/drinking/pooping fine)

or…

Toffee would say: “I like to lick the anal gland fluid leak from my butt and then kiss my parents”

My dog’s would say:
“I can’t figure out how to get the ball when you throw it on the couch.”
…or
“I’m big on the internet.”

Claire @ Live and Love to Eat August 28, 2012 at 9:35 am

My JRT would say “I know I can get away with anything since I’m so cute.” Nothing vulgar. :)

Hahahhahha! I have never heard of that site before but I have now found my entertainment for the day, thanks to you, Caitlin! :)

Buffy the Labradoodle would say “When I get excited, a poop nugget falls out sometimes!” or “I like to poop on the hallway rug after going outside!”

Jasper the Standard Poodle would say “I like to eat socks. They sit in my stomach for a few weeks and then I puke them out.” or “I once ate half a bag of marshmallows. Arf.”

woodford : “I counter surfed and ate half a block of uncooked tofu”

Lauren August 28, 2012 at 9:44 am

My aussie would say “I poop next to the sand box just to mess with the toddler” and my shepherd would say ” I couldn’t help myself, carpet just tastes awesome.”

Jen August 28, 2012 at 9:49 am

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like this is kind of demeaning to animals. Would you do this to a child or someone who wasn’t able to speak for themselves? What would our animals say about us? I know it seems like fun and games, but I think we should show respect to all creatures, and publicly humiliating them (whether they’re aware or not) does not seem right.

Shelly August 28, 2012 at 10:09 am

I don’t think my dogs would care if I tell the world they eat gross stuff since they (clearly) don’t have the same internalized taboos as humans do. :)

It’s like the LolCat that says “What? I’s cat! I’d do it again!” (Totally applies to dogs too!) :)

Krista August 28, 2012 at 10:20 am

OMG this made me laugh so hard! Please tell me you aren’t serious Jen!

Laura August 28, 2012 at 10:43 am

Gotta have a sense of humour Jen. Dogs are goofy and easily lovable creatures creatures. My dogs make me laugh every day!

Jen August 28, 2012 at 11:19 am

No, I wasn’t joking and apparently I’m not the only one who feels this way. http://www.prweb.com/releases/dog-shaming/08/prweb9842378.htm

Alexis August 28, 2012 at 6:11 pm

Only a serious pet lover would take the time to do this. The bad owners have their dogs locked outside and don’t consider these things endearing!

Shelly August 28, 2012 at 11:46 am

The more I think about it, the more I think it’s also kind of nice to know that I’m not alone in owning and loving dogs who sometimes misbehave in really hilariously disgusting ways. I think it’s more about owners bonding over these incidents than any ill-will directed at the dogs.

Reply

Caitlin August 28, 2012 at 12:12 pm

Seriously?? To me the site is full of people who love their pets, no matter how gross or silly they can be! I think it’s cute and think people need to relax a bit.

Sarah August 28, 2012 at 4:23 pm

I agree with Jen here to an extent.

Caitlin’s examples here are cute and funny because we know the back story but some of the bad behavior on Dog Shaming can be attributed to ignorant/lazy/careless owners. To be fair, a lot of what’s posted is just dogs eating gross stuff, which is perfectly natural and totally funny.

L. August 28, 2012 at 8:07 pm

Even though Jen dissed me the other day for a comment I made, I have to say I agree with her. :) I don’t think this is funny. Especially the comment Maggie “allegedly” made about Henry. If you wrote this for Maggie, then obviously you think she is possibly thinking this about Henry. And if that is true, the outcome could be devastating. For both Henry and Maggie.

Dog #1, Toby: “If I don’t look you in the eye, maybe you won’t notice a loaf of bread is mising from the counter.”
Dog #2, Gordie: “I pee on everything everywhere because I am King of the World.”

Hilarious! And suddenly I’m feeling better about my own dog & her frequent misbehaviors… :)

Megan@ The Running Doc August 28, 2012 at 9:58 am

I love that website! Let’s see, Eloise would probably say “I try to sneak cat poop out of the litter box when no one is looking” or “I love when Mom forgets to put her shoes away because it gives me something to chew on at night”.

Reply

Erin August 28, 2012 at 10:06 am

Thank you SO much for the laugh.
I love your dogs.

Shelly August 28, 2012 at 10:07 am

Mine would say:

The cat loves the way my butt smells.

I feast on kitty litter and bathroom trash.

When the cat throws up in the night, I quickly eat it.

Shelly August 28, 2012 at 11:47 am

Another one:

I’ll wait until you’re having a conversation with your new neighbor to start pooping out a piece of floss.

Reply

Caitlin August 28, 2012 at 12:10 pm

Oh gosh that last one bahahahah

And what is with dogs eating cat poop?? I don’t have a dog, but have several friends with dogs and cats and they all complain about it. So gross!!

Haha. I love reading that site, and already showed DH the pic of Maggie in the bouncy! Spook (IG) would say “I play with my winky while my parents are eating dinner — gotta keep myself entertained!”.

Reply

Laura August 28, 2012 at 10:45 am

LOL, love Maggie & James’! I have no idea what my dog’s would say.

Has Maggie tried the bouncy seat while it’s on and bouncing?

Sammy Joe the lab says, “I like to eat my food (LOUDLY!) at 2am and then proceed to lick myself clean beside my mommy and daddy! My mommy gets mad.” He also says, “Rules are for punks!” lol

Stellina @ My Yogurt Addiction August 28, 2012 at 11:08 am

Ahahah this is so funny! I wouldn’t be able to get my dog to sit still next to a piece of paper without ripping it apart for more than 1 second! Mine would say ” I pee on everything I can get my little weener on, because I rule ALL”

LOL

The only thing I’d change is in the parenthesis on the last one, since James is saying it, it should say “(yumm!)”, which is SO ew!

I love this! That website had my crying (from laughter, of course) the first time I saw it. And I’ve told everyone I know who owns a dog that they need to see it. But seriously, that photo of Maggie in Henry’s bouncy chair is just awesome–look at her own it! This just made my rainy day about ten times better. Thanks for sharing!

Charlie the Pomeranian would say “I can’t help but eat the poopsicles in the wintertime…they just taste so good” and Casey the Pomeranian would say “I will whine relentlessly at you when you are eating people food but I’ll turn my nose up at my own food”. He’s 16 so he pretty much gets whatever he wants now hah :)

Ellen @ Wannabe Health Nut August 28, 2012 at 1:52 pm

Lol, “bounce THIS!” Love it. My childhood dog Trippy would have said, “Everyone thinks I’m dumb because I failed Obedient School twice. I just like being on vacation!” It’s true, poor Trippy never did pass Obedient School, but I was always convinced it was because he had such a good time running around on the farm and playing with the other dogs while he was there.

Reply

Sarah August 28, 2012 at 2:01 pm

My family dog’s sign would probably say, “I’m convinced I’m actually my owner’s husband, and that other guy is just my professional walker.”

We only have domestic rats, so I guess it’s time for some rat shaming:
Ewan: “I chewed my mom’s leather Coach bag and stole her Godiva chocolates.”

My big dog would say that “I secretly get on their bed when they aren’t home and torture the puppy who can’t get out of her carrier.”

The puppy would say, “I eat poop, rocks and sticks when I am outside, I graze like a cattle and my parents hate it because I eventually puke it all up!”

LOL!!!!

Hahahaha, your dogs look like actors! So serious and fitting! That`s awesome!
My dog would probably think: why does everyone know my name? (he is called dog in Hungarian and we live in Hungary so of course everyone says: aww, look at that DOG!), I`m sure sofas are safe during thunderstorms. Safer than the carpet for sure. And maybe something like: I killed that bunny a few years ago while it was sprinting through the yard (the poor thing was old and probably died before he even got close).

Alex @ Healthy Life Happy Wife August 28, 2012 at 6:45 pm

I love this post! So hilarious! My dog’s public shaming would probably be that she sneaks downstairs to eat the cat poop out of the kitty litter! Totally disgusting – she needs a public shaming!!

My yellow lab would say ” OMG, you left the house for an entire nanosecond and I CAN”T TAKE IT, so I am going into the sink to pull out all of the dishes and leave at the front door so you can’t get out ever again” hahah :) love him! Also not he can pull out huge serving platters and salad bowls, drag across the house with ceramic floors and never break a thing.

Megan August 28, 2012 at 7:12 pm

OH HAHAHAHAHAA This post is hilarious. I think we all pick on our dogs because we love them.

My Reagan (mini dachshund) would say: “Oops! I just fished!” Lately she’s been what my husband and I call “fishing” all over everything. Me. The carpet. The bed spread. Anal secretion is disgusting. However, Reagan is still my baby despite her occasional fishing.

My Recon (mini dachshund) would say: “Please don’t raise your voice any where around me, especially while using the F word. I’ll have to check my crotch to see if i peed a little.”

Oh and “Please put the vacuum away!! I’ll have to run and hide in my bed if you bring it out!”
I don’t know what his issue is. He’s such a big baby. He hates confrontation AND the vacuum.

Stephanie C August 28, 2012 at 7:47 pm

Now that I have time to think about mine… “I take panty liners out of the trash and lay them out on the living room floor.” She also does the same thing one of the other dogs on that site does. “I go over/stick my nose in to other dog’s fences and wait for them to bark at me so I can bark back and not get in trouble.” And… “I love to stick my butt on your pillow when you’re not looking.” “I like to sit by your head and then fart in your face when you think I’m asleep.”
One more! “I love to roll around in coyote diarrhea and motor oil. All within the same week.” (fyi, i still can’t get the diarrhea smell out and it’s been about two months)
She’s a nightmare, but I love her nevertheless!

My corgi would say “I pee in front of the TV on the carpet everyday whether someone comes to walk me in the afternoon or not” and also “I eat mommy’s shoes, but only the black ones.”
