Pissed off

[vilakins]

When we opened our front door this morning to go to work, there was a highly-bred dog (one of those very slender breeds) just outside. He promptly ran in -- and pissed on the floor! I don't normally say this but WTF?

What a nice start to the week.

Just shows that good breeding doesn't necessarily produce good manners.

I've found that very true of overbred humans too.

Your mood and situation seem at odds, you're pissed on.

No, just my floor. :-(

That is a peculiarly bad way to begin a day. Hope the critter found its way home without messing up anyone else's morning.

I've never heard of that happening before.

I dunno, maybe the stupid overbred thing got nervous when we went in to get it out. It had a collar and disc but I was already late for work or I'd have got the address and phone number from it and told the owners the law states their dog has to be under control outside their property.

Erm, maybe it had an argument with your cats?

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Not to my knowledge. I've never seen it before but I wouldn't put it past Vic.

eeeuw!

I had a similar situation once with a pair of cats; they double-teamed me for a couple of rounds, but I managed to evict them without any calling cards being left.

How odd--a team effort! Cats don't usually work together.

My Tessa however got into the neighbour's house a couple of years ago through an open kitchen window, set the alarm off, and panicked with the noise. This was on Christmas Day while they were out, so I climbed in the same window, turned the alarm off (we knew how as we'd fed previous neighbours' goldfish) and spent half an hour luring Tessa out. I confessed with a bottle of wine when they came home and they laughed, but I was so embarrassed, esp as they'd only moved in the week before. :-P Tessa was known as the cat-burglar for a while after that.

Aw, poor Tessa.

I don't know if my visitors were working together, per se. They both darted in when I opened the door (like you, on the way to work). I'd catch one, who would wriggle so violently I couldn't attempt to catch the other until I'd put the first one outside, then Cat 1 would take the opportunity to dash back in while I was evicting Cat 2. Rinse and repeat.

I finally convinced one to stay out by taking him downstairs (it was a first-floor flat), and he hadn't quite got the idea of coming back up the stairs before I had gone back up there, shut the door, and rounded up his off-sider. Game over, phew.

[boggles] That must have been so frustrating, not to mention bizarre.

[trixieleitz]

It was very strange. I thought at the time that they might have lived there before I moved in. I never saw them again, so perhaps they got the message.

Argh, attack of the randomly urinating dogs!

It was so weird. The thing was right in the porch and really desperate to get inside. Maybe it has an indoor loo at home, I dunno.
