Most mischievous thing your pet ever did
Edited on Fri Jul-17-09 12:55 PM by brentspeak
Our West Highland White Terrier, who seemed to relish getting into trouble, once fished out a half-empty jar of grape jelly from the kitchen garbage can (I'm not sure what it was doing in there), stuck his snout into it, and proceeded to push the jar with his snout throughout the entire kitchen floor while licking all the jelly out like a bear with a honey jar. When he was finished, his entire head was slicked back with grape jelly, and the whole kitchen floor was as slippery as an ice rink.

1. Yay! One day, I noticed that an entire half of a carrot cake was missing from my kitchen counter.
I thought my roomates ate it...

A day or so later, I find the saran wrap in my dog's poop in the back yard. LOL! Apparently the little bastard got all the way up on the counter and stole my cake-he ate it, wrapper & all!!!

2. One day, I left a $20 bill on the coffee table in the living room for my wife
She had just given me a cute little terrier, Storm, as a gift.

I went to work, and she called me later to say that I'd forgotten to leave her some cash. I told her what I'd done, but there was no sign of the money.

Later, when I came home, I looked in Storm's water bowl. The corner of a $20 bill was floating in it.

3. While I was gone for the day, my two puppies knocked over
a vase of flowers and must have played chase all over the house with them. I found flowers on the floor in every room and a rose on top of my bed :-). The dogs are each six years old now and don't do anything nearly so mischievous as when they were puppies.

4. Sally bolts away from the house and runs up to the library park to play catch with the teens
The teens hang around the library p
We had on older dog that lover to sit in cars which was a lot better that when we first got him he would jump up on the roofs of vehicles, pick-up were the best.

One time he escaped out the front door and darted across the street to a waiting car that had the passenger door open to collect the neighbors kids for something. Pete ran over and jumped right into the backseat and sat there smiling. Mom driver was terrified until all the kids started laughing and explained who Pete was.

Once, at the county park where heavy duty leach laws were enforced, Pete slipped his leach and was being pursued by the ranger. Ranger got out of his truck and approached Pete who sidestepped the ranger and ran to the truck. He jumped into the cab and just sat there smiling. Ranger started laughing and let us go with just a stern warning.

5. Jasmine, my familiar, usually quite a mellow kitteh
decided she needed to go outside (even though she's an indoor kitteh) and took matters into her own paws. We hadn't been in our new house very long and were still trying to take care of a lot of destroyed bits that the previous residents (renters) bequeathed us. One of those was a broken window above a burned-out air conditioner in the living room. The nextdoor neighbor cat decided to antagonize Jasmine by sitting on the air conditioner and staring into the house. Jasmine retaliated. Windows were no object to her, the blockhead. All of a sudden I heard a deafening CRASH and ran into the living room to find Jasmine halfway out the shattered windowpane. I grabbed her butt, but couldn't pull her back in because of the shards of glass she was squeezing through. She got out, jumped down in to the yard (the neighbor cat took off of course), and then...just stood there in the rain, confused as to what to do next. So I scooped her up and tossed her back inside...where she promptly tried to do it again. :eyes:

9. Zero, my stray cat who lived to 24 years of age,
performed a very naughty act shortly after he wandered in. He decided that the perfect sleeping spot would be in one of the upper kitchen cabinets, which he could just reach from the counter. So, he went in and systematically pushed all of the glasses on his preferred shelf out the door and onto the floor. When I returned, I found a floor covered in broken glass and a cat neatly curled up where they had been.

I believe he may have used up one of his lives shortly thereafter.

11. Ate his way out of his cage
Edited on Fri Jul-17-09 03:10 PM by pokerfan
He was a cockatiel and the cage was bamboo. He removed several bars on the side facing the wall (where their absence wouldn't be immediately apparent) and then hid them beneath the papers in the bottom of the cage. I came home from work at an unexpected time one day and caught him flying back to his cage. I had no idea how long he had enjoyed free range of the apartment. I replaced the cage with a metal one and he sulked for weeks.

12. My Jack Russell
Piglet went on a feeding frenzy one day while unattended in the house. She figured out how to open the garbage can (one of those step dealies) pulled out everything in the can and snacked on whatever she found appealing, got into my purse that was sitting on the couch and dragged everything out of it onto the floor and ate a pack of gum, several vitamins, and some tic tacs, and then attacked my make-up basket that was on the table and ate two tubes of lipstick. I came home and almost had a heart attack. She proved though that you can put lipstick on a pig. Her entire face and front paws were covered in lipstick. :silly:

14. Let's see.... When Hank was a puppy he ate my ENTIRE couch.
Edited on Fri Jul-17-09 03:39 PM by Shell Beau
The WHOLE couch! There wasn't a cushion left. All you could see was foam, fabric, and the wooden frame, and part of the wooden frame had been eaten. Yeah, that one kinda pissed me off! But I got a new cute couch out of the deal and he finally outgrew that terrible stage.

15. our Pug mix ate two used breast pads
Luckily, they were completely full and couldn't expand any more, but it freaked my wife out. The next day he had the biggest BM he's ever done, about the same length as he is! You could see the breast pads in it.

16. My grandmother was cooking a turkey or chicken to send to my father
who was at school during WWII. She took the turkey out of the oven. She stepped out for a moment and when she got back her cat was on top of the turkey with all four paws wrapped around the beast as if he had just caught the sucker.

17. scratch a hole in the wall
when I was 5, my parents got me a kitten, but they had no idea how to take care of one. So while everyone was away during they day, they kept it locked up in the bathroom. :-( One day we came home to a 3 inch round hole in the bathroom wall :rofl:

18. My first dog swiped the fried chicken from the table...
...my parents had left it out while we left the house briefly, thinking she couldn't get up there.
But when we got back there was no trace of the chicken...no bones, no crumbs, nothing.

A few weeks later, when we were vacuuming under the sofa cushions, we found the stash of chicken bones. She'd buried them, just as if she were outside.

19. My mom once left out two pumpkin pies to cool for Thanksgiving.
When we were out, our normally well-behaved beagle (who *never* got on furniture) got onto the table, and took a single bite out of the center of each pie. Mom was pissed. I don't like pumpkin pie, so I just laughed picturing him taking the first bite, deciding he didn't like it, and moving on to see if the other one was better.

:rofl: (and I mean it, I usually hate smilies.)

20. Hysterical dog antics
were provided by my late godmother's much beloved wirehaired daschund. His first talent was the result of a failed escape attempt; when he dashed out the front door he crashed headlong into a parked car, doing something strange to his dentition. Ever after, when he was hungry he'd sit in the kitchen and whistle, kind of like a teakettle.

His favorite stunt, however, involved stalking the siamese cat with whom he shared my godmother. He'd go completely still, scrunched down as he waited for the cat to walk by. When she passed in front of her he'd scoop her up on his snout and go running across the room, the cat yowling the whole time; when he figured he was about to get clawed he'd throw his head back, flipping the cat in one direction while he ran off in the opposite direction. Cat would have her fur all ruffed out for a day or two and would prowl the house growling; the dog would hide during that time, emerging only when he knew the cat was elsewhere.

He'd pull this stunt about once a month. The rest of the time the two of them would often curl up together to nap on the couch.

23. another one is while I was cleaning the litter box......
I had emptied the litter into a plastic garbage bag and I was cleaning the box itself. Cat walked into the room and needed to go potty, he saw the open plastic garbage bag and jumped in and went potty in the garbage bag. All I could see was his head poking out...haha..

25. October 2007; Saturday, 11PM, putting together a new PC...
Zoe (the senegal parrot) opened her cage door, and waddles out into the living room to tell me it's night-night time.

I miss Zoe...

28. My cat was an expert bra/panty/sock thief
Almost everyday I'd find a clothing item of mine in the middle of the hallway when I got home from work and way, way more missing. We couldn't figure out where everything was going.

A year after he died :( we were moving to a new house and when we picked up the couch 9 bras, at least 20 pairs of panties and countless socks spilled out!

It was so bittersweet and funny I just sat down and cried laughing. Still miss that cat.

29. The night Syzygy died... ironic, but within the definition accorded...
The most loving, sweet, adorable conure... he had cuddled up inside a partly and loosely rolled bedsheet.

Cheap, 150 thread count walmart sheets. You could see through them; I still can't fathom how he could suffocate. But that's how he went.

Damn bird didn't even make a peep. x(

It was gut-wrenching when I found him... in his favorite position, lying on his back and looking comfy despite it all. :( :cry:

To this day I miss him. Even Zoe, who broke out of cage to tell me it was bedtime, wasn't as cuddly.

And now where Syzygy was, it's now a large flight cage for a few zebra finch.

Still have Scooter and Rusty, who have bonded but still share time with me to an extent...

30. Zelda was a Blue-Tick (German Short Haired Pointer). As a puppy...
she loved to pull laundry off the line. After beng scolded for dragging sheets across the lawn, she stopped - but not if laundry was left on the line overnight, somehow it was fair game when I was asleep.

Zelda liked to pick things up in her mouth and toss them around, like playing catch with herself. I looked outside one day to see her with something in her mouth, spinning madly around in circles and so happy it made me laugh. Until I looked closer and saw it was one of the kittens she was giving a mad joyride to! I ran hollering out the door, told her to stop, which she did, put down the kitten who stumbled dizzily away.

Zelda lived 13-years. She left us the week before Hurricane Katrina, apparently wandered off to die. We lived by the beach in Mississippi, and my granddaughter was so young then so her answer to "Where's Zelda?" was "...the shark got her!"

My fur-babies are family. Sniff...
