My 2 year old goldendoodle just yeeted herself off the porch for no reason and fucked up her leg. Of course the vet is booked until 11 AM tomorrow. This is the same dog that had to get bowel obstruction surgery twice in two months because she kept eating toys. She is not allowed to have toys anymore.

She’s such a goblin.

    My cat once slipped his head through a handle of a paper bag while sleeping on it. Then he jumped off the couch and absolute chaos ensued. He drag the bag behind him and it inflated like a parachute and making a lot of noise which totally freaked him out.

    He eventually managed to rip off the handle (glad it was a paper bag) while dragging it under some furniture, but he was quite traumatized after that. Didn’t come out of his favorite hiding spot for half a day.

      Same thing happened to our cat except when it happened to our cat, she freaked out and rang around the house.

      She ran through the railing which caused the paper bag to rip. The bag then ripped in the worst way, with 90% of the bag ripping off but the paper handle was still around her neck. She got really scared and ran under our bed. She hid there for hours. Eventually she came out. I was able to grab on to the handle and she tried to run which caused the handle to rip off finally, freeing her.

      No injuries or anything and she was behaving normally an hour after the handle ripped off.

        It really was both. It took me quite a few seconds to even realize what going on, suddenly there was just noise and panic in the room. By the time I was trying to help he was already under the couch and almost free.

        But in hindsight it was really funny. I learned not to leave folded up bags lying on the couch though.

      I had a cat which almost the same thing happened to, except with a plastic bag. For most of the rest of her life when she heard plastic crinkling she would run and hide.

        One of our cats had the same thing happen. Both times with paper bags. He made a huge mess of our room the first time it happened. It’s years later and if he’s doing something he shouldn’t be, I crinkle a plastic bag softly and he runs away.
