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.
Cat wanted to go outside. It was raining. After seeing the rain out the back door and turning around she led me to the front door expecting better weather.
Cats don’t have object permanence. After looking out the back door she had to check the other outdoors at the front to see if it was different.
He threw himself off a bloody cliff following a cat. Luckily he survived intact but I’ve never heard such a loud splash ever since.
One morning we woke up to a complete stranger pounding on the door yelling “YOUR DOGS ON THE ROOF!!!”
She had climbed out the attic window, and fell to the roof over the first floor. I don’t know how long she was pacing the roof trying to find a way back in.
Sit at the base of the wall reaching out a paw for a fly on the ceiling 10 feet up.
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.
That’s really funny but also sad because he was so scared
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.
My cat routinely jumps from a table onto my hot tub lid.
One day he did it while the tub was open and we were in it. Realized his mistake way too late and tried to stop on the edge, but went face first into the water
Cat had a habit of licking plastic grocery bags. Didn’t care two bits for catnip, but would go gaga for plastic bags. Well, one day the goober got so into it that she got her head into a bag handle, noticed that something was off, and panicked. So you have this cat sprinting all over the house, running away from the bag that’s billowing and making scary noises just behind her… In the end she started running up the stairs, got the rest of the bag stuck under her paws, and just stood there in self-pity because she’s pinned herself down.
I’ve been told it’s because some plastic bags are produced with fish oil or tallow added. They can smell it.
We watched our cat, on multiple occasions, take a piece of dry food out of his dish and play with it on the floor - batting it around and chasing it - for 10+ minutes, then eat it, then spend the next 10+ minutes looking for it. He was not the brightest.
I was loading groceries into my freezer and had the door propped open with a small fridge magnet, and my old cat, being the ever curious orange dingus she was, climbed onto the top of the fridge where the freezer was, and started sniffing around. I walked away and around the corner back to my front door to grab the rest of the groceries and when I returned, she had closed herself into the freezer and was yowling. It took less than ten seconds for her goofy ass to get stuck inside the ice box.
Typical orange cat things lmao
At least she had the good sense to call for help.
Wow, OP, your dog is dumb.
My childhood dog did something kinda similar. My family was going out to a new spot we hadn’t been to, but it was a long drive on a windy road and I get really carsick. So we pulled over at this nice little view spot. We all got out and so did the dog. And for no reason, she ran full force at this waist height stone wall, jumped over it, and yeeted herself off this fucking thing
Mind you, we had no idea what was on the other side, and sturdy walls like that are usually built to keep people safe. So we freaked out, thinking she’s going to be dead at the bottom of a cliff and ran over there. Thankfully it was just a very steep hill, so she wasn’t dead and I don’t think she was even very hurt. But good lord, dog, why do that??
My dog is indeed so fucking stupid. And, like, she’s not even bored. She plays or naps all day and has plenty of outside time and digestible things to chomp on. She’s the most chaotic neutral creature I’ve ever seen. She does whatever and doesn’t care about consequences. The intrusive thoughts always win. I’m gonna get her a collar that has “Goblin Girl” on it because that’s exactly what she is.
My dog gets so lost in sniffing things that he walks into objects constantly. He’s walked directly into stop signs, a gas meter, people, and even walls.
Had a cat catch themselves on fire from getting too close to a candle, then proceed to sit there while on fire and do nothing. I bolted across the room, and only then did they get scared and jumped so fast that it put out the fire.
Luckily, it was just some singed tail hair and nothing serious.
When I had my first dog, I drove a Kia Soul and would put the back row of seats down when I took him places. Depending on the circumstances, I might let him in from the rear hatchback or one of the rear side doors. One day I called him out to the car and was standing beside the open rear passenger side door. He came tearing down the path at full speed, rounded the car and leapt-- into the closed back door. He yiped, looked at me like he was offended, then hopped in the open door.
OP, I feel you pain. My current dog ate a toy, too. Only it wasn’t his toy, and I don’t have any kids…
$4300 emergency vet visit later, my girlfriend and I are much better about cleaning up after playtime.
My dog is pretty smart, but sometimes he’s smart in pretty stupid ways.
One thing he does is, if he needs help he will sit in front of the thing he needs help with. That’s it, just sit there. Now, he’s a black dog and he will sometimes do this in completely dark corners of the apartment. Maybe he played with his food ball and a treat has fallen under some furniture, he will just sit in front of it in the dark and expect us to help him, just sitting there for 20 minutes sometimes. Usually we only notice once he lets out a sad grumble after having sat there for a long time but I’m sure there’s other times where he just gave up and we didn’t notice at all. And this is not something we taught him, he just figured sitting quietly in a corner is the best way to get attention.
That and he likes to check if there’s anything going on behind him while on walks, which often causes him to walk head-first into obstacles…
My dog sort of does this when she has the runs. She needs to go out. She just sits and gives us that look. Not sure what it is, but by now we recognize it. if we see it! She does the same if we are asleep! We are just lucky to wake up in time.
oh for going out ours will sit in front of the entry door and look in our direction, even if we’re two rooms away. we really need to pay attention to notice if he suddenly disappears and then check the entry.
It’s really interesting how you start to be able to distinguish the different kinds of look they give you, like I couldn’t say how but I know if he needs help, needs to go out or if he wants to play depending on how he sits and looks.
My son’s dog has the same problem… He figured out how to escape the back yard, but couldn’t figure out how to get back into the back yard.
So he goes to the neighbors house, rings their doorbell, and gets them to let him back in his house.
Not mine but a friend. They had a house with like 4 dogs. The biggest was a Golden who would enthusiastically nom other dogs’ necks. Then one day they noticed the air tag on one of the other dog’s collars was missing. Weirdly though it showed still in the house. I guess you can use your phone to tell it to make a sound to help you locate it. The sound was coming from inside the (golden) tum-tum! I forget how they retrieved it. I don’t think they needed surgery. But supposedly the air tag still worked after cleaning it up.
I forget how they retrieved it.
You get an angry upvote for that. 🙄 🤣
I don’t think they needed surgery.
I’ll give you two guesses. The first guess (#1) doesn’t count. 😉

Ha. That was actually unintended, but I’m leaving it as is.

Out the “in” or out the “out”.
I actually think it was the latter as it was too far along for inducing vomiting. I might have to check with the friend.Friend checked with. It was indeed vomiting. This was a larger golden. I think over 90 lbs (40kgs).
