I've just been reading on another thread how, despite our best intentions, sometimes our furry friends can let us down.

I want to know your most embarrassing moments.  Mine, by far, was when I live in Bournemouth with my St Bernard, who was very well behaved but also very food orientated.  I had him off the lead (as usual) in a local beauty spot on a lovely sunny evening when I suddenly noticed 2 people having a rather romantic picnic, the full works........champagne, real glasses, red roses!!  As I lunged for Brewster he took off at full gallop (12 stone of dog can shift some when it smells something nice!!), and to my absolute horror as I saw Brew's furry backside disappearing over the common, the gentleman got down on one knee with a little ring box!!!  Well, you've never seen 2 people move so fast in your life (or so much food be vacuumed up quite so quick!).  I was absolutely mortified, hastily apologised (and muttered something about not eating those left over sandwiches because they'll be covered in slobber..............why do you say such stupid things at times like this??!), and made a quick retreat.  I must admit to raising a smile when I think of it now, but I didn't show my face for a long while after!

If anyone knows that couple I do hope the wedding went rather more smoothly...............at least they'll never forget the proposal!

aww susie thats a brilliant story!

Dont we just love 'em LOL - very funny Susie, great last line too :-p

Bit busy right now but I'm sure the Terv Terrorists have had a few classics in the past which have ensured I beat a hasty retreat!  Will get back to this :-D

Great story!  Laughed so hard!

My guys have never done anything like that, but do come with embarassing moments.  Mostly at the shows though!

Cher, was in the group ring, got picked for the last 5 line up (she was in 4th spot).  The judge had the dogs go around the ring one more time, and as Cher went around, all of a sudden she stopped, and pooed right in the ring!   I was so embarassed (and I wasnt even the one handling her!) She didnt get a group placing.

Another time in the group ring, Cher was being a dip, so I was just going to have fun with this.  I knew I wasnt going to walk out with a placement, so I was just having fun with Cher, letting her be her instead of getting all worked up.  Well, on the diagonal up and back, as we were coming back I said to Cher "Show 'em what you got Cher!"  when we were about to stop infront of the judge.  What does Cher do?  She turns around, shows her rear to the judge, as if to say "See my butt???"  Her little stubby of a tail just a wagging!  The judge started laughing, but I was a bit embarassed when she did it, because I have never worked on something like that with Cher, it was total go with the flow!  But I can laugh about it now

Ooh we have a few..

The best i have posted on here before, my boy see's a body of water, i say 'no' he walks away, as i turn to head in the opposite direction i hear an almightly 'splash', yes he's ignored me and jumped in.

I couldn't get him out, the sides were too high to lift a 7stone dog fully sopping wet out of this, i wasn't sure what i was going to do and then panicked..

Passers by were trying to help, in the end someone called the firebrigade,.oh my that was i was embaressed. Buildres nearby have planks of wood to help get him out.. We managed it, haven't been charged, but yes it was a shocker, cried at one point as well.
Plonker i felt afterwards..

He stank of stangent water, could also see in the water lots of rubbish and goodness knows what else..
Huge bath and shower of the pair of us when we finally got home..

i let her off lead to run towards trees to poo as normnal but no. she ran to centre of cricket game and poo'd there! i had to run over and pick it up while they waited for me! one b****stard shouted- play on!

Great stories :) we have had loads!! i always remembered the embarrassment when our male Lab, decided to run on the football pitch in the middle of a match, and try and nick the football....to say i was embarrassed is a understatement!!! LOL.

Walking the dogs one evening and noticed that passerby where looking at the dogs and grinning.  My eldest was trotting along the path with a used condom in her mouth ......

LOL that is funny :o)

in the middle of an ann summers party, my dog dropped a tampon she'd stole from my handbag straight into my mother in laws lap!!
Needless to say the dog was DEF in the dog house that night!
Took me ages to look MIL in the eyes again!!

I think I've posted our most embarrassing on here before but when our first bernese was about 10 months old we had him off the lead up a local hill. It had been snowing and coming over the brow near the car park, he spotted a wee girl building a snowman and proceeded to bound across to her. As we were shouting him back, the wee girl turned, saw him and ran screaming at the top of her voice back to her dad as the dog proceeded to join in by chasing her and wuffing away bernese style (so fairly loud and scary). This was in the early 90's, so real dangerous dog hysteria around and by the time we caught him EVERYONE was looking at us, the wee girl was still screeching and screaming and I'd have been grateful if the ground had just opened up and swallowed me then! I forced OH to go over to the family to apologise, where upon the dad laughed and said 'it's OK, I knew he was friendly, it was my fault, I'd just told her there were BEARs up here' :-o . I'm sure that wee lass must have had nightmares for years :-)

When I was a child our E S S jumped into a field of corn my Dad thought she had seen a rabbit, and gone in after it,no not a rabbit but a courting couple in variouse states of undress.The same day just before this episode she jumped into a lake where a fishing cmpetition was in progress The air was blue.Never a dull moment on walks with our Bess.

I laughed so much at these esp the first one.

There is a day I will never forget- I was about 15 and the RSPCA home sold dogs to kids in those days.
I bought a pup and sneaked it home on a Friday afternoon (best bet as by Monday Mother always loved them)
As only my dad was in I took it under my jacket to meet my mum at the shopping centre. still hiding it under my jacket my sister realised I had something and demanded a cuddle so we sneaked it under her 3/4 length coat- 5 mins later a very strong smell arrived and glancing at my sister I could see diarrhoea running down her legs- At this point no one knew about the pup so it looked liked she had pooed herself.
My mother hissed at us to "go and clean up in Tesco's toilet "which we did. Anyway mother came to investigate, found us and pup and laughed so hard she had to run for a cubicle. She then laughed so hard her false teeth came flying under the door to the sink area where horrified shoopers looked on at the entire scene

We still can't talk about that day without laughing. The pup stayed for the next 16 years....

Just yesterday, as it was such a nice day the doors were open to the garden.  My older Boxer bitch lay sunning herself on the sofa in the lounge, my 4 month old pup Bob was wandering in and out as he pleased.  He had gathered himself an assortment of pebbles to push about (all big ones, bigger than tennis balls), and he'd got a selection of twigs which he had stolen off the shrubbs, so some with leaves, some without.  Unexpectedly (which means I hadn't tidied up) a friend called in for coffee, and whilst we sat chatting amongst the debris of pebbles and twigs, Bob comes in and proudly presents to my friend (he approaches you so you can hold out your hand) - a huge fat slug!!

He SO needs a pair of trousers with pockets!!!!  Love my lad!

> He SO needs a pair of trousers with pockets!!!!  Love my lad!

LOL... He sounds just like my Pointer !!!

Wasn't until the funny big fat slug story that I could think of anything more embarrassing than the usual embarrassing situations that dogs get us into.  When my dog was a pup we were invited to friends and she happily played in the garden.  Eventually she came in, straight to me and dropped what I thought was a leaf in my lap.  It wasn't until I picked it up by its stem that I realised the stem was a tail and I was holding a very flat dried up mouse.  I'm afraid I embarrassed myself by jumping up sqealing much to the hilarity of everyone else.

Fantastic one this one ! I can see the false teeth flying under the door.

Slugs again, Whistler was a pup and he had been a bit off colour when my OH found a big (4") lump on his side it was all sqishy so my OH gave it a squeeze and all this stuff came out. We were convinced it was an abcess so we rushed him to the vet I was in tears. He said he had never seen anything like it could he shave him I agreed and he shaved of a half squeezed slug!!!!!!!! He must have rolled in it and his soft puppy coat wrapped around it until we squeezed it. The vet laughed his head off and did not charge us!!!!
