What are the funniest things someone has ever said to you about your dogs?

People would always stop and ask what happened to Chewies leg (front leg amputated at 18 months). I got tired of telling people the same story so I started to make stuff up.  I told one lady I had taken him into the vet to have his nails trimmed and the vet had an accident and cut his leg off by mistake.[]  (ok, yes I do have a warped sense of humour)  She said she had heard that vets do that quite often.  [8|]

 What gets me the most is when other people actually argue about it and maintain that there IS such thing, because "they HAVE a teacup at home" or else they "know someone who knows someone who knows someone that has one."

 
My former boss used an old time Yankee expression for cases like these:
 
"If your cat has kittens in your oven, you can call them biscuits if you want to....but you still can't eat 'em." (Okay.[] It makes more sense if you hear it with an accent and you've seen a really old oven.)
 
Or in more modern terms: I can call it the "BK Lounge" but its still really just Burger King open until 1 am.[]
 
 

i was watching frasier with my friend the other day and all of a sudden she goes:
"OMG! neiles looks exactly like jason!" i almost fell off my chair laughing!! he really does!
 
then there's people who ask me, if moca and jason are siblings... huh?
or if jason is the mom and moca is the puppy or the other way around (and that was before the neuter. he had HUGE balls!!) lol.. i sometimes tell them "no, they're not related. they're married!"
 
(and yes, i was gonna take an idog vacation so i'm off again! [])

?!?!!?!?! That one really had me snorting. Poor woman must have some really rotten vets in her area! [sm=biggrin.gif]

When I brought Polly home (pug/shih-tzu mix) my neighbor took one look at her and said, "Could you have gotten an uglier dog?"  I took no offense to this...granted, she's no beauty, but she's scrappy and she's mine.[]




BTW, she's going to the groomer today for a new doo, hopefully that will help some[]

Aww poor baby, I think she's very cute. Tell people she's related to Benji []

I think Polly is very cute! How's the neighbor for looks?

Cita, it's cool if you ask what breed of dog that is, no one's expecting everyone to know right off the bat.  I love it when people ask about his breed!
 
 
 
Besides all the people that have said "your dog is too skinny!"  I think the funniest thing I ever heard with relation to Xerxes was how at 8 months he was definitely a pit bull.
 
Close second was the people that referred to me as "the guy with the pointy nose dog."  I thought that was classic!
 
And of course since PHs are a very aloof breed and aren't super friendly with either other dogs or people they don't know...I get the "you're dog is stuck up" comment quite a bit.  Actually he's not stuck up, he just isn't interested in you because you a)don't have any food and b) you don't have a fuzzy tail and aren't trying to climb a tree or run down a tunnel.

I'd say he's a dog....but that would be insulting to Polly[]! 

Ok...here's Polly before her cut



And here she is after....





She says she feels nekkid.....

Polly, you will be MUCH cooler when you're nakey!!! BTW, you are cute, cute, cute and don't let anyone tell you any differently![]

LOL, I like that.  []

This has been a fun thread.
 
One of the guys that says that all three of my dogs are wolf hybrids says one of his dogs is almost pure wolf. I think it is a Great Pyrnees (sp?) and Golden Retriever mix. It has a Golden's face and floppy ears.

My dog Sarah is a powderpuff Chinese Crested and she gets called all kinds of things. She is in full coat, she has been called a poodle several times, even a Papillion ( don;t shave her ears) but the silliest was when a women came up to me in Petsmart and ask me why in the world would I shave my Maltese's face!

Funny in a twisted sort of way - from this morning:

Guy: What're their names? (points at Maggie and Maxx)
Me: Maggie and Maxx
G: Are they both boys? (Maggie is a girl, Maxx is neutered - not a testicle to be seen)
M: No, Maggie's a girl and Maxx is a boy.
G: So they're a pair. (I was sorely tempted to explain the s/n concept to him)
G: You live around here?
M: I live here (the apt. complex we were standing in the middle of).
G: Do you keep them in cages?
M: Huh? They live in the house with me.
G: So they aren't caged?
M: Maggie isn't, Maxx has a shoulder injury and is crated a lot.
G: How old are you?
M: 22.
G: Huh. I'm 24.
G: Can i have your number?

And it continued from there to the point at which I finally just said "It's not just you, I don't give my number to people I don't know" and promptly got the dogs moving. We walked by my building and over to the woods - he was still watching us and I didn't want him to know where we live. I was pretty darn glad that I have two dogs - the guy did stay a nice distance away.
