Whoever said dogs don't have vengence in their repertoire had never met my dachshund.
We got a new bed last weekend. After we finished we left a pile of old bedding that Pru, our sweet little Dachshund, took over because she really misses the old bed. Today I threw it all alway, and as I was bagging it up, she peed right where she knew I would step in it. When I said UGH! She looked up at me and gave me an evil smile. (Yes, I know she's a dog, but I swear to God she has these evil little facial expressions when she wants to.) Rotten animal.

3. I used to have a Boxer who would leave a steaming pile of feces right in front of the door
Where you'd be sure to step in it if he was left alone for what he considered too long. Which was usually not very long. :eyes:

Yes, dogs know how to make their feelings known.

5. That wasn't revenge--he was leaving his scent so you
would be able to smell it and find your way home.....

not kidding. Used to have a cat who did that--and a vet explained to me that by-the-door crapping is from lonliness...

4. Doxies are worse than cats when it comes to plotting revenge.
And like Klingons, they serve it up cold.

10. If A Boyfriend Comes Over, Doxie Pees On My Bed
Edited on Sun May-18-08 09:18 PM by Red State Rebel
It's happened to two different guys over the last year so I know it's not a coincidence. I finally got smart and take the steps away from the bed when my guy comes over. (Yes, I paid a carpenter to build a set of steps top my bed for my two wienies!) This the culprit....Mr. Sammy

6. I agree. Especially after the time
I checked something in my veterinary medical manual and realized I had to take one of the dogs to the vet. When we got home, he pulled the book off the shelf and chewed it up.

13. Like kids.
Sibling rivalry. The 2 that were worst are both gone now but I have great memories of bringing Dottie home as a 13 week old pup. When she outgrew her original crate, we put her in what had been Rosie's (who hadn't been crated in years and was totally trustworthy in the house). At the time Rosie would refuse to go out in the yard at the same time as the pup and when I'd bring Dot in I'd find all her bedding and toys gone out of the crate.

Rosie would pull them all out and actually hide them under her own bedding. Of course, this was also the dog who would pretend she was asleep and when you'd try to walk by her would stick out a paw to trip you. A real practical joker.

I miss them both.

7. My guys have communicated like that, too.
My pup urinated on my bed twice in 24 hours after I took him in for necessary inoculations. They have their own means of communicating... :shrug:

I call him my little "devil dog," given the ears...:loveya:

8. Dogs can totally be spiteful and vengeful when they want to be.
Both of mine try to get back at me (and each other) when I piss them off.

12. Our Great Dane got the idea that he wasn't supposed to go, anywhere, ever.
We'd walk him and walk him and walk him, no results, he'd come in the house wait as long as he could, tremble and let loose. One dark New Years Eve Mr. D. took him out into the back yard and showed him. He understood, dashed to the nearest tree, hiked his leg and that was that. Because they don't talk (although we had a Keeshond who tried mightily to talk) we don't give them credit for their intelligence.

In his memory:

Mastiff descended
he stalks the wild boar
on rain-tapped sidewalks.
Blending into night
he saultes the moon splinter
With primeval voice.
