And they took the time to take a photo????

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago

It was worth it!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago

I mean, the damage was done already and it's a great picture. I also think a few more seconds hadn't such a big impact. It's also possible that one person went out to turn off the water and the other one took the photo.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

I would have. It's a great picture with a funny story, for the low price of having to mop a bit more water

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

Of course they did. We have a similar agreed upon rule in our house regarding kids, whenever they do something bonkers: "First, the photos, then the kids".

Maybe its a security cam

Honest reply: I wouldn't even be mad. That's too hilarious / clever.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I'd be mad though, I'd wonder where my dog stole the hose from, and how he managed to install a doggy door...

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Eh, I'd still be impressed and curious if they could also install anything else around the house.

I left my dog shut in the lounge when he was a puppy, when i came back inside half an hour later he had scratched/chewed a hole in the drywall in an attempt to follow me out. Adorable little shit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Well shit if the sweet dood actually managed all that I’d be legit impressed.

Like Baxter eating ALL the cheeses.

i still would prefer this to what my disgusting little runt did on new years eve...on a walk in the woods in the late afternoon...he found himself a roe deer cadaver...really rotten and gooey...which he rolled himself in and made sure to cover the whole body with the mess...and he was so proud

Oogh, hope you called home and told them to lock the dog door before you came back

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

i am not sure the smell ever will come out...but 2 hours washing...that day...and he is a fairly large dog weighing in at 45 kg and is not that happy around the bathtub...imagine the struggle...

We once had a German Shepherd mix. She loved disgusting smells. The more repulsing, the better. She was a fox shit radar and we were too slow most of the time..

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

...with long fur too make it easier to clean out...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Have you ever seen those pigs with curly hair? We were already wondering if one of them was her father.. the thick undercoat was horrible to wash and off course she didn't like getting baths 🙃

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago

nobody volunteers to clean the ceiling in my house

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

I remember this photo from years ago, it was one of my favourite photo on internet.

Thanks for bringing it back up, this time I’m saving it.

Accidental renaissance.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

He just wanted to including you in the fun.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

God this dog is like my spirit animal or something.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

It's all about maximizing fun in your safe space

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

One of life's highlights.

I'd say no. It has a ton of camera artifacts that ai doesn't do. Glare through the doggy door. A smudge where his tail wags, etc
