Hey Pandas, Have Your Pets Ever Done Anything Really Stupid? (Closed)

I have a husky dog named Loki. He has a weird quirk that he will only poop if he's like on a small hill or something similar. Well, one day he found a really great one. Since he was on a hill, the poop started to roll down it and he happened to lose balance at that very moment. So he landed face first into his poop. Let's just say the clean up was not pretty.

My 6YO yellow Labrador Retriever, Oliver, couldn’t wait to get into my moms SUV. The lift gate wasn’t open and he ran full speed, face first into it. There was a dent the size of a basketball.
This is also the same poochie that gets hysterically scared of flies 🪰.

My dogs regularly run into the screen door. To be fair though, I’ve done it too.

My other dog with a broken ankle jumped out of her pen and pooped all over the living room. It’s smart of her to figure out how to escape, really, but also dumb because she has a broken ankle and though she’s in a cast, jumping about won’t help her heal.

When I was a baby, my dad had a dog that he had owned since he was a teen. The dog died when I was two or three so I don’t remember him all that much, but he was not the brightest so I have been told a bunch of funny stories.

He ate everything. He ate moondough, crayons, a chew-proof iron hose, pool noodles, bees, shoes, toys, and once even swallowed a rawhide knot (which we do NOT use anymore and I would strongly advise against feeding to any animals) and it was stuck in his stomach for a while until he threw it up. He also had a tumor on his foot that he chewed endlessly (We got it removed but he was so old that he wasn’t alive very long after that). He was a golden retriever and lived to be thirteen or fourteen, so he lived a pretty full life, and we loved him. But he was indeed quite stupid.

Funny story...it was just my little dog and a big lab at the dog park when it was raining. They played with each other but then the big dog charged at one of those small, 3-foot walls lining the ramps to get out of the dog park. He effortlessly made the jump. My little wet dog, on the other hand, was hot on the big dog’s heals but didn’t quite make the jump... Yeah. He *splatted* on the wall. We literally heart the sound of a wet dog hitting semi-dry concrete. He was fine, but there was a dog-shaped splotch of water hovering in the middle of the wall for a while...
😂

My dog is sitting on the couch. Lets out a little fart. Picks up his head. Sniffs. Proceeds to fall off of the couch.
TL;DR: my dog scared himself off it the couch with his own fart.

My cat jerry ran into my kitchen from the living room, ran back, then jumped at the doorframe and smacked his face. He's an idiot.

Farted in my face? I guess that’s on me though

I had a cat named Bert (and his brother Ernie). When getting ready for my job as a vet tech one morning he walked right in front of me a puked. Up came about ten hair elastic hair ties. Knowing the risk I took him to work with me. Plopping him on the examine table in front of my boss (the vet) I said “Should I tell them or do you want to?” Bert proceeds to puke an additional clump if elastic hair ties, then begin to purr and nuzzle the vet. An X-ray later out was clear he had over indulged. Lucky for him and I the cost for surgery for employee pets was significantly less than normal. He also paid his debt by donating blood to needy transfusion patients later in life.

In keeping with this I have assisted in surgeries to remove the following objects from a variety of patients: rocks, three thongs, several used tampons, a peach pit (dog was suffering cyanide poisoning as as a last resort we did an exploratory), twenty Barbie shoes, rocks, pine cones, legos, sewing needles and a few baby socks.

PSA to pet owners, if they are chewing it, they will swallow it!!

My dog bella sprints to the door full speed when my dad gets home. Its so cute

We also have 11 birds, and my fave dumb bird story is: ONE of our blue and gold macaws, Stretch was standing on our coffee table and dancing and showing off his beautiful blue and gold splendor, when he wasn't paying attention and backed up falling off the table. He lands awkwardly and jumps up looking around and says, "What happened?"
Laughing I said, "You're a clumsy dummy that's what happened." Then Wendy my other blue and gold and me started laughing.

I'd say this was more shocking and annoying than stupid, but then again I still have no idea what the motive behind this was. Anyway, one day I was folding laundry when my cat came in the room and crawled into the laundry basket and I said "awww buddy are you helping me fold laundry?"......he then proceeded to pee in the basket. That was fun to deal with.

Our huge 24 lb Maine C**n Hootie loved to stalk squirrels. We were sitting on the side porch and a squirrel came up to the outside bushes. Hoot lurked on the other side of the bush, and the little tree-rat decided to teach him a lesson.

It jumped through the branches, onto Hoot's head and started to chitter and rant. Por Hootie - he didn't know what hit him. Hoot flailed his head from side to side and the squirrel hung on for dear life. It finally jumped off and ran up a tree. The look on Hoot's face was priceless. "What? Happened?"

Poor Hoot never stalked another one of those little monsters again (no one was hurt, except for Hoot's pride)

PS: if I had my phone at the ready, that video would have won us $100,000.

I have a small cactus on my window seal and quite frequently my cat (rosie) likes to come and eat it, poke herself, but continues to do it.

Yes. My dog used to wake up, wake my mom up and get my mom to play with her.
Then 30 minutes later after my mom went to sleep she would do it to my dad. And after playing she would get fed. She did this for 3 months. I guess not stupid, but WAAYYY to clever for a dog.

My cat once wanted to jump on to the window ledge thing, but jumped full speed into the wall next to it. Everyone laughed and she walked off angrily.

One day, my golden doodle Farley ate six protein muffins off the counter. Oh right they were chocolate. Not a smart move there, doggo. Oh well. I love him, here’s my best pic of him.

We had adopted a large (think baby antelope) half-starved, stray dog that wandered up to our place. When a storm became imminent this outside dog, paced, then panicked, jumped the chain link fence, running like a vampire bat with an empty belly. We brought her into our small home when she started to pace, though she was not housebroken. One day I got called into work on my day off. I had to leave the skittish dog all alone. An unexpected storm arose with thunder, lightning, and small hail. Took my lunch break early to save what I knew was one very terrified pet. Found her running down the middle of a busy four-lane road: tongue lolling and eyes bugged out. Like to never got her to stop long enough to get into the car. Wish I could say that was the last time she ran like that.

One of my cats REALLY loves to cuddle. While I was reading on the couch, he hopped up on the couch for snuggles and proceeded to rub his entire body all over it, and fell off. He’s not very smart, but i love him anyways :)

My female sheltie has farted herself awake on more than one occasion
