Adaptions by dogs

[Clodagh]

Things your dogs have adapted in an effort to make life easier for you. I’ll start…
Gardening gloves with the fingers and thumbs removed for easy smart phone usage.
Watering can roses opened up so the water flows quicker.
Uggs with the lining removed so they are easier to get on and off.
Next stage entire heels removed for airiness.

None of these inventions have hit the jackpot yet but even Mr Dyson had to start somewhere, right?

Stirling has kindly removed the straps from the back of my Ariat mules . Made them so much easier to put on .
It must be a lab thing as He’s also put some additional holes in the watering can nozzle as well . Proper gardeners aren’t they

I also had a kneeling pad. Now I have a kneel.
And a trowel with a roughened handle for easier gripping.

I forgot he’s adapted a few buckets too , they now have holes in , so ideal for wetting hay . He doesn’t understand we have Haylage and we don’t need to soak it . But hey the thought was there !

Glasses chewed up, in a bid to encourage me to book in for my long overdue opticians appointment

I think his dog ate the bags

Loo roll all made into ready to use pieces.

For very small bottoms?

Nope, no adaptations here

The only trendy adaptation I have - clouds of hair for that rustic chiq look around the house, freshly replenished daily

More like a shaving cut. I have fond memories of dad with dabs of tissue on his face

I don’t have labs

 

[DabDab]

I don’t have labs

Yeah, I'm just winding up Clodagh

 

[Clodagh]

Other breeds are available. Unacceptable but out there .
But DabDab as well as being intrepid inventors mine can make entire mini mock Labradors in one days shed.

At least you have a decent quantity of dog to show for it though...my daily clouds of dog hair come from a singular 6kg terrier!

 

[Chuffy99]

Removing the laces from any trainer left on the floor so much easier to put on

 

[misst]

Shredding used tissues to make sure you don't reuse them. Digging in the flower beds to prepare holes for any planting you might want to do. Bed warming of course! My old terrier was also excellent at collecting hens eggs.

 

[Morwenna]

Mine has added extra ventilation to my socks so I don’t get sweaty feet and added a layer of hair to all my clothes for natural insulation to save me money on my heating bills. She also helps shred any cardboard so it fits more easily in the recycling bin.

Beagle puppy, collecting eggs. @misst

 

[Boulty]

The hooligan tries to make regular glasses alterations and has a keen interest in interior design (he moves his bed around the room, buries chews in the sofa, rearranges the throw cushions & blankets, gives his opinion on which outside plants should actually be houseplants), pauses the tv if he doesn’t like what’s on or sometimes turns it off altogether. He has also repeatedly expressed a desire to learn to write (he nicks off with pens all the time) & doesn’t shy away from doing his fair share of the housework (nicks off with cloths, dusters, sponges etc)

Zak chewed up and hid my phone under the shed to save me a bill. Then he chewed up lots of £20 notes intended for the builder, also to save us a bill that needed paying. Bless.

The whippet has thoughtfully ensured my beauty regime is improved by after dinner industrious polishing of my ankles/shins. I have small patches of super exfoliated beach ready legs. The rest is a disgrace but there you go

 

[misst]

I put on some "nice" underwear to go out to dinner the other day. The bra was fine. Unfortunately the knickers are now open crotch .

Maybe he thought it might come in useful!?

A house is not a home without dog hair.

Yes, but I prefer mine still attached to the dog!

 

[poiuytrewq]

I have these fabulous weight and clutter free pockets. They have no bottoms so I can no longer collect bits in them…. So handy!

 

[skinnydipper]

If a bit of dog hair bothers you then get a dog the same colour as the carpet (or change the carpets to match the colour of the dog) . Failing that, dark hair blends in better than white.

I'm sure current dog produces more hair than all the others put together and it doesn't blend in with anything.

Despite their best efforts at dog hair management, does anyone else find dog hair in their socks?

 

[Sparky Lily]

My young beagle has recently decided that our melamine coasters should not be on the low tables, where we thought they were so handy. Apparently they should be on the stairs, or in the garden, or in her bed. Luckily our really nice glass ones are difficult for her to pick up.

Your dog thought that you needed a bit of help with your special dinner...

I get dog hair EVERYWHERE. I even have two washing machines now, one for them and one for us but they still scatter hairs in it.
When I’m checking a recipe OH asks ‘black or yellow hair in this one’. When I make food for hunt or shoot functions I rely on people who hunt and shoot thinking the hair has fallen off their own clothes, and wasn’t there from scratch.
They also do advanced hair shed whereby Pen, black, moults on pale items and the others (yellow) go for the dark.
They are always going the extra mile, this lot.
