Dear Dogs,
I came home from lunch to find that my dachshund, Igor, had shit in his bed.
â€Igor! Darling! Why did you shit in your bed?â€
Caught between me and the offending shit, he did whatever any creature with the wit of a stick would do; he ate the evidence.
Several theories came to mind; perhaps the dog was lonely and squeezed out a nice little warm friend to keep him company in bed while I was at work earning the income which keeps him in a fine collection of things he can annihilate. Perhaps, also, as with human beings, some dogs are naturally prone to dark and disturbing sexual fetishes, like having sex with dead things (check!), eating poo (check!) and sticking their willies in plushies (check!). My dog is that bloke on the internet who wants you to shit in a gimp mask so he can wear it. When I’m asleep, he probably updates his dirty fetish website with pictures of his ‘well-spooged’ plushie, Colonel Giraffi.
Conversely, dog behaviorists believe that shit-eating is the result of stress or really yummy poo, whereas I stick to the theory that my dog is a sick fuck with a shit fetish. I even found a site which claims to cure dogs of their shit eating through the application of Reiki Healing, but I’d rather have Igor munch his own turds that be touched by a hippie.
Perhaps the dog behaviorists are correct, perhaps little Igor does have a lot of stress in his life. Perhaps, then, I need to change my behavior in order to become a better dog owner. Maybe I should stop mocking him for having ginger pubes. Perhaps I shouldn’t laugh at him when he attempts to climb stairs with his stumpy dachshund legs. Maybe his self-esteem has suffered because I call him ‘Fucker’ and constantly express amusement at his lack of balls (“Ahhh hahahahha! It is a lady dog, Igor, and you’ll never get to have sex with her because your willy doesn’t work!â€) Worst of all, I should probably no longer stick cheese in his ears.
Or maybe his shit is divine; tastier than any Heston Blumenthal creation and tenderer than a fresh lamb shank. Perhaps in some culinary circles, Igor’s poo is more expensive than truffles and more coveted than caviar. Or maybe the fuck not; for fuck’s sake, it’s shit! It passed through his dirty dog anus; the only conceivable reason why he would eat it relies not on ‘taste’, but rather the fact that my dog is a dirty motherfucker who, if he had fists, would totally be into going elbow deep in whores.
Shit-eating, I’ve found, is not a topic of conversation found within polite society. They like to refer to it as ‘coprophagy’, whereas I like to refer to these people as ‘cunts’. What do civil people do when they find their Springer Spaniel masticating a bumhole boulder? “Oh, dear me, stop coprophaging your mooker stinks, you silly monkey face, or I shall not be allowed your cashmere blanket.†Whereas I shout, “Fucking hell, you shitting pissflaps cunt! What the fuck are you doing eating your own mothercunting shit, you sick fucking cock?â€
If I don’t update over the next several weeks, the dog has ripped open my chest and coiled a large one where my heart used to live,
