Whats the stupidest thing you have done, or seen, today?

[Eggs]

Its a rainy monday morning I'm retired and i was awake at 4am because i have a dog that is terrified of drizzle*.
Plus I pulled a muscle in my leg getting out of bed in a hurry to stop him scratching at the door.

*of all the things to be scared of in the UK - fecking animal. Vet is useless "try this £25, try that £30, try the other £25" TRY? we have regulated drugs trials - why experiment at my expense, give me soethng that works, before I use a brick ffs!

....scared of drizzle, never heard of that one, Chris. I can understand folk getting attached to their dogs but they must infuriate at times (not to mention the costs). Forecast for the week isn't too bad.

It started with thunder * (understandable), then it was heavy rain, then rain, and now even inaudible drizzle. Odd thing is he's not bothered at all when he's outside with all this, its when he's safe and inside he gets the terrors.
The latest snake oil from the vet is a syringe of gel (2 doses for £25 ... dose every 4 hours as needed) - so we're talking - if I were stupid enough - of £75 per rainy day - which you insert between the dog's lip and gum. Of course if he licks it away and swallows it, the calming effect is "greatly reduced." Honestly - what moron at the pharma labs thinks we'll deliver our drug by a gel, and the owner can explain to the dog not to lick its lips.

* speaking of which - being under the flightpath of RAF Fairford he doesn't like either. He ripped a claw out scratching through a wall last year during the RIAT.

...poor fella. Try a drop of Brandy in his Winalot, cheaper and possibly more effective.

Fairford is @roydo country.

You know, that's not a bad idea!

A bit of a drip would be an improvement, mate.
It took us 3 years to teach him to play ball - which - even though he now loves - he still doesn't get right much of the time. It's like its rocket science to him. "No - bring it all the way back, not half the way back yoou idiot! Oh really?? You want me to throw this second ball even though you've still got the first one in your mouth? How do you plan bringing them both back, without opposable thumbs?"
