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

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago

It was worth it!

[–] ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org 18 points 2 years 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.

[–] daddy32@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years 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".

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 years 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

[–] Holistic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe its a security cam

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 36 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years 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...

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 16 points 2 years 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.

[–] Beetschnapps@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years 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

[–] ChaosInstructor@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years 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...

[–] ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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..

[–] ChaosInstructor@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org 2 points 2 years 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 🙃

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

nobody volunteers to clean the ceiling in my house

[–] Skunk@jlai.lu 14 points 2 years 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.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 2 years ago

He just wanted to including you in the fun.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

God this dog is like my spirit animal or something.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 7 points 2 years ago

Accidental renaissance.

[–] TTH4P@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

It's all about maximizing fun in your safe space

[–] NegentropicBoy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

One of life's highlights.

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 4 points 2 years ago

Maybe it was raining outside.

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
