Embarrassing!!

Hiya,

I thought i would share with you something rather embarrassing that happened to me the other day.

So, i have been training Paddington to walk on a lead for a few weeks now. He is really good and doesnt even seem to notice the lead. Have ventured outside a few times now but no futher than a few metres as i dont want to overwhelm him.

So, the other day, it was 11pm, i was in my pink pyjamas (with pink penguins on), my oversized slippers and fluffy dressing gown and i think "ill take paddington outside quickly, no-one will see me as its so late". Paddington was being very good and walking well so i got carried away and went further and further away from home. I have only just moved into the area and am still getting used to the lay of then land and suddenly realised we were lost!

We were suddenly in a maze of streets and pathways and parked cars everywhere. Id been focussing so much on watching Paddington and making sure he was ok that i forgot to check where we were going!

I hurried past a house because i could see there were people lingering by the door so thought id nip past before they come out and they wouldn't see me. They opened the front door just as i walked past! cringe! I heard someone say "thats girls walking a cat" which is embarrassing enough let alone being out in the streets, lost, AND in my PJ's walking a giant kitten!

Paddington thought it was all great fun! He got a lovely long walk.

:(

We were out for about 20 minutes in the end! I have never been so glad to see our house before.

The things that go through your head when you are lost. I was imagining having to knock on a 'friendly looking door' and begging to use the phone or asking for a bowl of water!:shy:

Vowed to only take him out fully clothed in the future (which seems rather sensible in any case)!!

Has anyone else got any embarrassing MC stories?????

Glad you finally got home x

Thank you Candes,not, I still think Jolly wins though,mine happened in the house & I was not wearing them,we had visitors Jolly & heard China making noises out in the hall that tells us she has killed a "mouse" so we congratulated her & she promptly walked in & dropped her "kill" at the feet of our visitors,yes,a pair of my knickers,luckily they were clean,when I went to the bedroom to check I must have left the drawer slightly opened because just about every item in there was spread around the room, she would always pull any item of clothing off of radiators if put there to air but it is not something you leave around when people are coming,yes embarrassing,luckily we knew the people well,they loved it I had to blame my red face on drink & China just sat looking smug,but I think walking around outside,cat on lead,pink PJ's,oversized fluffy slippers,not something you would EVER catch me doing,bet the old heart quickened when you thought you were lost,just luv it,great story to read after a hard morning at work,thanks.....

Great stories thanks for sharing ! I haven't personally had an embarassing moment with any pet, but a good friend of mine who has a dog certainly has one of the most embarassing stories I have ever heard. I would love to share it with you, but I am not sure I could get away with posting it on the forum if you get what I mean ;)

Oh, no, there is nothing more embarassing than wandering with your cat in pink PJ and oversized slippers on the streets.:shy: Nobody can beat you in the competition for the most embarassing story :LOL: Even walking totally naked would not be so embarassing :rofl:

lol, ok, the version you hear at dinner parties is a bit more graphic tho

Friend,
friends dog,
friends mum,
friends mum cleans friends house,
friends mum finds dog toy under friends bed
friends mum gives to dog
dog loved his new toy, however.......
- not dog toy !
- friend comes home,finds mum playing fetch with FRIENDS toy ! :shy:

Ohhh,I luv that,sure beats my knickers any day,could nearly beat the pink PJ's & fluffy slippers but I still chuckle at the thought of that combination walking the street at night with a cat on the end of a lead & nearly getting lost, now this, how ever did friend explain that to friends mum,I think I would curl up & hibernate,but it is funny isn't it.....Mind is still all a whirl {last word not what I planned putting but thought twice for once before writing} !

That.....is......AWFUL! oh my god!!

Actually laughed out loud! HORRENDOUS!

I've been to a funeral today, and I'd like to say thanks to a truly awesome thread that's really cheered me up :rofl: I didn't think much could top the PJ story but the the dog 'toy' was so funny I had to share it with OH! What on earth would you say to Friends Mum when you got in and discovered that?!? I bet Friend never played with that toy again though...

No Karen, I don't think it went back in her 'toy box' he he x

Hmmm, when you say 'friend's toy / mum / dog'......it's not you is it???? You're among friends here, don't be shy! hehehe!

Ha ha I was waiting for that one lol. I would love a dog but unfortunately hubby isn't a dog lover, and with stories like this one can you blame him.

Don't knock pink pjs! My friend was wearing pink cat pyjamas (and recovering from food poisoning) when she met, for the very first time, the man who was eventually to become her husband! Good things come to those in pink pyjamas!

That image kicks the mind back into overdrive,one good thing is having seen your friend like that she didn't have to worry about the first time he saw her with no make up on + he knew she was a jim jam girl....x

I really enjoyed your story! How funny! I live 'in the country' with only one neighbor in sight and go out in all kinds of weird outfits....If I ever move to more of a neighborhood I will have to watch myself! How hard was it to get your cat used to the harness? ( you use a harness rt?) I'd love to take this guy outside. Tried this nice soft expensive harness thing when he was smaller. Just around the house...he would just work his way out of it....Now he is so big I have to get another harness but not sure what would be best.

Hello, i started training Paddington at 12 weeks. I bought an adjustable harness as he was growing so quickly. I put it the harness on him, give him a treat, take it off and repeat this a number of times so he started associating his harness with something good. Then left a bigger an bigger gap between putting the harness on and giving him the treat. Did this fora few days and then eventually took him outside. Just a few minutes then brought him back in. Eventually we are now at the stage that when i get my keys off the hook in the hall he waits by the door in the hope he is coming with us too.

Pads walks on the lead now like a dog!

We take him to the shops in the car and took him to our parents house. It gives you much more freedom when you can take them with you.

We are going to start training Phoebe soon with the same technique. Good luck with it and persevere!

When Pads is a bit bigger we will buy him a walking jacket like these ones...Walking Jacket for Cats. Take your cat for a walk! Safe, secure and fun. i think it will be more comfortable for him.

Thanks for the advise. I will give that a try soon...imagining it will take alot more work since he is older now....

Funny stories :LOL:

Nothing funny from me, they are too well behaved
