My dog ate.... (Page 2)

LOL!  When I think of this thread, I think in terms of what I have removed from dogs' stomachs/intestines during surgery for intestinal obstruction.

Golf balls, rags, carpet string, rocks, plastic bags, chew toys, chair cushion, brillo pads, acorns, corn cobs.

I've had two really bad ones this year.  One was a dog that ate an plastic grocery bag.  By the time the owner took the dog to our clinic (it had been sick at least a week) the damage was done.  Went in to do surgery and the plastic bag had sawed through the intestine in about 6 places.  The dog ended up dying.

Two weeks ago I saw a 5 month old lab puppy that ate a tube of polyurethane construction adhesive.  Not a little tube, but one of those big caulking gun tubes.  Really tore the hell out of the stomach lining, but didn't rupture anything.  That pup is doing just fine after surgery to open of the stomach and remove the hardened adhesive.

It is amazing what some dogs will swallow.

My German Shorthair Pointer ate all kinds of things when he was a puppy. My shoes (never my hubby's), every toy we gave him (including a XL Black Kong... in about 10 minutes), and countless other things. The funniest/grossest however was last winter, he'd find the poo that was frozen in the backyard (so his or our other dog's) and eat that. NEVER thawed poop. Only frozen. We called them "poopsicles". Luckily, he seems to have dropped that bad habit this year, thank God!

In his youth, my lab:

1.  Chewed up my most expensive pair of shoes

2.  Consumed an entire bag of Hershey's kisses... including the plastic bag they came in.  It was the holidays so they were in the festive colors and, incidentally, it's a little less festive when the brightly colored foil makes its way out.

3.  Destroyed a carpet becuase he pulled out a few fibers just for kicks.  Of course it was in the middle of the room making it slightly awkward to hide the bare spot with the sofa.

4.  Once ate a ginormous chunk out a mattress. 

In 12 years, we have had lots of "food indescretions" with Dodger:

2.5 dozen cookies on christmas eve (was at the emergency vet till 4am)
2 raw pork chops
1.5 lbs frozen ground beef
1.5 lbs of dog food (she somehow locked herself in the closet and found her food)
Too many tubes of lip balm to count
Too many tubes of toothpaste to count
Too many packs of gum to count
(never leave purses unattended)
Chocolate chip scented candle
8 hamburger buns
mutliple unattentive friends meals
More stuff out of trash cans to count
A vanilla latte (venti)

Get the picture...she is one of a kind!

My cat once drank wine and was drunk for two days.

He once ate the kitchen (earned himself his daily stay in the crate).  He doesn't like being crated during the day and is slowly destroying his cage.

At least when he ate the kitchen, the 'red paw prints' (from glass he pulled off the counter and broke) stayed in the kitchen and he didn't eat any other part of the house.  Oh yeah, apparently he wanted some spices from the lazy susan to go with everything else.

And behind those stacked totes, he figured out how to bypass the child latches on the cabinets under the sink to get the garbage can out.

what does your dog roll in?  anything that smells strong including a spilt bottle of Channel No5  (I know - a crime to spill it, but damn, it was one of the few times he smelled good!)

My sister calls the cat poop/kitty litter combo Kitty Roca

LMAO when I heard it the first time.

un-REAL - too funny that you snapped photos!

Bird poop.  Cat Poop.  Dog poop.  Horse poop.  Goose poop.  Her own poop.  You get the picture.

Also, we once came home to discover that a newspaper we'd left on the floor had been literally shredded into a zillion pieces.  We now give her all of our bills and important documents to shred.
