puellasolis - 2010-05-14 3:56 PM I have a friend whose dog once went to town on a seal placenta that washed up on their beach.

EEEWW. I thought cat litter almond roca was going to be the worst, but for some reason I feel this is worse.

I don't know if I would have been able to identify seal placenta, though.

Well, it was some sort of placenta. S'pose it could have been sea lion or some other marine mammal. Whatever it was, it stank to high heaven.

The stories some of you tell make Kora sound like an angel. That is ok, she is only 5, still lots of time to get into trouble. Maybe I will have worse stories once my wife is pregnant and we have the first kid Money mouth  (though I hope not)

Let's see, things my dog has tried to eat:

1)Turtle- It had just rained and somehow the turtle wandered into the backyard.  Not good for him.  I had to rescue and send him on his way...slowly.

2)Frog-  I came outside one time and my dog wouldn't come up to me.  Usually he comes right up.  I see something weird hanging from his mouth(It was a leg).  He was still alive so I had to chase my dog down.

3)Mouse-  This one was disgusting.  Apparently my dog is a master mouse catcher.  It took me and a friend to round him up.  He refused to give up his mouse.  He ran around the yard with the tail hanging out of his mouth almost like he was proud to have caught it.  When we caught him the mouse was soggy.

Cell Phone
Oakleys
Wallet
Picture Albums
My Wife's dirty underwear
Dirty Tissues
Entire plate of sugar cookies
Whole stick of butter
Litter Box Crunchy Treats (when we still had cats)
Squirrel
Her own vomit
Box of caramels (including wrappers as they were individually wrapped)


The destructive things (ie: not poop, vomit or food) were all when she was under two. I can't remember the last time she destructively chewed. Now it's just snagging random food and the other nasty things she eats. My daughter has learned that anything held below the level of the table is fair game for the dog. The dog is disappointed the kid learns quickly.

Not a dog, but this one beats many of the posts.

One of my iguanas ate a condom once.

I had no idea he had gotten into anything like that until he, was, um, done with it.

And an interesting note, I have no idea why, but EVERY Iggy I have owned LOVED cheese.  They shouldn't eat milk really, and I can't imagine any evolutionary reason for it, but they would CHASE it down.

Would climb up and onto a pizza, spread eagle trying to take possession by taking position, and would beg like a dog for mac&cheese.

My St Bernard ate a bunch of bunnies that were about 2 inches long and filled with milk.  Like a Cadbury Eggs, with blood and milk.

She also ate our deck.  Actually, she chewed it up.

Our Springer Spaniel loves paper.  The dog ate my homework.

Some of these are hilarious some of them are disgusting!

This was before my time but my parent's bloodhound ate pretty much everything she got her paws on. The worst were:

A pink, fuzzy bath mat--vet said just to wait for pink poop. Apparently there was pink, fuzzy poop for a long time

An ottoman.

The entire arm of a couch as she lay on the couch, chewing with her head resting on the arm.

The food contents of my mom's Christmas stocking.

A bowl of New Mexican chili (She almost died because chili causes bloat. Apparently it was awful and they got her to the vet with minutes to spare)

And, the worst was when my dad was doing his PhD and had his soil samples locked away in baggies a briefcase. Almost all of his work was based on these samples. She apparently got into them while both of my parents were away and shook them all over the apartment. My mom came home to dirt strewn everywhere! I would have liked to be a fly on the wall that day.

She was a heck of a dog. She was old and sweet when I came along but I heard lots of stories about her young glory days.

One of my dogs is pretty good and only eats kitty poo, so we don't give her access to said poo.  But the other one, my god, what won't he get into.  But, one day he ate 1 pound of dark chocolate along with a few other chocolate bars.  Had to rush him to the vet to get his stomach pumped.  He went bounding into the vet all happy and came back out all happy...trying to get into every garbage can he could.  Nothing phases that guy....

My labra-dog loves all things fecal.  Not her own (standards, you know), but any other species is acceptable.  If she doesn't eat it, she'll roll in it.  She also loves hoof trimmings.  After the blacksmith comes to trim and shoe the horses, she gorges on hoof.  Then barfs it up.  Repeat.  Dogs are so gross.

I bought a bird feeder and a 10 lb bag of bird seed once (and only once).  Put it in the shed until I had time to hang the feeder.  I couldn't figure out why Drew was obsessed with going outside that day, until our evening walk.  He crapped pure birdseed for three days straight, probably 10 or 15 times a day.  I felt so bad every time he would squat while on a walk, but there's not much I could do to pick up the birdseed!

Hmmm, lets see...

My sisters dogs (black lab and great dane) had an interesting one. She looks out the back door one night wondering what all the ruckus is about. It's pretty dark, but finds herself wondering why the dane has a beard... goes out to discover that each dog has 1/2 of a skunk in thier mouths! Much halarity and cursing ensues as they play "keep my 1/2 skunk away from mom".

My childhood dog ate a 1/4 block of cheddar cheese while we had stopped in a McDonalds on a road trip. We didn't realize he'd eaten it until he puked it up on my sister when we were back on the road.

Not a dog, but I had a cat that ate a threaded needle, and passed it! Had to chase the stupid, freaked out cat around the house with it trailing behind.

Just a whole lot of yuck...

Before you hear what she ate you need the visual. She’s 10 now, but she’s beautiful. Half Husky (blue eyes), Quarter Golden Retriever (blond silky hair w/ fringes on her tail and legs), and quarter something else (maybe Aussie or Boarder Collie) that makes her smaller and gives her a white markings. 40 lbs built like a ballerina; tall, leggy, thin, and agile looking.

She is NOT a girly as she looks; now that she’s older she generally sticks to actual food, but she can eat like a moose. She also kills her own squirrels, badgers, rabbits, ground hogs etc. She’s spoiled enough she doesn’t eat them b/c they’re not food; just kills them for fun, and brings me the bodies.

But as a puppy, she ate all of her stuffed toys, I got so frustrated w/ it I finally gave her a teddy bear larger, like 14 inches tall. She keep even after all the stuffing was gone. It was still failry big and had bean bags in the feet to give it some weight, so it was still worth playing w/. Except that it was blonde just like her, and since she was a still a puppy it was about her size. Read her description again.

It looked like she had killed one of her siblings, eaten the guts and was running around w/ the carcass as a trophy.

I worked for a vet for awhile, and we had to 'help' when some of our clients' dogs ate bad things. A couple of times we had to do surgery. Imagine a pair of panty hose stretched and twisted through the whole intestinal tract. That was the most interesting

The worst times were when the alewives (fish) died off and the beach was littered with them. We had to flush out so many dogs because they chowed down on dead fish and the sand settled in their horizontal tummies.

And boxers were the worst, in general. One boxer at a Costco size jar of peanut butter, a whole jar of canola oil, and a HUGE pair of granny panties (not all at the same time).

Before I was 'wifed and kidded' I had a wonderful dog Called Heidi.

She was so funny in so many ways with her eating habits such as she would steal my crystalized ginger and take the whole packet to her little hidehole and slowly lick all the sugar off the ginger and then put the licked and sugar free ginger at the foot of my bed .... almost every peice. Weird!

But the best thing was that when I had a date that "worked" and nakedness ensued she would steel the girls knickers and take them away .... some form of wierd punishement for "steeling her daddy" perhaps.

It took me a few dates to realise why the girl(s) could not find their knickers ... we were thinking maybe in our lust they were "lost" but when I found out it was the dog I had to warn them to put their knickers somewhere safe from the dog ... amny uncomfortable conversations as to how I knew the dog would steel them.
