The weirdest thing your dog ever ate

    We pulled 3 golf balls out of a lab.

     
    A guy that goes to my church in this little town (just ou t of Corpus Christi) has a brother living in Fort Worth and h is lab ate golf balls--there was no fetch involved, the dog found them and ate them.  Anyway, he drove that dog 400 miles down here for my vet to operate on it because of my vet's reputation.  The dog did just fine.

    Sequoyah ate a small American flag and pooped stars and stripes on the lawn. I told her how unpatriotic that was, and she has not tried to eat Old Glory since...


    That was a good one, Sequoyah.

    Emma ate paint balls, as a puppy. I don't know WHAT her crate was filled with when I got home, but it was neon green, and I could smell it before I opened the door. It was BAD. She's been to the vet for a corn dog "bone" and a raw pork bone (she has breaking things down issues, the kid poops whole kibble, when she gets it). She ate a hammock (the WHOLE thing) as a puppy, and consumed a large portion of a couch cushion. The couch cushion and the paint balls happened in the same week. I started keeping a closer eye on the little hellion, then.

    Teenie hasn't eaten much strange. She ate a whole bag (bag included) of Yummy Chummies, twice. I keep them up high, but she climbs. I quit buying them. She once ate a red leash. This dog was a senior when I got her, so I guess it's a little odd.

    Raja ate my Victoria Secret credit card. And just yesterday she starting biting at our christmas tree, and she even took off a pretty big branch....[:(]. She really will eat ANYTHING. which is why she is crated when we leave, who knows what she would have ate by now. But our other dog, Jazz who passed away last spring, when he was a puppy he ate a picture frame...that involved a trip to the emergency vet.

    Penny has a thing for flowers. She chewed a rose bush down to the ground when she was a puppy, and pulled the petals off the daffodils. I once picked a bunch of fresias and held them out to her to see what she thought of the smell and she chomped down on the flowers! She also picked all the green capsicums in the garden one day and ate them. It made her sick and she no longer likes capsicums. She has next to no prey drive, but she's very partial to large, crunchy insects. We found a gorgeous big dragonfly on our wall one morning and all my housemates were taking photos of it. Penny meandered up to see what we were looking at and smartly plucked the dragonfly off the wall and chewed the poor thing up. The other dogs have been watching her eat cicadas lately, in bewilderment and disbelief. The look on Jill's face when Penny snatched the cicada she was examining out from underneath her and crunched it up and swallowed it was priceless. One of her favourite treats is dried apricot, which is also probably a little weird for dogs.

    I know a dog that drools over horse food. She stands under the horse waiting hungrily for it to drop some hay so she can eat it. That's pretty weird.

    Ginger once ate a used marital aid of the male persuasion. I retrieved it whole and relatively un-molested from the back yard several days later. Dh was non-plussed (as were the neighbors) as I held said item up screaching, "I FOUND IT!!! SHE ATE IT, SHE REALLY ATE IT! HEY HONEY, I FOUND IT!!!"

    My daughter has a cocker who absolutely LOVES small plastic toys.  She had three children so watching him gets quite interesting.

    Xerxes ate a full plate of 20 hot wings (extra hot and yes, cooked) all the carrots and ranch dressing.  But he didn't eat the celery.
     
    I followed him around for 2 days.

    She got into the address labels on the coffe table and there it was in her poop!

     
    SO hilarious!!  You'd be in trouble if you didn't clean up after her- can you imagine?  An officer coming to your house with a ticket "We found this and it obviously belongs to you" hehehe
     
    My dogs have eaten rabbit heads, eyeballs and all (when I ordered the whole rabbit in pieces from Hare Today, that's what I got)
    I had one eat the paper plate that her food was on.
    My boy like to pull used q-tips from the bathroom trashcan and chew on those, too. [:'(]

    I'm LMAO over these- especially the story from dogslyfe! Ahem! How embarassing that must have been LOL.
     
    I remember once when I was a dog daycare attendant (glorified pooper scooper and doggy referee- really fun job tho actually)  A big goofy dobermann named Willie pooped a 20 dollar bill LOL.  Didn't realize dogs were supposed to give tips, eh?  :)

    Roxie got into the Christmas stuff over the summer.  Imagine my surprise when sparkly ribbons appeared with (read: wrapped around) her normal poop.  I'm just glad it was ribbon and not an ornament or ornament hook.  I moved that stuff after this incident, but it was my fault for letting her out of my sight.

    Jack has eaten (and pooped out whole) a sock, but from what I hear that is not weird for a lab.  He is also a terrible panty thief.

    Hmm, that's one way to find out whether your kennel people are paying attention, when you leave your dogs for a visit.

    Doug's eaten so many things I've lost count. He's only suffered ill from the half a bag of high-powered kibble he consumed last summer.

    I had an older dog who ate an old bread twist tie. Apparently they are (or were) made of lead. He was being poisoned and we couldn't figure out why until the vet did an xray. Because it was so dangerous for him to do the extremely invasive surgery required to get the thing out (it wasn't obvious where it was), she said, feed him white bread and it will come out. We also put him on numerous meds to support his liver. A few days later I was at a huge sheepdog trial, walking him, talking to a big name participant (think superstar), when Greg squatted and pooped. There was the twist tie and I did the happy dance right there. Boy did I have some explaining to do to that guy, who thought I'd lost my mind!

    Maggie went through periods, like the true artist that she is. The furniture period, the rug period, the clothing period, the woodwork period, the literature period, the plastic period, the clothing period revival, and on and on until it petered out at about eight years old. She still gets into stuff every so often, however. A couple years ago she got into a package of roach baits and ate the whole thing. No ill effects, by the way.

    Zhi recently ate a bag of raisins, giving me a near-coronary when I discovered it. The raisins weren't so weird - it was the tablespoon of salt I poured in the back of her mouth when I realized I had no hydrogen pyroxide. I can tell you now that salt works too. It foamed up and foamed up and she got madder and madder and kept glaring at me until the nausea hit! After she barfed up the pound of raisins, she wouldn't look at me for about two days. [8D]

    I just knew that I shouldn't have posted on this thread, because I would jinx myself and sure enough it happened this afternoon.  Bevo was out in the yard playing in the koi pond (regular occurance) when he actually came up with one of the fish.  He ran around the yard carrying it for a moment then the entire koi was gone.  All I could think to myself was "dammit Bevo do you know how much that fish cost me?"  Anyway, apparently koi and Bevo's stomach are not a match made in heaven because he has the nastiest diareaha I have ever seen from him. To top it off, he started vomitting early this evening. I had to go to the office this evening and pick up stuff to hook him up to I.V. Fluids.  I've got him hooked up now in his crate, in the garage.  He does seem to be feeling a little better, but the diareaha comes in waves.  For now I'll wait & see what happens.
