A big goofy dobermann named Willie pooped a 20 dollar bill LOL.
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]
