    may have eaten a staple!

    My dogs shredded Lesley Nelson's, Really Reliable Recall this evening.  I had ordered the book a little while ago, and lost it.  Well we left the dogs for about 20 mins this evening and came home to the book shredded in the living room.  If anyone has the little yellow book, could you tell me how many staples are in the booklet?  The e-vet told me just to watch them ( I don't know who tore it up or even if they got a staple), but I am wondering if I should feed them both a couple small cotton balls, just in case. 
     
    If anyone has the book I would greatly appreciate if they could let me know the number of staples.
     
    Thanks!

    Ok, I think we are in the clear, we just pieced the book back together, and it looks like there were only 2 staples in it, and they are both still in the book (and not in their tummies)
     
    Sorry for the panicked post, I posted while the SO worked on the booklet.

    Good news!!!
     
    For the future, if you ever think your dog has swallowed a staple or glass soak a natural fiber cotton ball in heavy whipping cream and let your dog eat it. The cotton will wrap around the sharp object and allow it to pass safely through

    Glad to hear that they didn't swallow the staple and you have both staples.

    Thank you everyone!
     
     I feel much better now, I guess they were not as enthusiastic about the book as I was[:'(]
