Weirdest thing your dog has eaten?

Grey's done his fair share of eating items that should never be consumed. The scariest one was when we cracked open two gallons of windshield washer fluid. The funniest one was when he licked up toothpaste that fell on the ground and drug his tongue across the floor for five minutes. Guess it was too minty for him. lol Then of course, he dined on cat poop for a while...
 
Brown doesn't really eat non-food items. One Christmas, however, he ate part of this wooden snowman sign my mom had by her front door. He also unstrung a lighted candy cane, and my mom nearly electrocuted herself when she tried to pick up the wire not knowing it was destroyed. Brown's more of a garbage digger than anything else. Years ago, I woke up to Brown standing among a pile of sweet potato peelings and coffee grounds, which were also stuck to his lips. Months before that, we had a ton of boiled egg shells and boiled shrimp peelings in an outside garbage waiting to be picked up, and Brown had a field day. He ripped the bag, spread shrimp peelings everywhere, ate  a bunch of it, etc. I hated cleaning that one up because I absolutely despise seafood, especially the smell of seafood, and you can imagine the smell of that after sitting in a black garbage back in the middle of summer.

Our golden Chewey who is now at the bridge at a whole bag of blowpops My sister is obsessed with them and she left an unopened bag unattended and he ate it all while they were gone. They come home to a 110 lb golden with blowpops and/or gum all over his fur.

ROFLMAO! I can just see it! Were there wrappers and sucker sticks stuck all over him, too? LOL

Oh, Sofie's sister once got into my supplies for beadwork and quillwork. She decided to play Toss the Toy on Ole's bed with...........a plastic bag of porcupine quills! She had to open a plastic drawer in an organizer to get to them, mind you.

Luckily she didn't eat any, but she did meet Ole at the door all happy happy happy from having so much fun, with quills sticking out every which way all over her! Not to mention that Ole's bed was full of quills as well! She's the only dog I know of who has been quilled without being anywhere near a porcupine!

He got them all out, except one that did get under the skin and worked its way out a few months later. We were SO afraid she'd eaten some, but luckily not. With her coyote coloring, the quills blended right in and looked very similar to her fur, it wasn't easy.

Yeah there were wrappers on him as well!  He was a great dog though!

I think the funniest thing about labs and retrievers eating weird stuff is how CHEERFUL they are about it. You come home, and they've got (for example) green latex paint on their chins and they are so HAPPY to share their latest fun thing with you.

 
Yep!  Even when Monkey had to be peeled from the sofa, he was wagging his tail - proud as punch.  As for the bananas on the fridge, the only possible way he could have gotten them was by scaling/climbing the vaccum cleaner that was next to it.  But even that is impossible to imagine.  Although, this is the dog that cleverly (very) opened two drawers in the kitchen and used them as *steps* to get to the roast that was in the middle of the counter (previously out of his reach).  It's quite amazing how smart they really are - you know when they want to be.. 

I always tell people that retrievers are very smart but sneaky. Most people don't believe me, but if you've ever had one you know it's true. They ACT stupid to your face to disarm you, I think, but give them an unattended butter dish and as soon as you turn your back, they'll find some way to slurp it off the counter! Sometimes while you are still standing there.

I loved your stories, Christine.[]

The weirdest thing Foster hase ever eaten would have to be the barbeque scraper brush! I guess someone left the cover off of the barbeque and I went outside and saw it in peices with the bristle part missing and no evidence of them anywhere. I later figured out he had eaten every single one of them and had pointy poop! That must have hurt!

My sister's friend has a crazy JRT named Maddie who eats razors. Yes, razors. They try to hide them in a cupboard above the toilet, but somehow she manages to get them down and eat them anyways!

- Candles - this one's a kicker!  He chewed up a LARGE box of tapers, again while on the sofa.  He spit the wax out as he was chewing.  Well, he feel asleep in his mess and the heat from his body melted the cheap wax.  When I came home from work, he was *waxed* to the sofa.  He could not even get up to greet me!  I had to PEEL him off the fabric.. 

The funniest thing I read ALL day!!! Thanks for the laugh... []

I was reading this thread yesterday too and thinking "hmm, I don't have anything really to contribute to this thread..." and of course, he picks up a cigarette butt and swallows it on the morning walk [:'(]

Our schipperke ate my retainer as a kid (boy - were my parents mad!).

LOL! Toby, my mom's little mutt, ate my retainer. The orthodontist didn't believe me! It was horrible.

Max has eaten so much stuff I can't remember it all, but today, my mom thought she would keep him from getting at the stuff on the table by letting him taste something bad. So, she gave him a taste of the horseradish. The one and only time I tried it, which was about 15 years ago when nobody else would do the honors so my uncle convinced me it was my duty as the youngest to do so, I cried. What did Max do? He licked it happily from my mom's finger, and would have gladly taken some more. So much for that method of fixing the jumping problem. 

wow...
Talus is still an amateur in this department...
he's only eaten some wax paper from burgers we were bbq-ing, and a small glove (which we made him throw-up), and the eye from a stuffed animal he got a hold of...
...i'm just glad he's not a poop-eater...

Oh, poor baby. That sounded painful...

Beau ate my feather pillow once. I came home to a house full of feathers. Oh my what happened here, looking at the dogs to spy the culprit and here is Beau sitting looking at me with those I'm sowwy mom look in his eyes with chicken feathers hanging out of his mouth and one stuck in the crease of his nostril.
Needles to say I lost it when I saw his face. I didn't have a camera then so that was an oportunity missed.
