[sm=lol.gif] This is a great thread.
The weirdest thing Rupert ate was... well,
I don't know what it was!
But, he threw it up within minutes of eating it. Here's the story. It's nasty and NOT FOR THE FEINT OF HEART. This was last summer. I brought him outside as usual on my lunch break. He goes down into the woods to do his business. I noticed him sniffing around a little extra, and then chomp chomp. "LEAVE IT! DROP! COME!" He
did come running, proudly, but after the GULP.
We went inside, and that's when the heaving started. Luckily, I was able to get him on the linoleum. One big *thing* came up. Uch. It was brown, solid, slimy, I guess about the size of two golf balls. I tried not to look too close. [:'(] I made Rupert sit/stay on the carpet, because he still seemed interested in it. I reached for a roll of paper towel, and out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw it
move! No, It couldn't be! I squatted down, not too close, and watched it with one eye (that's all I could manage). The thing was
pulsating! OMG! [

] I couldn't believe my eyes! (yes, I had opened the other one by now.) I quickly grabbed two plastic bags. The thing opened up and all these beatle bugs crawled out. [:-] Eww gross yucky yuck blech ah ew eh!! [:-] I bolted to the linen closet and grabbed a bottle of bathroom cleaner with bleach, and started spraying the thing. I pulled about 20 paper towels off the roll, and picked it up, put it in the double-bag, tied it tight, and brought it outside to the garbage.
YUK! I throughoughly cleaned the floor, and demanded to know from Rupert, "WHAT WAS THAT?" His eyes were just as big as mine.
