My choc lab/grizzly bear mix seems to have an affliction for eating very unsual things. I actually have a belly surgery savings fund for her b/c I know one day its gonna catch up to her. I can't remember everything shes eaten, but I'll go first.....


3 pairs of socks (at once), and all came out the other end

rolls of paper towels - One day I'm gonna write a letter to Bounty telling them how great their product is. It can go all the way through her digestive tract and STILL come out whole. Amazing.

Rocks

An entire jar of FAMILY sized Peanut Butter

A corner of my new carpet

Approx 30 ketchup packets, yes, they come out in whole form as well.

Approx 250 green painballs (that was just this past tuesday) Cool poop though. And she had enough manners to puke up the undigestable shells on my carpet. In one huge clump

A zucchini and cheese quiche - a 13x9 sized one

2 loaves of zucchini bread

an entire stick of butter (still never found the wrapper)

Bumble bees - she loves the buzzing sound

oh yeah, and her own poop as well as my other dog's poop on a daily(or more) basis

Anyone else????

Oh. My. God!!!!! Shocked

My dogs have never done anything crazy aside from stealing pizza and eating poop Dead but my friend's dog has an affinity for the crotches of Victoria's Secret underwear. Yes, he DOES discriminate. Wink

Our shepherd ate dirty diapers, cat poop (we had to put a kitty door in the closet for the box), a whole chocolate pie, candy corn, a whole loaf of bread, seems to me she once ate pantyhose too. I worked for a gyn and we once had to replace a women's diaphram because the dog she was babysitting ate her.

That is a good list. Our guy was worse as a puppy but still sometimes gets into things:

- whole loaf of bread (multiple times)
- 3 boxes of chocolate covered caramels
- many, many stuffed toys (both his and the kids)
- numerous bumble bees and other flying things
- a whole beef/macaroni casserole

and his most impressive achievement

- a whole apple pie, including the tinfoil pie plate (the whole darn thing!!!)

No damage to report yet and he is calming down now which is good.

Um. Crap. Cat crap is his favorite.

I only wish I had started keeping a list of everything my boxer/lab ate as a puppy (and the value of each, since it would be an impressive figure no doubt). Aside from the "typical," my dog has an affinity for:

-soda cans (how she doesn't rip the inside of her digestive tract open, I have no idea)
-bananas (she peels them....don't know how, but if I start out the day with a bunch of bananas on the table, all I'm left with by the end are banana peels)
-jars of paint (smart girl, she opened them, decided she didn't like the taste, but apparently decided the couch needed a makeover cause she left them there to leak all over)
-half a bottle of Tums
-About 16 oz of prime rib (well who can blame her really? She's a dog....still, I was pissed)
-two turkey sandwiches the morning she was due to get spayed (and was supposed to have fasted for 12 hours beforehand)
-oh yes, and who can forget the time she ate half a bottle (Sams Club size, not a small one) of olive oil, a bag of chips, and then a little peroxide...anyone know what peroxide does to dogs??? It induces vomitting. Olive oil vomit. NOT FUN to clean up.

My brother and I refer to them as Snow Caps (remember those?) because our dogs love them so much.

My dog used to eat garden hoses and would have bits of rubber hose in his poop. One day he ate a 2 foot by 2 foot hole in my wood fence. This prompted me to install an invisible fence. Once we forgot to put his collar on when we let him out. So he ate the invisible fence wire. Fortunately for him, he has grown up a little and stopped eating more than his bones and doggie toys.

MTA: I forgot to mention. When he pukes, we don't need to hurry and clean it up. Because he likes to eat that too. I am so glad I am not a dog.

Yeah, we have one that loves crap. Horse crap, dog crap, kid crap.

My brother's dog ate anything that he could swallow. The full tube of bike grease was entertaining. It came out pretty much the same way it went in.

Acorns and grass is Daisy's current diet. I once had a German Shepherd that ate a baseball (not whole).

The worst and most embaressing thing that our dog ate was when she was a puppy....she decided to dig into the garbage in our bedroom and found and ate a used condom. We were a little concerned it might get stuck but it eventually came out. They do not make it through in one piece. Many little pieces...the oils in the dog food must break them down.

Otherwise she likes the little furry mice that come in multiple colors for cats. She ate a green one and then when she was in for her doctors visit she crapped it out in the vet's office. The vet wasn't sure what it was...but my wife knew right away.

She also has a thing for bars of soap. She will eat them and then about 12 hours later will throw it back up. I don't know why she does it...but she likes it.

She has destroyed but not swallowed....cell phones, tv remotes, rolls of paper towels, books (Marely and Me of all books), a box of tissue....the list goes on and on....she is much better now...and pretty much only chews on her toys now.

But for some reason....we still keep her around. Big grin

My shepard ate 2 sticks of butter.

My Mom's lab once at an entire bar of soap.
I need more cowbell.

My Dalmation/Lab's "feats" pale in comparison to some other's, but:

we saw pieces of bright purple plastic in the front yard one day and realized she had eaten her toy...
she threw up a very large multi-colored fabric of some sort one day & we still don't know what it was...
chewed a dining room chair leg, a hot tub cover, a car bumper, wooden and plastic planters...
and of course likes all kinds of poop and gets sick on a regular basis Tongue

Dogs are great! Big grin

MTA: One smart thing: Eats blackberries off the bush - just the ripe ones! Surprised

Both the beagle and the dachshund love kittie poop. They also recently discovered that sucking cherry tomatoes off the plant is great fun.

The dachshund eats sticks, but the beagle doesn't.

The dachshund eats towels and blankets.

The dachshund once ate a six foot nylon leash. For the record, he's 18 inches long.

It took 5 days for pieces of leash to pass. Both directions. It was a tense time.

All the Halloween in our kid's basket, including wrappers. I guess chocolate doesn't hurt him! Shocked
