Shari made mention of Sage eating the yucca seeds the week before last (which made her extremely sick and probably would have killed her if we had not gotten her vomiting.) And last week she ate the foil off a champagne bottle - and ended up getting her stomach pumped.....any one think I have my hands full?

KaCee, That was totally Zeffy when she was a baby... Her vet got to know her really, really well.

I posted this story before from when Cadence was a pup in another topic, but since it is relevant here too I will post for those who may have missed it:

In our old, one bedroom apartment, We used to keep our bathroom trash can (a little white one with a lid that swung back and forth) right down next to the toilet. I use foundation and always put my triangle foam make up applicators inside the trash. Well one weekend Cadence started looking very uncomfortable. She was pacing around and would sit down and get back up and had a worried look on her face. I told my husband (who was my boyfriend at the time) that something was going on with her because she looked like a mother dog about ready to give birth and she looked like she was about to blow.  I kept an eye on her and suddenly the heaving started. I rushed her to the bathroom over the tile and suddenly out came 9….YES 9! cosmetic applicators! They were not digested, were really puffy, and were greenish in color. She looked way comfortable after they were out and started wagging her tail again. Then in the following days, she pooped out 1 or 2 applicators per poop. God only knows how many she ate. After that we started keeping the trash can under the cabinet. I was reading online about why a dog would even find something like that palatable and as a food source. I guess some of the ingredients that are in foundation are tasty and smell good to dogs. Who would have known! Now I am like a mother with a baby and look over my house each day before I leave for work, looking for things that might be tempting to her, closing doors, and putting away anything that could present a hazard. You become like a mom with a human baby. But I do keep a bottle of hydrogen peroxide in the cabinet just in case. She got up on the counter late this past summer also and ate 3/4 of a large onion and we thought we were going to have to use it. My hubby read online that she didn't eat enough to be toxic and we didn't want to make her throw up unnecessarily due to all she had been through already with her cancer and amputation. Luckily there were no adverse affects. I have heard of dogs eating socks and underwear, feminine hygiene products and all kinds of weird things. Who knows what is going through their mind as they are consuming them

Oh boy, where do I begin!! 

This is all Coda our beagle. Our pups have not eaten much - one stolen steak off the counter from Dante. Someone chewed the wood knobs off the end of the blind cords...and a chunk of random plastic here and there. 

Coda on the other hand:

A chunk of the deck
A chunk out of the carpet - a perfect circle, too! 
A chunk of the coffee table
Numerous pairs of underwear and socks
A peach pit, swallowed whole
A CD/DVD or 5
A silver gel pen that then painted her nails and face nice and sparkly. She was ready for a night out!
Several dog beds - she didn't chew them, she ATE them. Blankets, too. She'd poop chunks of paw print blankets all the time
She LOVES tea light candles so much I can't keep them in the house at all.
Milk and oreos daddy forgot on the table one time. She didn't even tip the cup!  
She's stuffed her head in a few bags of chips and eaten the whole bag in seconds.
She snuck up beside me once on the floor and drank my whole rye and coke while we had guests over.  
She has an affinity for the less finer things in life and has consumed (whole, might I add) a few adult oriented items to prevent hairless bipawd puppies if you catch my drift. 
Diapers.
She chewed up an entire case of 50 sewing needles. We found all 50 needles, but not even a small shard of the case. 

This was all by the time she was 2 - and she was crated even if we went to the bathroom for those 2 years!  She was a sneaky little thing as a pup. I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting many, many things - those are the big ones that stick in my mind, though! 

The only two things that made her sick were grass clippings, she needed two enemas and laxatives after that one. And when she ate a combined 6lbs of dog and cat food at a friends house after our other dog knocked the bags over. She got pancreatitis from that one. The others? Not even any barfing!  

Lord, Dakota, that P.S. is the funniest thing I have read in quite some time.  I think your mom and I would get along just fine.

Well, I can't top Coda, I doubt anyone can!

But Sam was eating something in the yard last week and I called her in, and she came, but I could tell she had something in her mouth because she had that "Who, me?" look about her.  So I gave the "Out!" and she looked at me like, "What?" so I had to fish it out.  It was a bloody bird leg, complete with foot and talons.  Yuck-o.  Although not as bad as a raccoon paw.  That would be a YUCK-O.

OK, so this isn't actually a dog story but it does fit under the category of fishing disgusting animal parts out of our kids' mouths. Last Fall, I was having serious issues with mice in my house, which is quite old and not well sealed. One evening, while I was studying, I looked up from my books and noticed one of my cats was chewing on a shoelace. Imagining a very expensive string foreign body surgery, I jumped up to pull the shoelace from his mouth. Lo and behold, the "shoelace" was moving, alive, and attached to a very unhappy, very large mouse. I screamed (like horror movie style screamed) and threw the thing across the room. It promptly ran under a door into my storage room and was never heard from again. I don't think my cat has ever forgiven me for taking away the most fun toy he's ever had.
