Oh boy, I have some of this stuff sitting on my workbench within reach of my kids when they were young, hope my wife doesn't read this story. I am glad the dog will be ok, just thought I would post this as a heads up.

Perhaps they should use it on The Big Dig to shore up the Damocles Tunnel ceiling panels.

I've heard about this happening before.

On a related note, I've also discovered that the Gorilla Tape they sell becomes totally useless if it gets wet.

I bet if they coated those panels completely and pushed them up hard that it would hold better than the idiot way they did it.

"It was just like a big, old, water-logged, soggy mass of rubber. It was like a rubber ball that had been in a swimming pool too long."

Until I saw the headline, I thought this was a story on Ted Kennedy.

>>"Please keep it out of reach of children or animals because it's really scary," said Rohde<<

Boy, they ought to put a warning label on that stuff or something!

Oh, wait, they do.

Just goes to show that all the warning labels and "safety features" won't stop people (and animals) from doing stupid things.

I actually have an unopened bottle, because somebody said it's great stuff....I just don't know what application it's best for.

Must be a special dog if it "uses the restroom", my neighbors dog just defecates on my lawn, it never banged on the door looking for my toilet.

Perhaps the dog didn't take the time to read the label before ingesting.

Like kids ... you need to be AWARE of what your pets are up to also.

"What she didn't realize is that the glue had grown to the size of a grapefruit -- weighing nearly 1 pound --- inside Princess' stomach. "

Dumb owner alert!

Don't let your miniature dach$hund eat $ock$ and underwear either, if you know what I mean. I'm picking her up at three o'clock at the vet$ office today.

Heck, that's simple as heck. If you want to stick two things together, and duct tape won't do it, use some Gorilla glue. That's all you need to know.

Sometimes, though, you'll want to use some duct tape to hold the parts together until the Gorilla glue sets.

It's a synthetic glue that is good for bonding wood, or unlike substances (like wood to metal, glass, etc). Very strong, and a pain to work with.
What makes it real problem if ingested is that it reacts to water (if gluing wood to another substance, it is necessary to mist it with water), and foams up, then hardens. Thus the big nasty clump in the dogs stomach.
I'm not fond of it, but is handy from time to time. I've never managed to use up a bottle before it went bad, though.
