What a dog who stones himself would look like...

A New York City dog has undergone emergency surgery to remove more than 100 pennies from his stomach.
The New York Daily News reports that a Jack Russell terrier named Jack swallowed 111 pennies last week and quickly became ill.

Of course in dog money that’s almost $7.77...
If he would have been a little more discriminating and just swallowed pre 82 pennies he would have been fine.
>>>Bad dog! I said pick up the SCENT!>>>
Ohhh, FUNNY! Thanks for the early morning laugh.
LOL. I have an 85 lb. Pit/Lab cross and a 109 lb. Great Dane who get into wrestling matches like tht all the time. Teeth fully exposed, horrible growls and snarls, and never a drop of blood. They always try to do it in front of me and in the living room or on my bed just before I try to go to sleep.
They look vicious when they do it but there are subtle clues that they’re playing like the curled back tongue.
That’s the dog’s sternum, but I had to look twice as well.
The area I was looking at was just in front of the rear legs and above the “R” marker... But I was more like “what else do we have in there— ooh-ohh, that looks like a sock monkey. The “eyes” of the “sock monkey” are probably gas...
Some days you can see sock monkeys _anywhere_... ;-)
Oh, and had the pennies passed through naturally, Jack’s owner would have had a chunk of change! [try the veal, I’m here until Thursday...]
Pennies! Pennies!
Holy crap, I need some new glasses!
You don’t want to know what I thought the headline said...

I have a garbage gut Lab.
She liberated a 10 pack of safety razors from the bathroom cabinet and ate the paper off the blades.. They were crumbled. After I checked her mouth for lacerations, I had to straighten the blades and fit them back together. Nothing missing..
She chewed up a wire brush. Took a long time getting the wires out of the carpet.
Yesterday she was chewing something and I had to pry her mouth open to recover a roofing nail with the plastic collar.
When she was a puppy, I had my hand almost to my elbow down her throat more times than I could count. She was a rock chewer.
I figured out a technique that I could try if I caught her soon enough. Pried her jaws apart and shook the hell out of her head. If I was fortunate enough the screw or rock or whatever would fall out.
