My last dog jumped the fence and crashed our neighbor’s wedding reception where she grabbed and ate an entire Virginia ham. We didn’t know and couldn’t figure out why she drank gallons of water and panted like crazy. I thought she was dying in the middle of the night. The emergency vet took x-rays, saw the whole ham (have no idea how she did it) and had to pump her stomach. $1,000 later....
Our new lab eats socks. It’s kind of gross to clean up the yard. The vet says it might kill her, but she opens the hampers. I’m fit to be tied.
When I was growing up, one of our barn cats went a little too far smacking around our Great Dane/German Shepard mix. He was 145 lbs and so skinny his ribs stuck out.
He picked up the cat, just like that. He carried it around the yard for nearly 5 minutes.
We were scared to try and get it back. We kept expecting half a cat. The cat never fought at all (after inside his mouth).
He set the cat down without physical harm. The cat never got near him again.
Pitstop ping
sorry, almost forgot you.
I love the expression on your cats’ face... priceless.
Just last Sat. I had to take my mother’s Maltipoo to the emergency vet. Dumb dog ate a rock. $1400 for a “free” dog. Today it came in with a piece of crockery. I have ordered it a cage muzzel for when it goes outside. Next time it eats something that has to be removed, the dog is toast.
My dog ate a baby rabbit in one bite. Chomp! Gulp.....Gone.
Worthy ping!
Panties, dirty socks, paper. Our golden has to “retrieve” something. She does the “marley mambo” with it. We call it the parade.
I had no idea until she ran into the living room, jumped on the couch and barfed up a ton of soap bubbles. Talk about WTH??? The vet said it probably just cleaned her out. It was A LOT of soap bubbles.
And Pippin has shown him the advantages of snacking on used tissues while we are out; the house looks like a kleenex factory exploded.
LOL
My dachshund puppy ate an entire military miniature-a lead one. (This was back in the 1980s before military miniatures had to switch to some other metal because of health concerns, I think the new metal is a compound ending in -ium, but anyway...). The “miniature” was nearly 4” tall , and it was of a French hussar smoking a pipe while sitting in a chair. All we ever found of the hussar was his head and part of the chair...The dachshund puppy (who lived to be nearly 15 years old) ate and presumably digested the rest of the figure.
What a sickeningly cute little puppy! Looks like a miniature, and like he’s not too happy with the ear-action going on.
LOL! Awwwwwwwww! He’s adorable!
My Lab ate a cell phone once. Took it right off the sprinkler man’s belt, played keep away and chewed it to pieces. Don’t think he swallowed any of it, but I had to buy the man a new phone.
