What unusual thing has your dog eaten?

[RNMOM]

Inspired by the battery thread.

Our first dog we got when married was a beautiful female Golden Retreiver. She was just awful about eating things. She ingested an entire frozen chicken, except for the plastic bag, twist tie and one drumstick. She ate the homemade dough Christmas ornaments then vomited them all over the house. The topper was the trac II razor blade from my shaver that was on the edge of the tub (rear edge, against the wall, mind you). We woke to find the razor on the floor. A quick trip to the vet and an xray showed it in her stomach. She passed it a couple days later but that was not fun having to smoosh poo till we found it. Oh yeah, she ate DH's glasses during the night too.

Needless to say, we are EXPERT at puppy proofing and guard our valuables and food well from our pets.

My current dogs haven't eaten anything strange, but the dog we had when my son was little ate EVERYTHING.

We had gone outside after dinner before wrapping up the leftover roast...came in and the roast AND THE FOIL PAN WE COOKED IT IN were completely gone.

His favorite thing though...he'd get into the diaper pail and pull out the dirty diapers and eat them.

I had a beagle/basset mix who ate a whole bag of Hershey's Kisses, tinfoil and all one time, and lived to bark about it. He had an iron stomach. He also climbed up on my cupboard one time and ate a whole pan of brownies, and again lived to tell the "tail".....True story.

Oh my gosh I can't top that. my Lab Toby ate a bottle cap once, and a variety of crayons pens, pencils and a sponge left on the counter. Just can't top the diapers though

Well, let's see...

Daisy got her name from eating the daisies in the garden. She has also been known to eat pens and razor blades. Now mostly she just eats her food and poo.

Sally has eaten lots of pens and paper. She ate a pink hi-liter once and the only way we know it was her was because of the pink on her belly and paws and around her mouth. She's also tried to eat DH's cell phone and socks. But the BEST thing she ate was this GOD-AWFUL pair of glasses my DH bought for himself. He thought he looked "GQ" and I thought he looked like Super Geek. Sally actually got a treat for eating those!

The worst my dog has done is a pound of raw bacon that I left out on the kitchen counter when I answered the phone. After a few minutes when I went back to the kitchen to start cooking I couldn't find the bacon. I looked in the freezer since I thought maybe I didn't take it out. No bacon. Retraced all my steps. No bacon. Asked husband and children if they saw it. No bacon. Now I'm worried about myself as I just knew we had bacon.

I sent DS to the store to buy bacon. As I was setting the table, I see the wrapper spotless and unopened. It was completely empty with only a few tell tale teeth marks. I haven't left anything on the counter since if I have to leave the kitchen.

The only other thing my dog has eaten are shoes. She prefers Sunday heels.
She has trained me well on picking up and not leaving out.

After reading this tread I consider myself lucky as she could have done much worse. I love reading about your pets.

My dog loves my DS's little green army men.........he won't eat any other toys that my son leaves out, only the green army men
& his favorite treats are grapes

Brutus ate the cable line that provides our internet and TV service.

My doxie at a spun glass snail Christmas ornament. Didn't phase him.

He also ate a box of chocolate exlax. Again, didn't phase him.

He has a stomach of iron.

My late Dobie Belle ate alot of unusual things but some of the things were a lightbulb, an entire pair of pantyhose, the basement door, fiberglass insulation... but give her canned dog food & she'd get an upset tummy! Go figure!

ETA: I'd forgotten that one time I had ordered a Pizza from Dominos, the pizza was sitting in the box on the counter, I'd walked to the living room to call the kids to dinner, walked back into the kitchen to find Belle & the EMPTY pizza box on the floor - it took all of 10-15 seconds

Those golden retrievers are so oral. Chewy has eaten: a rock (surgery required), many underwear (surgery required once), a turkey carcass, every tomato on our tomato plants, the Halloween candy, an entire cheesecake, just to name a few. Nancy

when my dog was a puppy, she ate EVERYTHING.

My cocker spaniel has eaten her share of chocolate and lived to tell about it. I usually don't have a lot of candy around the house, but during the holidays, I like to get a few things. One year at Christmas time, I had a dish filled with Hershey's miniatures on the end table. I went to bed that night and the dish was full, the next afternoon, there was one left. I accused everyone in the house of eating them all, but then realized it was her -- wrappers and all. Then one year at Easter, we got home at night and she had gotten sick all over the place. We discovered she got into the girl's Easter baskets and ate 3 foil-wrapped chocolate bunnies! Also, we've had to get a covered wastebasket in the bathroom. I won't even get into that!

A gel filled yo yo that you get at a carnival. He ate it whole which we did not know until one day something was hanging out of him and he was running around like a mad man until it came out.

Candy canes

Christmas cookies

Chicken bone

My underwire bra, I was able to stop him before he swallowed the wires.

Our old lab ate rusty metal off an old car when out in the garage, and lug nuts guess he loved DH's cars too!! LOL.

My Boston Terrier will eat anything. ANYTHING. This am she was eating candy wrappers, mulch from the garden, rocks, tags off the blankets on the couch. Of course any food products that are left around. She loves to chew on plastic bottles. candles. anything.

Our boxer Bruiser only had one "bad" eating habit...BREAD. You couldn't leave a loaf of bread anywhere he could get to it. Towards the end of his life he was so good at getting the bread out of the bag, he barely tore the bag. You could leave a loaf of bread by a steak and he would go for the bread everytime.

When we lost him we went back to the same breeder and he told us that Bruiser's mom was EXACTLY the same way. That is why they nicknamed her Sunbeam.

I had a neighbor who had 2 chiuhahas (sp) and they lived on pantyhose. She had to have them in for surgery several times. She stopped wearing them!

My jack russell (Buster) ate an entire box of valentine chocolates. He was kind enough to leave the brown wrappers.

He lives for his morning used Q-tip...yuck

underwear, female sanitary napkins and dirty socks
