we’re extremely careful about stuff being on the floor. we have little hoovers that don’t have gag reflexes.
Our first Doberman puppy (25 years ago) swallowed a 22 inch choke chain. We’d tossed it on the floor after a walk and I heard a sound that was metal on teeth and suspected he’d swallowed the pile of chain on the rug. Sure enough he had, as the x-ray showed, and it was removed by surgery. As a pup, he would eat almost anything and we learned to keep things out of reach. He once had a wad of 20 dollar bills in his mouth that was left on a table before a vacation. He also went up on the counter as a big puppy and ate the top off a cherry pie. He was lots of fun!
I spilled some Hoppe’s #9 on the carpet once, and for the next 3 days the dog was constantly licking that area of the carpet.
Wish I had know about this contest. One of my dogs ate a balloon. It came out his butt inflated (again). It did not require a visit to the vet. I removed it myself, gently. I have a picture around here someplace. :)
My typos progress faster than my hair falls out.
Same here. know=known
My keyboard is getting old and the keys are sticky, it’s not me. :)
Our dog used to eat plastic, metal and whatever food that was foolishly left out on the counter. One time, my mom went to the deli and purchased cold-cuts for the long weekend, set them out on the table and the ten pound dog must have eaten two pounds of roast beef and bologna before we caught her. She laid on her side for two days until it passed. The same dog ate a pin cushion with one pin in it and it eventually passed, along with a few dimes, a plastic ring, a busted watch (no strap) and lots of little screws.
Dumb dogs, they’ll eat anything..............and people accuse cats of being finicky. LOL!
Once read a of story of a dog eating a woman’s sock. The sock went missing and the owners noticed it hanging from the rear of the dog a couple of days later.
I have a cat who likes to chew on cardboard boxes. She doesn’t swallow anything (that I know of), but leaves a lovely puncture pattern along all flaps.
Good grief, the things some of them will eat!
My dogs are pretty normal ,, one chews up balls ,, GOLF BALLS (usually doesn’t swallow.. and when he does the pieces are small) ... and the other raids our patch of lemon grass because of a weak stomach ... when he isn’t chowing down on armadillo’s and possums.
You could always blame auto-correct these days... Just something to tuck away for future reference....
Snake eats light bulbs
And the ultimate dumb@ss snake trick
True story-—My mother’s long haired white cat had a blob of doody stuck toits backside. I grabbed a paper towel to clean him. Knowing that it was dried and matted in his hair, I figured I had one shot of yanking it off and with it a lot of hair. While petting him with one hand and the other I surrounded the blob with the paper towel. As if I was trying to start a chainsaw I YANKED. Cat screeched, jumped, took off running— and there I am standing there holding this blob and ONE END of 30 feet of embroiderythread. Cat ran from kitchen to bedroom and I had to pick to the thread, the last few feet I pulled out from the cat as he was hiding under her bed. He was hissing at me something fierce, he wouldn’t come near me for a week.
I'm left speechless over the last picture, lol.
Epic snake fails.
The last snake is a King Snake..a snake who eats snakes..so I reckon it kinda makes sense.
Sorta.

I can’t help but wonder if the king snake was saved by some humanitarian...or he just...well ya know.
