Your dog ate WHAT?
There's never a day of pooper-scooping that I don't find evidence of some kind of culinary wrong-doing. But a bar of SOAP? Why on god's green earth would a dog eat SOAP? And, no, but thanks to those of you smart-alec's who asked: she's not blowing bubbles

| Sampson ate an entire stuffed toy once, thank goodness it passed. He also regularly eats the stuffing that is coming out from my couch that has been destroyed (Nick, not the dogs), and he eats mulch all the time. But the weirdest thing I ever found while poop-scooping was.... my toenail!! I had stubbed my toe very hard one day, and nearly the entire thing had come off. I wondered later that day where it went as I never found it. The next morning, I figured out why. there it was, polish and decals still on it. yuck! |

OMG, that is nasty!!! And I bet losing it hurt you like heck. Our nasty is bird seed. Especially Riley. Sometimes after I fill feeders he has poop that is pure birdseed, with some nasty brown slime sort of holding it together.  |
| Well you asked, so here goes........(I wasn't going to post this when it happened).
THis summer while on vacation Tasker got into the bathroom garbage. I had neglected to discuss with my daughter the proper disposal of "feminine products" and knowing that my Dad lives on an Island and that septic issues are HUGE, she used the bathroom trash for disposal of her "feminine products". Tasker got in the trash, spread it around and I cleaned it up, not thinking to question what he might have gotten. The next day I was walking him and he seemed to be having an unusually difficult time pooping. So I did a butt check and imagine my suprise to see a string hanging out of his poop shoot......... using my poop bag I grabbed the string and gave a tug and out popped a TAMPON  |
The strangest thing my sheepir girl Roxy ever ate. Here's the story. One day I was out scooping poo in the back yard when I noticed that one pile off poo was especially glittery. As I scooped it up...I noticed there was alot of orange glitter in it. I thought, hmmmmm....where in the heck did she find orange glitter???? I never keep glitter in the house....and our yard is fenced so she couldn't have picked it up in a neighbor's yard or anything. I forgot about it over the next few days until one day I was dusting my house. It was right around Halloween and I had my decorations out. I picked one of my Jack-o-Lanterns up that was made from paper mich'e (sp)...and it was sprinkled with orange glittler. There it was.....a huge hole torn out of the back of the jack-o-lantern. The funny thing was....she had to have taken it off of the end table...chewed the hole in it...and placed it back on the end table with the it's face facing forward so that the evidence was hidden because I never found it on the floor or out of place at all.  God rest her big Sheepie soul!!  |
| Well, you're all right. I DID ask
I thought it was going to be hard for Sybil to top the day she ate a table, but I see she's probably only getting warmed up... A few OES people were having lunch at my vet's house one Sunday when her phone rang. She came back in and announced that one of her client's dogs had eaten a diaper. I have friends with labs and goldens who are forever having to have them opened up to remove exotic objects, so I jokingly offered to hazard a guess at the breed and said, oh, was it a Golden? She said no, it was a Berner, and being the Queen of Peroxide, I should probably just keep my mouth shut.
During one notoriously bad week last December I called her FOUR times with the ever-critical question: my dog just ate <___fill in the blank___> Should I make her vomit? (yes, all four times - boy was that a fun week. That was the one week Sybil DIDN'T get into anything. Everyone else did. At least once.> Kristine |

| I haven't had too many problems with Violet eating things she isn't supposed to other then mulch, but her sister China my Aussie Shepherd ate my wooden pineapple shaped coasters. She ate four of them, in one outing. I am so happy China is past that stage. |

| Bailey was a fan of trash cans as a puppy, and he snacked on a few tampons too. Now all of trash cans have lids! |
| Mopsy, aka as the goat, ate soap once too! But her favorite items to eat were paper based:
magazines kleenex (used ones were her favorite!) toilet paper cardboard rolls (she would tear up the paper and leave it but EAT the cardboard !) video box covers (even just a few weeks before she died at ten and a half) First Communion banner (her poop was connected by the elastic cord) cardboard envelope from Eagle Scout pictures ( thank goodness not the pictures) Eagle Scout Merit Badge Card (fortunately not a completed card) cover to a book I had borrowed from my mom ( she was mad at me not Mopsy  )
MONEY!!!!!! (she ate a Twenty out of my purse - that I washed and disinfected when I found it in a pile of puke after work - and she ate a Ten - that went out of the other end - I refused to clean that one!) After she was gone and we got Harry it took us a while to realize that we could have trash cans on the floor again in the bathrooms. We also used to "Mopsy proof" the house before we would leave and everyone knew what that meant - put up everything, especially paper, off the counters and tables within reach of the sheepdog AND close the doors to the bedrooms especially her brothers' rooms where the good stuff was! Kristine this just may be the beginning with Sybil! |

Already the only safe place for my kitchen garbage can is the top of the fridge. And that's for the sake of her great-aunt. I bought the kind with a foot pedal, but, you know, it took her about 13 seconds to figure out how to open it by stepping on the pedal. I can't proof any more and still actually have items in the house. Her mother waits for me to open the fridge so she can dive in and snatch items from the lower shelves (I know, I know, and I'm supposed to be a dog trainer - sheesh!). I can't leave anything on the stove unprotected even on a back burner. I once returned to the kitchen to find a huge stockpot tipped over and an entire cooked chicken GONE. Five minutes. Mad Dog and her thieving pack of daughters. That was my first group peroxide session since I couldn't be sure who ate what. Evidence suggests Sybil ate the least chicken bones. Then again, I haven't seen the lid to that stock pot since, so who knows? Hmmmmm

| One large bag of Tootsie Roll pops - leaving the sticks and paper coverings in a neat pie on the floor. (Maudie)
Motorcycle - tires, seat, rubber hoses, handle grips. (Maudei with the assistance of Casey the St Bernanrd) Ben: Son's paycheck, leaving the corner with the check number on it. New credit card, prior to its activation. Socks, underwear, washcloths. One bite out of leather wallet. Sixty dollars cash, another 8 was found hanging out of his mouth and retrieved. |
| I haven't been able to keep the kitchen garbage can under the sink cabinet for years now. Drez will open the cabinet, slide out the can and feast away! Before we remodeled the kitchen we even tried to baby-proof the cabinet with those locks, but she was do determined to get to the can that she just kept pulling at the handles and biting at the doors until she broke the lock! So now we keep the can on the kitchen counter (she's too old to jump up there any more) and keep the bathroom doors shut, because bathroom trash is also yummy! |

| Kelsey ate a parrrot that hit the window and was dead, could not get to her in time before she gulped it down. EEEWWWW
Oh and 3 days later she threw up a nice little pile of rainbow feathers inside, no beak, no legs just feathers.
My previous sheepie girl, a whole roast chook cooling on the bench, ALL GONE. And another time a big 2kg solid frozen mince meat waiting to defrost, what a big dog popsicle. She did leave the plastic and foam tray the meat was in neatly on the floor EMPTY and licked clean.
She also ate a bird egg, a rotten one she found in the yard, then came inside and threw it up everywhere GROSS. Guess who had their face scrubbed and the breath was something no one could love PHEW. Oh and Kelsey loves top knot ties, she has eaten them out of the head coat of brie and previously when we had peppa, makes for colourful poopie pickup in the yard the next day. |
| One of them love to eat wash clothes as a puppy. It took a while for me to figure out where the wash clothes were going. But I found the way that we all make so many discoveries. Clear the yard, find surprises. |
| Well, maybe I don't feel so bad then.
Had one of the old lady dogs at the vet's this evening and she (the vet) happened to call me just as I got back home. Told her I could now add duct tape to Sybil's growing list of 'edibles'. She had to open a kitchen drawer to find that one. I'm so proud...
Especially appreciate those sheepies who are considerate enough to spare you having to run to the store to replace items but simply eat the $$$. Very considerate!!

| When I went to Kristine's for the Waukesha show, I really thought she was just a super neat freak. Nice clean counters, real minimalist look in decorating.
Now the truth comes out.
Seriously, I see why Kristine was amazed when I kept saying "Chewie is just the nicest, calm puppy". |
| I thought ALL sheepie owners had bare counters???? |

Poor Brie, just trying to be a cute girlie sheepie who plays nicely with her stuffies. Is there nothing that Kelsey won't do to humiliate her? |
| Not really unusual- but kind of a funny (?) story...
When my nice Kyleigh was around 13- she was diligently watching a bird nest that was in their drive way. She was taking pictures evey day- and had plans to use the pictures as a nature project for school... kind of a start to finish thing with the nest of Killdeers (sp). Max was just about one at the time- and on days I worked from home- we would walk up the lane ( my sister's family lives across the field from us) to greet Kyleigh when she got off the bus. So- we had walked to the bus- and I had noticed that the eggs had hatched. When Kyleigh got off the bus, I told her there was a suprise for her in the lane, and she guessed that there were now baby birds in the nest. She went running down the lane- Max running with her... they stopped at the nest ( she had built a wall of little rocks around it for an easy find in a long lane) and before we knew what had happened- Max ate that whole nest - birds - twigs and all- in one big gulp! Kyleigh was screaming- Max was hacking - I was about to throw up... Tramatic for all of us 
It was a calamity- and to my knowledge he has never ate anything like that since. Have no idea why he did it then, but Kyleigh was NONE too pleased. She took a picture of Max as the "final result" for the project. Gave new meaning to " the dog ate my homework" |

And you show your appreciation by giving him NO off lead privileges in the yard!
Go Chewie!!!!! (I knew you had some naughty sheepie blood in you!) |
| This is why there are no off lead priveleges - for just a couple more weeks!!!
It is too much work going from this: 
to this: 
Don't worry, we have some fun activities planned for Chewie in October - where he can get down and dirty! |
| Awww Chewie! If I were the judge The Swamp Thing would get my vote! |

| Max and Miller actually eat leaves that get in the house. And sometimes eat them outside too. They will actually fight over a leaf they find in side.... |
| London adores eating plastic eyeballs off of stuffies. When you go to pick up the piles of poop and you discovered smack in the middle of the poop an eyeball staring up at you. That has happened more times than I care to think about. |
| Hi Everyone,
When Dohdee was alive she was a very busy girl. When she was asleep and quiet, all was well, but if she was awake and it was quiet, she was up to something. One day she turned the corner from our living area downstairs and came back a few minutes later with this face and fur full of fuzzy stuff. After careful examination, we discovered that she had gotten into the trash a tried to eat the lint from the dryer screen! Fortunately, she didn't swallow any of it and we were able to pull what was on her tongue out of her mouth. Needless to say, we now had a special bag for dryer lint well out of her reach on top of the dryer!

Ok. Can anyone beat this?? Daisy ate our door!
This was just after our cat Mog passed away and we are convinced she was trying to let him in as we had replaced the panel that held the cat flap! We had to replace the door without a letter box and still, to this day, we have an 'outside' letter box on the wall. The things you do for your sheepies! |

Awww!  That is so sweet (and sad!). |
| OK, no more computer access for Sybil. Too many nifty ideas here!
My poor, abused cat seldom gets toys anymore, because the dogs just eat them anyway. Yesterday I broke down and got him one of those small, fur covered mice as a treat anyway. Since I live in a gated community, so to speak, I tossed it for him on the other side of the gate last night and he ran around chasing it, having a grand time and driving the dogs nuts. This morning as the dogs were all line up to go out, I noticed Sybil had this funny look on her face that she gets when she has stolen something, but I couldn't tell what is was. Operating on a hunch (and still half-asleep) I cupped my hand under her mouth and told her to give and she promptly spit this soggy mess of fur into my hand. Well, I had forgotten all about the cat's toy and thought it was a real mouse. Dawn/Got Sheep probably heard my screams all the way to Minnesota. Once I had calmed down and the dogs had stopped staring at me like "who is this insane person?", I recalled that I once bought him a large green "mouse" - I prefer the natural color but that's all they had - and promptly forgot about it until I called my vet hysterically because Belle's poop that morning was neon green. She loves to strip the fur off of them and eat it. Ugh. I was going to bring in a sample to test for some rare tropical parasite which must surely be residing in this poor, wretched dog when my vet (do you think she knows my dogs well?) talked me through it and I realized what had happend
Funny Farm, here I come. Kristine |
| And to think I was going to turn off the computer.......glad I didn't and have enjoyed reading all these posts.
Nothing dramatic here recently, not that Jack doesn't try. Fair number of pies, cakes, bread loaves, fish, etc have been stolen from the kitchen. Do have two stories of other dogs: 1. Boy and girl enjoying each other in a carnal way. Discard the used condoms. No condoms next a.m. Only dog in room. Rushed to emergency vet who assured them the evidence would appear in a day or so. Sure enough little balloons start appearing. 2. Mini - doxie left alone with giant pan of lasagna in Pyrex dish. Uprights return home to shattered glass all over kitchen floor. Check windows for break in, then remember lasagna. Pyrex pieces each licked completely clean. From around the corner emerges one very, very stuffed doxie. Rush to vet who administers a mild laxative......and a few hours later problem......eliminated in St. Bernard size pile. |
| Thanks everyone! Now my husband is sure I am crazy as I sit here staring at the computer and laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing. |

| One time london was hiding something in his mouth - i could see it in his eyes so i asked him to open up.. he wouldnt so I had to pry his mouth open and it was a baby finch! I dont know how he got it since we were living in an apartment that time.. so either i caught it in time before he "swallows" it or he was just protecting it. Id like to think he was protecting it... |
| Nope, here Shane would have swallowed the bird. My baby ducks kept disappearing and I was blaming the neighbor's cat....until I saw a duck foot hanging out of Shane's mouth..... He was such a sweet dog, but he had a taste for fresh poultry. |
 SHOES!! 2 pairs of new shoes!! :evil:
I'm fine now!! Over it and moving on!!! |
Reading this thread has made me very, very grateful my babies eating habits are relatively "normal". Only a little mulch, some stuffie stuffings and the occassional toy mouse.  |
| thanks for all the laughs |
My friends sheepie ate her Gold earring, she retrieved it 2 days later. 
Sterilized it and took it to the Jeweller to be fixed, it came out a bit bent out of shape.
I laugh at her everytime she has THOSE earrings on. Because I know where one of them had been |
I just found this post after posting shamu eating my underwear  |
| Mine have not got into anything nasty YET. Or that I have found. But Sami has learnt ot step on the trash foot thingy and up pops the lid and a snack for Sami. Now I keep something on the lid. Alpha getta not nice on a beard, after a bath I may add. |
