Pizza, Kringle, and Chocolate... oh, my!
They came over friday, so on Thursday night, Josh decided to order a pizza while we were cleaning and preparing the house for their arrival. Josh ordered too much pizza and left it sitting out on the stove. Friday morning comes and I found the pizza completely gone and the pizza bag on the floor (here, the best pizza comes in a bag, I know, weird right?). Asterisk has never, ever surfed the counter in the entire time we have had her. So I knew it was Wendel. Friday, we take the family out to dinner. Now, prior to this, they unpacked some goodies that they brought with them. Including a blueberry Kringle. Kringles, for those not familiar with Wisconsin pastry, are large danish/coffee cakes. You can see where this is going. Came home from dinner and found the cellophane off the Kringle, the plastic container neatly opened and the entire Kringle is gone. I feel Asterisk's tummy, and it is flat. I feel Wendel's tummy and it is like a basketball. Cut now to this morning (sunday). Josh wakes me up at 7:30 by putting a chocolate wrapper in my face. Asterisk helped to wake me by sitting on my chest. Okay, shower, throw on some clothing and makeup and pile Asterisk in the car. Fortunately, she only had one piece. The vet said her 68.3lb body would have to have ingested an entire bag to do any real damage. Kids, I tell you! |

Gotta luv 'em!!!!!!  At least she didn't eat the wrapping!!!!!!  |
| Yes, lucky with a bigger dog.
When 10 pound Dino ate an entire solid chocolate Santa, he got the trip into the vet as well. After doing the math, he didn't consume a fatal dose. But, he did get enough to have cardiac issues (tachycardia) and be super stimulated . He went home with us (helps to have a nurse in the house for monitoring) and got put in his crate, covered to reduce stimuli. He made it through fine. He must be a cat - with 9 lives. he is the same one who broke his leg as a puppy, and also almost died from a blood clot after he ate a poisoned mouse......  |
So true!! Kids 
My dalmo is a terrible surfer and steals everything and anything, Tiggy eats technology (mobile phones, memory keys etc) and the siamese cat is obsessed with eating plastic bags (apparently eating weird stuff is a siamese trait) Everything has to be unpacked or put away as soon as we get home or the dogs eat the purchases and the cat eats the wrappings. We're pretty good at remembering now but having visitors throws a spanner in the works. 
I think our vet is just waiting for the emergency obstructed gut surgery.  |
| Happy that all turned out ok |
Glad all is well! Yep--kids!  |
| Awww....the pleasures of counter surfers!
Glad they are fine! Geesh, I have had to really retrain myself with two young, deaf oes in the house! |
| I only have one counter surfer - and because I never let he rin the kitchen unsupervised when I am fixing meals it isn't an issue. Fast forward to Saturday night - we came back form the fireworks and let the dogs out of crates adn pans etc - I turned my back for a moment to pet Morgan - who had been left "in charge" and out and about for the 5 hours we were gone and had a full report of the activities to give me I turn back arpund and there is a furry little man in a clown suit (I don't know why but seeing Marley standing on her hind legs always gives me that mental picture) standing at the stove eating piound cake slices out of the box on the stove!!
I decided discretion was the better part of valor and didn't tell Dan when I served him his desert |
My girl was really bad about getting "items" on the counter until her "last" incident. We were on vacation last year and our son was "watching the girls" (and OES and German Shep.). He put is hat on the counter with his wallet and poison ivy cream in the hat. Welllll my sheepie girl just knew there was something in that hat for her so down it came......chewed the wallet, ate his license, credit card, social security card, his last $5.00 and the tube of poison ivy cream. He calls me being between frantic and really po'd about the ordeal and worried about the cream she injested. Well off to the vet she goes where she promptly had to be x-rayed (you could see the $5.00 bill) and monitored due to the cream she ate. By the time I got home the next day and picked her up she was just glad to be going home with mommy. She has never touched anything on the counter again. Tough lesson but she did learn from it.  |
| Oh boy! Annie is notorious for counter, table, bag surfing. Guess you learned quickly with this guy. Make sure to keep everything and I mean EVERYTHING up in cabinets, inside microwaves, in the fridge... |
