Eating habits

I can top the odd eaten objects list. My Golden, Alex, got hold of a window candle at Christmas. He ate the entire cord, left the candle and the plug. We had to feed him mashed potatoes with gravy and cotton balls for a week. He also at candles, soap, a door jamb, 2 window sills, half a step, and an 1899 copy of Heidi. The book was on a high mantle, behind a wood stove. Still can't figure out how he got that down. Anyway, no matter how many toys I bought him, he didn't stop until I got a second Golden to keep him company.

My Labrador cross loves eating things. I used to put her biscuits in a plasic bag under my bed so she wouldn't find them, but she did find them and she ate the plastic bag. She had to go to the vets to get it taken out of her stomach. It was very small so she survived! When she was just a pup I remember I had been reading a book and I left it on the couch to go and cook dinner and when I got back I found my book on the floor and I saw her over in the corner with a half-chewed bookmark in her mouth. She had eaten some of it so I called my next door neighbor who is an expert on dogs and she said that my dog would be fine. Dogs often eat things that they shouldn't. With most things they'll be fine but some things could kill your dog!

My beagle used to eat the rope pull toys that we bought for her, so we had to switch to rubber toys! She's older now and may have abit more common sense, but we haven't tried any more rope toys yet!
