I purchased a second dog for our shep’s companionship while we were to be away. When I checked in with our caretaker, he said, haltingly, “You’re going to be really mad”. Seems they ate a gigantic hole from the middle of my bed. I couldn’t be angry. The two dogs couldn’t talk about their feelings… Everything turned out fine.

He ate a large hole in my leather couch and ottoman as well as three shoes. He discards the cushioning and swallows the leather. Does anyone know, could this be a deficiency in his diet? What can I do? My dog has been eating everything leather he can get his paws on. He ate a large hole in my leather couch and ottoman as well as three shoes.

I have a very lanky dog that can reach almost anything and yesterday he had a hose sprinkler nozzle in his mouth and was gladly pracing around - his prize. The dog also likes sissors - really - I suppose because my scent is on them - and he snatches them from the counter and off he runs - well he could swallow them - easily - he is a big dog. Perish the thought! It’s hard to find suitable play things for dogs that won’t or don’t hurt them in one way or the other.

She left her little Yorkies at home. Her parents came over a couple times daily to walk, feed, and play with them. Things went fine until the last day when the parents came over and one of the Yorkies was flat out and very sick. She was rushed to the ER vet hospital; surgical intervention removed several plastic wrapped pony tail holders. [The band you wrap around your own pony tail.] It seems that these pony tail holders served as toy "loops" that were tossed and the Yorkie fetched. She loved the game. Her recovery was rocky but she's now out of the woods. Needless to say this game is history. And dumb me. I spent the weekend trying to find some small toys a little Yorkie could play with safely without being able to ingest them. Finally found some and bought a couple packs. Gave them to my friend to give to her Yorkie. Just got off the phone with her - I told her to trash the new toys. They were made in China and might contain lead.

The man must have been poor, although I did not mention it at the time, because he left the skewer in and the dog died - surgery wasn't an option for him, why I do not know. I thought at the time his story was so odd - what dog would eat a sharp - metal - thingie. I guess more than one!

He needs to be watched when loose in the house and everything has to be put up above his mouth level. I need some peace of mind, so I put the muzzle on when he goes out back in the yard, but for short periods of time - he is never out for more than ten minutes. When we go for walks, the leash is kept "short" - cause he will grab anything and everything in a nano second. Ugh! But he's managed to live to be four years old - a miracle.

The vet took x-rays, and suggested they wait and she if she passed the needle. She did! She was just fine! Good grief. One of my cats loves to chew on rubber bands, scrunchies and anything with a rubbery texture. I have to be on gaurd with her. My parent’s cat tried to swallow a needle and thread.
