I guess you have a lab ;-) Well, my dog eats cat food for "dessert" every day, and licks up dust, etc. He's never eaten anything truly weird, but he has eaten two loaves of Christmas bread before.

 

Let's see CoCo has eaten:

1) A box of truffles and then vomited them back up on the rug (never came out)

2) A family sized bag of twizlers after he jumped on a chair then to the table and went to town. He had to go to the emergency room (spent 500 bucks for them to tell us he had to poop it out). He bloated up to twice his normal width until he farted a few times. I was very proud of him, he was louder than I ever could be.

3) Every pack of gum ever left within his reach in the car

3) A whole bag of menthol cough drops (just this week). He has been farting, burping, and crapping like crazy. His gas smells like menthol now though, much better than doggy breath!

My dog ate my baggie!!?!?!! "I had to chase the little mother f****r around for a week to get it all back" 1/2 Labrador and 1/2 maui wowie (sp)

Nope, just this little guy



This would be an example of how he gets into so much mischief, he finds a way to get wherever he wants, even though he is only a foot and a half long

My long hair Dachsund, is a bread theif.....
Im thinking he's a re-incarnated Nazi. Hes meaner than $H^t.
The pug likes remote controls. About 5 of them. The cable company loves her....
The Malamute loves eating drywall, Dont ask me, Theres thes surprise holes in the wall in the bedroom. Evidently she gets nervous. She also bites her front fingernails. Im thinking shes got some sexual disfunction...

 

My boy only likes meat. But once when he was a pup 12 years ago he ate my remote! :shock:

 

Um, would i have to have a dog to answer this?

 

My dog ate my pager once. My mom had a dog that hated being alone. She came home to find the dog pulled her miniblinds off the front window and was eating them.....:twisted:

 

Mine has not necessarily "eaten" anything, but tonight alone he has had the following in his mouth:
a pen
a receipt
a dish towel
a sock
a napkin (which he shredded and probably ate)
a toy motorcycle
an empty waterbottle
yep, he keeps me busy. I am sure I forgot other things too!

 

Our dog-child has an appetite for the soft and especially fluffy.

No sock in our household is safe - we have, more than once, pooper-scooped what was basically a compressed, poop-shaped white sock off the back lawn. Discarded paper towels amount to quick and (apparently) tasty snacks. We cannot buy him the soft vinyl squeeky toys because they will be consumed in five minutes.

We thought we had broken him of the habit of eating real towels, but, noooooooo. It was only three months ago that I had to rescue his severe constipation by donning a pair of surgical gloves and [too much information follows] assist him by gently pulling a two-foot towel shard out of... well... you know.

Ewwwww. :shock:

 

Mike, your a real pooper trooper. :grin:

 

This knothead:

http://groups.msn.com/BicyclingForumPicPost/virtualbikeride.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=11215

is currently walking around with a porcupine quill stuck in her tongue....

 

an empty waterbottle

CoCo LOVES water bottles. I think it is a game for him, we give him old empty ones and he goes nuts. He runs around the house with it hanging out of his mouth and then chews the cap off. Once the cap is off, he doesn't like it anymore and just leaves it lying in the middle of the floor.

 

DD's Westie will snag anything that is accidentially dropped and run with it to what DD and I named "the lair" under the bed. Her favorite's are plastic bottle caps. Although socks, combs, empty plastic pop or water bottles, tissues, napkins, paper towels, leash, all chewed, have been discovered there. She only eats something IF you try to take it away from her. If left alone she chews on it a while then tires of it.
Lair has to be cleared out only when Westie is otherwise distracted or she becomes mini white Cujo.

 

Keisha had "eaten"

-a couch cushion
-another couch cushion
-the faces off of all her brother's toys.
-a full bag of hershey kisses (she had seizures, and we couldn't figure out why until she started pooping foil)
-my wife's shoes.

she has simply retrieved
-a huge flashlight/worklight
-my heavy winter workboots.
-the beagle (by the scruff of her neck, but otherwise unharmed)

 

Oh . . . and she has also eaten a plastic drinking cup (not a cheap Solo cup, but a hard plastic cup) and a family heirloom persian rug. My dad is pretty mad about that one.

 

It must be a dachshund thing to find food ANYWHERE...

Ours has eaten:

A whole stick of butter off the table. Someone left a chair pushed back and that was his path to the table top. It didn't stay down -- we found the aftermath and were wondering what he got into and then found the chewed butter tray.

A bowl of candy corn at halloween. That also didn't stay down. Orange, candy-corn smelling puke.

Half of a large "world's greatest Belgian chocolate" bar. Our first experience with dosing with H2O2 to induce vomiting. After he barfed it all up he wanted the other half of the bar.

He got into the Meow Mix at my parents house and it made him sick for a week. Now we have to make sure it's moved off the floor when were visiting.

My wife caught him munching on a bannana in the fruit bowl on the table.

4 Krispy Kremes. We went through the drive thru and got a dozen. While in the drive-thru out daughter woke up and wanted a hot "sample" so we parked the car and went in for about 5 minutes. When we came back out it was "Were's Rudy?" Opened the back and found him with half a donut in his mouth, like "They were so good, I couldn't stop". Somehow he pawed the box open without so much as a tear and gingerly picked out the ones he ate. The rest of the box looked untouched. His stomach was not happy that day.

Any kleenex is fair game. He poops kleenex turds. Niiice.

Any underwear is licked to death. He doesn't chew, thankfully, but licks things incessently.

He knocked a laptop off the top of a tupperware container on the coffee table and opened the container and ate a half a pan of mint brownies.

We constantly have to ask visitors -- "do you have any food in your luggage". Because if they leave it on the floor, he'll smell it and get into it before you know it.

 

cap to laundry detergent bottle
entertainment center
the crotch of my pajama pants
lufa
shower curtain
I have one of those really warm russian hats made out of rabbit hare (she ate it)
chewed a hole in my sheets, while they were on my bed
tube of toothpaste

Thank god her puppy years are behind her

 

One day while while changing the oil on my old car, B.E. (before Element) my big mutt Jessie was happily playing with a squeaky toy. Or so I thought. I looked over and he had a nice sized rat in his mouth that sounded exactly like a squeeze toy. He was so happy! He also enjoyed finding old cans in the trash with maggots in them for an afternoon snack. I really miss my buddy, he would have loved the E.

 

Got a Scottie who only plays with Kong balls and Fire Hose toys - anything else gets destroyed with the hour. She poos multicolored - rubber flakes and chunks go right thru. She has the largest size Jolly Ball - the one they give to horses - it has a hole in it. When I buy the toys the clerk usually asks "Rottweiler? Bull Terrier?, Doberman?" - they nearly fall over when I say "Scottie". Of course if you've ever really looked at a Scottie's mouth, you understand - that's some serious hardware on a small dog. As for other stuff, she has eaten chocolate, breakfast bars and pretty much anything edible she can get to, wrapper and all - never even a burp, she has a cast iron stomach.
We have the litter boxes in special places out of doggie access - one thru a wee cat door into a garage closet adjacent to the utility room and one in a custom "box" with a lid and a clever "maze" system at the door. We feed the cats in a spot that's too high for either dog to reach. Litter boxes are impossible for any dog to resist.
Our Standard Poodle doesn't even eat her FOOD unless we insist - no interest in other stuff but she WILL get food off the counter if the Scottie asks her too - for the Scottie to eat. The poodle is an expert counter surfer - and silent too. Both like ice cubes and cold carrots as treats. As for chewing stuff, we have a pet store full of toys (since they were little) and have never had so much as a tooth mark on our stuff. They also get Bully Sticks at least once or twice a week. No dental problems here - we encourage chewing (on the right stuff).
Both of them LOVE to carry stuff in in their mouth - the Poodle for fun - the Scottie however, is fetch obsessed. She will fetch till she falls over.
Our house probably isn't kid-proof, but I can guarantee it's pet proof - and it certainly makes for a clean dining room, kitchen and family room. You learn pretty fast that if the food is cleaned up the dogs stay out of trouble. Works for all of us.

 

One of my labs chewed right through a plastic dog house when she was a puppy. She soon graduated to food, and the rest of our stuff is safe. She ate a whole pack or oreo’s, a bag of Hershey’s Kisses, a mango bone (x-rays could not find it, but we did find it in the backyard months later), has gotten into the dog food several times and eaten till she could no more. Manages to find “unused” treats in our pockets and eats them without destroying any of our clothing. My favorite, however, was the thanksgiving she managed to take a pumpkin pie off the kitchen table, lower it to the floor, and eat it all without making a sound (we were right next to the kitchen and never heard a thing).

When our other lab was a puppy, she destroyed a brand new pair of running shoes and one of my leather shoes. She has been an angel ever since.

Our border collie mix has anxiety issues and has destroyed a garden hose, futon mattress, several futon covers, several throw pillows, and chewed the corners of a brand new chair. He also ate a whole loaf of bread while it was cooling on the kitchen counter, and tried eating an onion but decided he did not want onion breath. Needless to say, we put him in his crate whenever we go somewhere and keep putting off buying a new couch (which we desperately need).

Nope but he would if he could

CoCo LOVES bananas they are his fav thing to steal

All the time

Any underwear is licked to death. He doesn't chew, thankfully, but licks things incessently. Gotta lock the laundry room door if CoCo is around

Yeah

Seriously, do we share a dog and not even know it?! I am conviced that Coco has 20 lives and he has used about 19 of them. I can't even count how many times he could have eaten himself to death.

 

My standard poodles -
Malcolm: Someone else's vomit
Chloe: My husband's face

Here are the stories:

Malcolm - we live in a neighborhood with several bars. My husband took Malcolm out for a walk early one morning while it was still dark. M was just a puppy and he wasn't too great on the leash yet. He also likes to munch on garbage - particularly paper - that he finds on his walks. M had stopped and was eating something; my husband tugged him to come but M didn't; my husband actually put his hand in his mouth expecting to pull out some big wad of paper, but nothing was there. On they walked... and on the way home, the sun now up, my husband saw that there was no paper in the area, but there was a pile of vomit. He was very grossed out & washed his hands excessively when he got home.

Chloe - was on her way into our house from our car - a distance of maybe 20 feet. It was dark & just as she reached the porch she turned and ran - we think after a rabbit. At that moment a truck started up our street - this is the worst thing I've experienced - and Chloe hit the truck (not vice versa. She dented the side of it). She let out a sound that I can't rememeber & my husband says he'll never forget (love those endorphins and traumatic memory). It brought out half the neighborhood. We were right there, one step behind her. My husband got to her first & she, in her fright, pain and confusion, bit him in the face. On the eye, to be exact.

The good news is that she's OK (had a dislocated hip that required surgery & extensive bruising... nothing that $6000 couldn't fix - YIKES), and so is my husband (9 stitches on and around the eyelid and extensive bruising). They both had very close calls with being permanently damaged, but both weren't.

Chloe also gulps down cicadas when they're in season - and has promplty puked them up all over our sofas. She has also killed a snake by biting it (and then puked shortly thereafter).

 

Also -

Malcolm LOVES imported cheeses (as do we) - I've lost a 1/2 pound wedge of bleu cheese to him in under 2 minutes. Also has a penchant for Asiago, Parmasean Reggiano, Manchengo and Brie. You can set out grocery-store brand cheddar and some other import and that dog will leave the grocery-store stuff behind.

He has stolen grilled lamb burgers from the counter to share with his sister - they got through 3 before I busted them.

I also busted him licking a gully right in the middle of a stick of butter after Thanksgiving - and he now can sense my thoughts about butter when I cook and show up in hopes of getting some.

The two of them have also stolen bruschetta from the counter and finished it. We've learned it's best to have them where they can be seen while we are eating.

 

Mike -- yours is the most beautiful Dalmation I have EVER seen! In fact, I've never seen one like yours -- a nearly spotless muzzle but for the eyes. Stunning! I'm so used to seeing my Samoyed, Gidget's, white eyelashes and thinking how striking she is. Beautiful pup you have.

I have a Beagle named Scout. Now this is far from the strangest thing but the most comical. She once ate a couch cushion from the “Dog” couch. I was home sick for a week with the Chicken Pox at the age of 31, quite possibly the worst week of my life. I was in and out of consciousness and I think I lost about 10 pounds in that week alone. I had dangerous fevers and the itching was terrible.

Anyway one afternoon I dreamt that I saw my dog eating a foam cushion. As it turns out I was simply semi conscience and she was actually eating a cushion, right in front of me! The little bugger didn’t even care that I was two feet from her. When I finally woke up enough to yell something at her she just looked at me like I was nuts. Stupid Beagle. Oh and she LOVES cat poop. It’s like a delicacy for her. Then she tells other dogs at parties; “Have you tried the Cat Poop? No? You must try the cat poop.” She really quite a hostess.
