My terminally ill pooch, Barney, is still going strong (touch wood) at the moment. Last night he reached a new level re things he's eaten that have fallen on the floor that he's mistaken for food. We'd had some olives and on the way to the bin I dropped the small bowl containing the left over olive stones...........like a rat up a drain pipe, he beat me to the pile of stones and promptly started to eat one. We shouted NO but I think the thrill of the chase was too much for him to stop and he merrily chomped away at it before swallowing (I'm guessing whole) and then having a satisfied look on his face!
Before that his most memorable moment was eating the paper base from a cup cake left on someones plate on the floor.......mmmmm tasty!
Our Labrador, which was never given to such things, decided to munch her way through a birthday cake left on the kitchen table once.
She too had a nice self-satisfied look on her face afterwards. :shock:
My cat was eating one of my garden plants last night whilst I cut the grass!!
Balloons !!! Resulting in technicoloured :shock:
Or the stuffing of pillows, teddies etc
My other one shreds paper if left lying around !
we had a Burmese Python that ate next doors puppy, honest true story that :shock:
our lab is a robbing cow, and will eat cake paper with as much relish as if she were eating the cake itself.....
shes chomped her way through loads of the kids plastic toys, wooden buildng blocks (splintery poop :eek:, )the usual bumble bees, wasps, daddy long legs and flies, will eat any potato peel that drops on the floor or raw tomatoes.
The list is endless, no wonder shes like a barrel on legs
my last dog Max ( alsation X king charles spaniel ) once ate stain remover :shock: after a prompt trip to the vet we were reassured he would be fine, the dog we have now Apollo ( staffordshire bull terrier ) had a shoe fetish as a pup but only ever ate one of a pair lol.
we have a ragdoll cat, chases and eats daddy long legs... looks really sweet when i smiles at you with a leg and a wing sticking out her mouth, :scared:
My sisters dog, a mad boxer always tried eating the local cane toads (has toxic skin) when she lived in PNG. Its cost her thousands of dollars in vet fees!
My dog Basil (now no longer with me)a Beagle was partial to raw sausages. How he opened the fridge door to get them and close it behind him I will never know :lol2:
My hamster ate my sisters bra once, it fell off the wardrobe handle and onto my hammy's cage and she munched away! :giggle: She still reminds me even now!
pink x
many many moons ago:
the happy friend to a pair of male gerbils
only after some time... many pink parcels were spotted a-squirming in the corner of thier habitude.
hmmm....
anyhow... by the time they had grown some fuzz, though eyes were closed still... they were running about and thumping thier feet like mad things...
the home needed cleaning desperately after what I thought was a safe period... so out they all came, safe and sound... to be replaced in clean bedding etc.
I fear I may have been too soon and left my small on one of the sprogs too soon.
seeing the rump and tail of one of the youngsters poking from the bedding and not coming out for food... I gave it a prod of encouragement, still no movement...
so tugged the tail to draw it from its hiding...
:shock:
only the rear was there :shock:
:shock:
but mummy gerbil wasn't eating at the trough with the others... see seemed quite content already
