He ate crayons and had some very colorful poop! He also, ate yarn, socks and underwear. Doll clothes were one of his favorties.

cat and coffee grounds

My cat loves to eat coffee grounds if the lid is loose on the coffee can he will push it off and try to eat straight out of the can I keep the lid on tight.

everything

My half-Rottie ate: part of my sofa, parts of 3 expensive art books, a jar of sea salt, a jar of coconut oil, a bottle of prozac, (and everything else I left on the kitchen counter), 2 extension cords, pounds of cat poop, and the inside of my car door, before I found a new home for him.

Christmas Time

My dog is so crazy, one Christmas she decided to eat a few decorations. I couldn't figure out what happened to them, until later that day when she puked it up...gross. I had a nice mess to clean up. Hopefully she learned her lesson, she hasn't done it since, thank goodness.

A dog named Corpral

As a young dog, "Corp", so named because his master was a marine stationed at the Virgina base. He chewed up and swallowed many tv and radio glass tubes and also an entire package of Gillett razor blades, all in one afternoon while he was home alone. He was fine and went on to live to the ripe old age of 14 years. He also loved beer..... He was part Boxer and part German Shepard. EDITOR'S NOTE: alcohol is toxic and possibly lethal to pets. Please keep out of reach.

Grateful Dead

Many years ago, our dog ate a Jerry Garcia Grateful Dead tape. I came home & he had a piece of cassette tape hanging out of his mouth. I tried to pull it, thinking it was stuck between his teeth, but his whole body came with it. I took him to the vets where he underwent surgery to remove each piece of tape that he had entwined around his insides. The doctor said he had to make many, many incisions to get each piece of the tape out. The dog, Moose, turned out just fine. I never did like the Grateful Dead.

Worst things a dog has eaten

I had a dental bridge and some teeth removed which were in the plastic cup from the dentist's office. I went out for the evening and when I returned home, the cup was tipped over. The teeth were missing but the bridge was still there. I looked all over for the teeth, but couldn't find them.

Safe Sex?

My buddy had a sweet natured pitbull named Sid that we all loved very much. His roommate told me that he caught the dog eating his masters used condoms out of the trash. Do I win?
