what has your dog eaten lately?

[Popeye the Sailor]

and we are down one parrot (saddest day ever).

Aw. 

[mbalmer]

Aw. 

That was a sad day, but it was my fault. I didn't secure the food doors properly and the bird (eclectus) was a great escape artist. So on top of feeling sad I still feel guilty. It's funny because when we are home the birds and dogs are out together and the dogs are afraid of those beaks.

i had a mutt for a while, he would eat anything.
as a puppy he ate his way out of a plastic dog crate, then ate a cell phone (the old bag style)
then he ate the presents under the christmas tree.

that was on a friday. on saturday he ate his way into a large Tupperware bin full of dog food. got himself thown outside for the day, and ate his way through the wood fence and escaped.

unfortunately, he had his dog tags already, and someone returned him.

Thats where you went wrong.  Your supposed to put him outside and take the tags off while your wife isn't around.

i have a golden retreiver, i saw her eat about a one pound pork chop (no bone) without even chewing it, deer beans are a favorite, crayons, and she even decided that we needed new carpet in our house and tore the old stuff out for us. my duck calls, a rifle stock, tried to eat a live baby squirrel, shall i continue?

Lots of goose poop - downside of living by the water.

My 160 lbs Rottie chewed his way out of his crate - his metal crate - and was half-way through the basement door when I got home.  Previously, he has eaten the entire side of a couch.  Good thing he's a big baby (he lets my niece ride on him like pony), or he would be a very dangerous dog.

When we were growing up, the family beagle would eat any food she could reach. One day she got away for a little while, and came running back home with a half-grilled steak in her mouth. Don't know which neighbor's it was, but somebody was probably plenty ticked.

Angie, my former JRT, ate her way into my golf bag and then proceeded through the course of one day to strip 47 golf balls of their plastic covers. All of my balls were just hard rubber lumps with chew marks in them.

She also ate the vast majority of a sock.I didn't know it for sure until the next day when she comes trotting back into the house dragging a pile of poop attached to an elastic string coming out of her butt.

[laugh]HAHA

Wow.  Compared to you all, my dogs have been extremely well behaved.

Cat poop has to be the favorite though. It's like Almond Roca for dogs.

My lab/pit mix LOVES cat shit!  Sick bastard.

My two dogs are pretty good. The Great Dane counter surfs...we got her when she was 3 and she knows not to, but if we're not around... . The lab/pit on the other hand will sit next to a plate of food on our low coffee table and not eat it...she'll leave a huge puddle of drool though. 

Anyway, the Dane has gotten a full tube of soft treats (1 lb), a bag of tortillas, a few cans of bacon grease I left to cool and forgot, 1/2 of a pork tenderloin (while we were in the living room  ), and a mango. The lab probably eats the things the Dane won't, like the Mango, afetr she gets it down for her...but I think the Dane does most of the damage. 

Other than a couple pairs of flip flops and the ocassional hole in the back yard, neither has destroyed anything though. 2 walks a day and frequent trips to the park help with that.

My neighbor's golden ate a whole pile of very hot jalapeno peppers off the counter - didn't seem to bother him at all 

[lauramonster]

Sister in law asked us to come over and help clear out her garden at the end of the season.  She tols us the jalapenos were too hot to eat - and they turned orange!!!  One look and we knew we hit Nirvana!!!  Habaneros.  Fresh grown Habaneros ripe!!! 

Bo (Jack Russell Terrier) is looking for us to throw us one of the 'little orange balls' for him to play.  He peeled tennis balls, chewed kitchen chairs, and could bark while jumping 3 feet into the air.  Hubby tosses him a bright orange habanero and bo loved the game.  He gets the pepper into his mouth, chomps it a couple of times and promptly drops it.  Sister in law says 'he's smart'.  Dunderhead sees another (the same) little orange ball and promptly chomps on it a couple of times before spitting it out.  He did this a dozen or so times before we have to leave - our ribs are killing us from laughing so hard!!!

Cat poop has to be the favorite though. It's like Almond Roca for dogs.

We no longer have a cat (no he didn't eat the cat but I know he wanted a piece of him), I used to hate it when he had cat litter stuck in his teeth.

Well it sounds like we're actually pretty lucky.  He's really only ruined one pair of sneakers.  I wouldn't even call them ruined.  He's never destroyed our furniture.  The only damage he's done to the house was vomiting on our rugs.

I'm glad I posted.  It's good to see we're not the only ones with a dog whose appetite overwhelms any logic he may have. 

I like to joke about not having to kennel him when we're away.  I'm just going to leave him in a room I don't mind him pooping in.  I only have to feed him one good meal before we go.  He eventually will poop himself his next meal.  I have discovered the first perpetual machine.

My dog's been eating the same food from Proplan for the last 17 years.
