Don't You Hate It When That Happens?

When our older children were growing up, we had a big black standard poodle named Bear.  One day my young son came to tell me that Bear had had an accident in the house.  He said, "Come quick and look, Mom, Bear has colorful poop."  Puzzled, I came to see what he meant.  Sure enough, the dog had eaten an entire box of crayons!

I would have liked to have seen that, Janet.

Haha. That's too funny. Good thing crayons are non-toxic!

Another reason for leaving dry bread or crackers out for them to steal.

Speaking of pets who steal, we used to have some dogs and cats who were very picky eaters and just refused to eat much of the time. So, we would put their food out on a plate on the table and go away and let them "steal" it! Then they would eat more. And we would tell the dog, "Kitty is going to get your food!" and he would gobble down his food so the cat couldn't have it!

Been there, done that, ha ha. Sometimes it just amazes me........
Lucky none of ours are like that today.
Thanks for the smile.

That is just too funny. We have not had anything like that yet in this house, but I imagine the time will come. :)

A friend's dog stole and ate an entire loaf of bread dough that had been left out to rise. It meant an immediate vet visit (all that expanding dough has to go somewhere in a hurry, and that creates a very dangerous situation) but the upshot was the car ride to the vet...

As the dough rose and expanded, as it will do in a warm place (and it is WARM inside of a dog's belly) the dog let out fart after fart... apparently the best-smelling farts EVER... the smell of yeast and bread. The whole car smelled like a bakery, she said later.

(And, yes, the dog needed emergency surgery but was OK in the end.)

That dog must have been VERY uncomfortable until the vet helped it out of its bad situation. One time when I was making yeast bread, I forgot and licked off my finger. Well, that was an uncomfortable experience to say the least. I had gas going both ways for days and felt like my stomach was going to blow up! I'll never make that mistake again!

Aren't you glad they make nontoxic crayons! My little dog eats strange things too. They can be a riot sometimes.
