    At first I thought a bath plug then "prong" made me think electrical.

    Oh Stanley! So I guess you have some appliance round the house that is missing some of its plug? Hopefully you’ll find it and from that work out how much of it he’s eaten. I do wonder what goes on in their heads when they eat stuff like that. The Pig ate a firework once, luckily it was a spent one :eek:

    One of those metal bits is what has appeared!

    Nothing else has. But as he ate it outside on OH's watch :mad: I don't know whether to expect anything else or if that's all there was. I don't think he's eaten it on purpose because he doesn't eat stuff like that. In his sick and poo's there was leaves so I think he's eaten something in the leaves and it's been in there. Which makes me hope it was just that little bit. He still seems completely normal though so I'm hoping that's all there was :(

    I’m not sure what is more bizarre - eating an electrical plug on purpose or eating an electrical plug by accident.

    Stanley, you are giving Tatze a run for her money here in the “Consumer Of Inappropriate Goods” stakes.

    Oh, hope he's doing OK now. I too had thought it was a relativly harmless bit of a rubber plug. The metal version is more worrisome! :(

    Nothing else is appearing and we've had no more sick. So just really hoping it was just that small part.

    One of the most stressful parts of having a lab this eating part!!

    Bailey could have a three course meal on some walks. Our best on one walk was as a whole piece of toast, an almost whole apple and finally part of an Ice Cream! He didn’t get to keep his prizes though and I spent much longer than I like fossicking in his slobbery mouth!:confused:

    Yes but even when I'm not with the dogs I'm very aware of stuff on the floor or stuff I think they might like to acquire. I looked down one day and Rory was happily walking along with a babies dummy/pacifier in his mouth. He got it in the right way too just walking along sucking away and I didn't even see him pick it up.

    This has really tickled me, I can just imagine it :D - I know it's not funny all this random rubbish our dogs pick up (and with Ripple I can say I REALLY do know), but the image of walking along sucking a baby's dummy made me laugh. Just what I could do with as I'm still fighting this horrible cold and feeling pretty rough.
