Re: Eating things which are not food She is a shocker !!! Waiting until you've been lulled into a false sense of security before ah-ha!!! The glove is history! Glad she's ok (apart from the vomit of course)
Re: Eating things which are not food [quote author=bbrown link=topic=6076.msg145768#msg145768 date=1424874642] She is a shocker !!! Waiting until you've been lulled into a false sense of security before ah-ha!!! The glove is history! Glad she's ok (apart from the vomit of course) [/quote] A shocker indeed! Fortunately we had finished our walk and she was back on the lead as she was keen to re-eat the lot!!
Re: Eating things which are not food Oh Tatze! I have a similar unusual item muncher. Brodick - have to watch him like a hawk too. He ate a CD a while back, after that I realised there is nothing he regards as inedible...
Re: Eating things which are not food Tatze - what a girl! Hope no more unpleasant effects, and here's to nice new gloves! You need to get them on a string through your sleeves like you do for kids Probably wouldn't stop her though!

Re: Eating things which are not food gosh, Tatze! And Brods! Charlie is a chewer but not an eater, very thankfully. He just chews it (anything and everything) up, and spits it out...
Re: Eating things which are not food The false sense of security gets you every time....I find Simba is getting to be more of a chewer than an eater as he gets older, thankfully, but I certainly don't ever assume that he WON'T eat something. He is getting a bit more choosy....certainly anything that might remotely be classified as "food" is fair game - empty candy wrappers, discarded pop cups from fast food places (probably encounter at LEAST one of those per walk :), etc. These types of things are always investigated and either carried around for awhile and then dropped, or licked and chewed but spit out, or eaten. Sigh.
Re: Eating things which are not food Whilst reading this....... A crash from the kitchen. I investigate. Molly has upended the box I keep my bits destined for the compost heap and is chewing down on melon rind.
Re: Eating things which are not food Uh oh! Saw this thread come up and thought 'what now?' Indeed....what now Tatze!Glad she has been ok and not poorly over it x
Re: Eating things which are not food Oh Tatze!!! ;D :-X Melon rinds are like gold around here in the summer!!! : The dogs, ducks, and goats all LOVE them!!!
Re: Eating things which are not food Are the rinds labrador edible then? We get through a lot in our house. Lilly LOVES her breakfast melon cubes ;D
Re: Eating things which are not food I've not ever seen a "toxic to dogs" list that includes melon rinds....and have never had any ill effects feeding them to my own dogs...often my dogs will scrape all but the outer brown skin of cantaloupe, but watermelon is eaten all the way through usually. I would just offer her a small bite and see how she does with it. I usually split these goodies between the dogs, goats, and ducks - so none get a huge amount.
Re: Eating things which are not food Hmm...will give it a try. She may well hold out for the good stuff though
Re: Eating things which are not food As you all know Rolo loves socks, especially my daughters which she wont mind me saying after a long day at school stink. Since we have had had Rolo he has probably had 10 socks 9 of which have been hers. 5 nights ago he ate my husband's thick wilson sports sock. He usually threws them back the next day in his crate overnight. 2 nights later no sock. Yesterday morning in his crate was 1 sock, hubby's, 1 sock daughters and most alarmingly a poo bag! Not his either! These dogs hey! We now have a no sock downstairs policy.
Re: Eating things which are not food Hehehe. I'm glad I have two that don't seem interested in eating these things. They like a good chew on a pair of socks, but wouldn't dream of swallowing them. I'm not sure I would manage very well with finding half digested socks around the house

That's just what Tatze used to do to leads etc. The first few were chewed up and left, but as she got older, the swallowing started. I would keep socks well away from them
