    Naughty Tatze! Not a day goes by where I am barking "drop it" to Lola cause she has something she shouldn't. Just last week batman lost and arm and the furby lost both ears! She also licks suncream off my son ::)

    Any signs of tummy ache? Hope it makes an appearance soon! My lovely boy Teddy ( now sadly passed) ate my mobile phone cover and had to have it removed from his bowel at the vets.... It was intact and given back to me in a plastic bag.... Obviously it went straight in the bin!

    Trash can Otis, loves to munch, he will chew anything plastic, he excelled himself this morning, I have a lovely pair of red suede shoes, with straps that criss cross, he munched right through the strap, Im really hoping I can get them mended, he will chew anything really but dosent seem to actualy eat anything non food. The worst story I heard was of a dog munching a glass tumbler, and having to be fed a loaf of bread, to bind it and make it pass through.

    Update - no sign whatever of the lead. Tatze is still eating, drinking, pooing, playing and hoolying around totally normally.

    I can only think that she threw it up in bushes or long grass out of sight. :-\

    But I'm still watching her like a hawk for signs of illness or lethargy etc :-\ I'm just about sleeping now without imagining her barking for me every hour or so!

    I swear I never worried like this about my kids!

    It's UP!!! She threw it up today - the whole lead in one piece :eek:

    That is one week and two days since she ate it.

    She was at my friend's hoolying about all day with her best friend Zaba - which must have got it moving.

    Thank goodness, if it had tried to pass through the other way it could have been serious, I think.

    What a relief, and how scary at the same time thinking about what could have gone wrong. Tatze, don't ever do that again! :eek: :p

    Sorry, late in coming to this one. Yes, Simba has eaten seat belts, and other non-food items. The most amazing was half a rubber soccer ball sized ball, swallowed it whole, have no idea how. It came back up two days later. The worst was when I thought he had eaten a pencil sharpener, blade and all. Thankfully found the blade on the floor a couple days later....

    Glad the leash came back....I know what a worry it is. ::)

    Glad to hear the lead's reappeared - that's an amazingly long time to be inside without Tatze showing any signs of illness, isn't it? Big relief I'm sure! :)
