Hi all, This morning whilst I was upstairs getting ready to take the kids to school Nellie decided to steal a sock from the washing basket which I had left in the utility room! My eldest daughter saw her take the sock (one of the girls long school socks) and she said she had it one minute and it was gone less than a minute later! Nellie was confined to the kitchen and living room and we have searched for this sock to no avail! Do you think she could of eaten the sock in less than a minute?? She seems well enough in herself and at the moment is asleep in her crate. What signs should I be looking out for if she has eaten it?!! :-\
Re: Sockgate Oh, these Labradors are such sock monsters.... If she has eaten it (possible) you might notice absolutely nothing at all. I wouldn't worry unless her behaviour changes - signs of a problem would be not wanting to eat, walking in a slightly hunched way as if the lower back is stiff, or not pooping for a lengthy period. But I really wouldn't worry at this point. Dogs can eat some seriously whacky objects with nil effect.....
Re: Sockgate La st night Molly pinched one of my fine lacy hold ups. I chased her around the upstairs for it, when I got it back there wasn't a mark on it. Hopefully the Labrador drool will help them stay up

Re: Sockgate Thanks, I will await any signs with baited breath! She has just scoffed her lunch in fine labrador style so ok on that front!
Re: Sockgate What is it with them and socks. Mine actually pinched mine off my foot last night. Hope Nellie has just hidden it somewhere nice and safe and hasn't actually scoffed it.

Re: Sockgate Definitely could have eaten it. Simba once ate half a rubber soccer ball while being chased by my daughter (to get it away from him), it vanished while he dove between the couch and chair. Have no idea how he could have ate it so fast, but he was in full on gobble panic mode....
