Three weeks before he ate a plastic carrier bag and had to be opened up and had 25 centimetres of his bowel cut out, lucky to survive. That cost over £3,000 as it was 'out of hours' and had to go to an emergency vet.
We definitely had a good result then, sorry to hear about your friends poor little dog though 😢

We used to have an occasional Flatcoat lodger who had a fetish for J-cloths, we would always put anything chewable well out of reach before she arrived but she would invariably pass at least one J-cloth during her staycation. Her owners must have been made of money to 'lose' them at that rate (perhaps they should have tried feeding her more dog food?).

I've been lucky with mine, just one had a paper tissue fetish but wouldn't touch anything else, her poos were every so easy to pick up - they came out ready wrapped!

Back in the day people used to keep a packet of washing soda crystals in the house to make the dog vomit when they knew something like a dishcloth had been swallowed. No idea whether thats been frowned upon or not these days but its certainly cheaper than a vet.
In life, it is important to know when to stop arguing with people and simply let them be wrong.

Well all your tales makes mine antics this year less spectacular but just as expensive, as mine decided to eat customers cheques, so whilst I did not have to spend money at the vets I did not make any of it either ( Not sure dog eating revenue is tax deductible :think: ) :roll: The first cheque disappeared and I put it down to my age and probably putting the envelope into the recycling without removing the cheque :roll: . But the second one, from the same client disappeared off the desk over the weekend, that, because of her cut pad I did not leave the house and it had vanished when I went to do the paying in on Monday. She went on Santa's naughty list this year :whistle:

Seems that many pooches have a similar fetish then
