Plastic update: he also ate THIS! p.3

[Cinder & Smoke]

I spent quite some time scrutinizing doggie poops after that
(my neighbors probably thought I was a little funny in the head
as I would take a stick and sort of disect it.....TMI LOL!).

It was COLD outside when I had to do the Two-Dawg "poop check" for chickin bonez

After freezing my butt off *finding* (with a flashlight) and *sticking* mid-night poohs ...
I discovered the "magic of the baggie"!
* Turn a baggie inside out
* Use it like a poop-scoop bag - your hand INside the baggie
* RE-Turn the baggie outside in - (poop IN, hand out) - **Zip** the baggie!!
* retire to the warmth of the garage
* gently *kneed* the bagged stuff ... looking & feeling for the sought-after "prize"

No MUSS, No Phuss, No STINK, easy disposal!

Talk about "TMI"

oh the joys of dog ownership!!! been there and done that!!!

All that experience at the dogpark with poop bags is paying off. I nabbed his morning deposit and brought it in to thaw. Poking around was very productive...
several bits of blue plastic (the feeding scoop),
some bits of plastic of indetermined color (not sure what its from),
a piece of foil (the Yummie Chummie package perhaps?)
and one that threw me for a loop -
a green vinyl star about 1/2 " across! I have no idea what that came from .
Sherman got some more high fiber this morning. I'm still a bit worried about the big chunk coming through, but things look promising. At least the "traffic" is moving!

*thanks for the baggie tip Phred, the smell is pretty obnoxious.

well atleast you are finding things, that is a good sign that things are working their way out!!

Silly Sherman and POOR PAT! Searching for stuff in poo is NOT fun, been there done that! Hope everything passes well.

I'm glad to hear that things seem to me 'moving right along' so to speak

We had a husky/wolf mix when i was a lot younger (about 7 years old), and being the little s**t that i was, i was teasing him with a balloon - blowing it up and making it squeak at him - until i lost the grip on it, and it went zipping around the kitchen. *snap* right down the dog. Man, I was in such trouble

My mom frantically called the vet, who gave her some advice about feeding, and if the dog started having issues to bring him in to see them.

So, for the next few days we were dilligent on the poop-patrol, checking for the balloon to make its way out. And, a couple mornings later we came across the most disgusting surprise ... a half blown up balloon attached to a rather large dog offering.

And i guess, alls well that ends well in 'the end'

Well Sherman, all I can say is "marshall "up the reserves! Your Mom is being very put upon having to check presents from you!.

Goofball says she isn't going to be your valentine if you don't treat your Mommy nice and give up all the "nicked treasures" .

Pat, I am glad to hear that things are moving along for you, how is feeling otherwise? I really am trying not to giggle but if it makes you feel better we followed Goofy for nearly 4 days, she had eaten a small vial of glitter glue , needless to say her presents were quite festive! She did eventually pass the top portion a few days later.

Gotta love the furkids!

Phred this is a great idea! My only thought was that for this type of *operation* I would be sure to use the very best (brings to mind a Hallmark commercial). In other words, a Glad baggie or something reliable like that - no dollar store baggies that might *fail* for that job!

Pat, I am glad you are finding pieces of plastic. We will keep our fingers crossed that Sherman's plumbing keeps moving things right along. I am now thinking that, with all of the other things that you have found, we all might be in for a surprise if we did sporadic poop exams!

[anna_66]

Pat I'm very glad to hear that the "presents" are coming out fine...
boy I'm so glad I'm not your right now

This gives a whole new meaning to "scavenger" hunt..............

I just hope Sherman is alright - (and you are too!)

A green vinyl star indeed - it's a little late for Christmas - how about a red heart instead?

[cassiesmom]

Sherman! Such a time you've had Please don't eat things your mom hasn't picked out for you. I want to see your sweet face on my monitor for a long, long time. Ask your mom to please give you and Star a great, big hug for me.

[cyber-sibes]

Ask your mom to please give you and Star a great, big hug for me.

OK, hugs are delivered! Well, I've kept up his high fiber diet, still getting lots of little chunks of plastic. I'm hoping this is a good sign that maybe he didn't swallow down any large chunks. He certainly seems energetic and his appetitie is as big as ever...just don't want him helping himself to any more treats Our unusual "scavenger hunt" will continue for a few more days...
Does he look guilty or what?

[Daisy and Delilah]

Awwwwwww!!! He does look like the cat that ate the canary You're adorable sweetie!! It sounds like the plastic is pretty well in small pieces and all may be well. I sure hope so!
