SHERMAN!!!

This is not April Fools! And if you eat the taxes how will you get new toys?!
Not to mention that if you dont like the sitter it is customary to play hide and seek and lock her out (yes my kids have done that) not EAT HER PAY!!


If this is totally new behaviour , and it is just a thought... I had a Rottie years ago that would chew weird stuff when she was having tooth issues. She wasn't normally a chewer either, and after a few trips to find stuff stuck, bits of grass and twig in her molars, we figured out that when the weird chew stuff happened it was time for a dental.

Just a thought.

Sherman, honey, I'm sure my niece (who is in 9th grade) would be very happy if you'd like to nibble on her homework! Seriously, though, making paper a snack might be not such a good idea. I know your Mom gives you healthy food and treats so please eat those instead, okay honey? Because I think you and Star are beautiful and I want you staying that way for a LONG TIME.

I'll send him right over! He may not go into a rubber room, but he's going get his furry butt kicked back outdoors if this keeps up! More plastic pieces surfacing today, got any ideas how long it takes to clear out a digestive tract?
He was at the vets a couple months ago for a check up, and I don't see anything going on with his teeth. I think he got bored - I was gone for 7 days, no lengthy runs at the dogpark. Maybe he deceided to break a few rules and test out a few "off limits" goodies, and now it's a bad habit. Little bugger ate my chapstick today. In spite of the sub-zero weather, I took them out to the park the past couple days. Not that they mind the frigid temps, oh no, they laid on the snow at the park after racing around & around & around.
I'll keep checking for foreign objects.

Sherman you naughty guy!!

What does Star think of all of his Shennigans?
I remember what Sherman "thought" of Star's tangle with the
skunk and how she had to be de-skunked. LOL

[cyber-sibes]

Star is pretty nonchalant.
"Hey - don't look at me, I just chew on squeekies! Now whose the 'good dog', huh, Mr. Goodie-four paws?"
(Photobucket seems to be having issues this morning, I'll just upload her pics)

Star probably thinks little brothers are a big pain sometimes. It does
sound like boredom set in when you were away. As I've said before, gosh
I wish we lived closer to Findlay park so my pups go burn off some energy.
It must be so nice to go daily if you want to.

I am glad Sherman didn't chew up something like a tax refund check.

I had my Lilly at the vet, yesterday, because she started throwing up on Sunday afternoon and it was constant through the night on Sunday night. Dr. Robinson gave her an injection to calm the tummy and also gave her a big dose of Barium, in case he needed to x-ray her for a blockage today. thankfully, the throwing up has stopped. But, my reason for posting is that he told me that he had operated on a Lab (I think it was a Lab), just yesterday, and pulled out two socks and a pair of ladies underwear!!! You are wise to be cautious with Sherman. Hope everything will be fine.

A couple years ago we operated on a lab whos owner said the dog is always getting into his dirty laundry on the floor. (why the owner keeps putting his laundry on the floor when he knows the dog eats it, is beyond me). Anyways the dog had been vomiting, and not eating. We did barium & x-rays and showed something blocking the intestines. Once we opened the dog up, we removed a perfectly INTACT KNEE HIGH tube sock!! Unfortunately the owners had waited a bit before bringing the dog in, so we also had to remove a small section of intestine. Dog recovered just fine, and I think after the bill, rechecks, and trouble, the owner may be picking up his dirty clothes now. lol
