Anyone want Bob? *Update post 24.

[ChrisH]

I know what you mean about getting too old for the stress involved, when taking care of high maintenance pets!

I wonder if he has a doggie eating disorder? He's not the only doggie eating everything in sight. We had a dog, when I was a child, that would eat cigarette butts from the streets! It was horrible. The dog had horrible digestive problems for years.

sas, I just read about Miley, made my problem with Bob fade into insignificance. {{hugs}}

Guess he could have an eating disorder of some kind but he doesn't have any kind of digestive problems to go along with it, at least not as yet. Though I guess they way he is it's more than likely he may eat something someday that will cause him real problems.

Chris, I'm glad it came up and you can breath easier.
Untill next time...

Hey, I watched an episode of Emergency Vets where they had to extract one of those things from a dog who swallowed one - be glad, be very very glad, Bob upchucked it so nicely for you!

Luckily, he has always either pooped or thrown up stuff he has eaten, even if its been a week, as in the case of the green toy, or even longer .. I remember a rubber glove that took a month ... at the same time eating, drinking, pooping as normal. But it is still a big worry, there is always that 'first time' looming overhead.

i've long coveted bob, and can his cat come with us too?.....calling united, flights to the united kingdom......

Nope, can't have Ebby cat, she is such a good girl. But you're on the Bob list along with Whisk_Luva and Karen.

Oh good grief, Bob! You and our Honey are so much alike! Honey prefers to dig deep caves, rather than swallowing stuff, though. I guess there are some things that dogs like you guys never outgrow!
Chris, I feel your pain.

Thanks Logan, and I empathize with your Mack problem, I had a GSD who did such things, drove me nuts!

Thanks again to everyone for taking the time to read & reply.

Oh Bob! Stop putting things in the mouth and tummy that don't belong there!

I'm glad he's okay.

And I'll happily take him too.

*hugs*

Ah now, you know you wouldn't take anything for that boy of yours Chris

It's hard to look at Bob and believe he can be anything but sweet and cute, I would never have imagined...lol!
They all get on our last nerves sometimes, but we wouldn't trade them for the world

I was glad to see though that the green thing you showed came out the front and not the back

Be a good boy for mummy Bob! Kisses to that handsome man.

Oh and I'm sorry but I respectfully decline your offer to take him...I've got enough on my hands with my boy Bon

[ChrisH]

I've put your name on the list, Kimmy.
Aw, but Anna, you don't want him, but he and Bon could team up and make your life much more ... ummm ... fun.

[cassiesmom]

Bob ... precious guy ... please, please try not to take strange things in your mouth, okay? You might choose something that could harm you and I would not want that to happen for anything. I'm glad the goofy green toy episode has ended.

Chris, I don't know if this will help...I don't know dogs very well, and I guess some are 'just like this'. But I have heard sometimes animals will eat weird things if some little thing is missing in their diet. Could be a vitamin or some small thing.

Also - don't know if you are keen on psychics - but Nancy Efrusy is in the USA, and can tell you if there is something Bob is trying to 'say'. She's done great work for some PT folks here.

Hugs to Bob! He looks so sweet!

[ChrisH]

Thanks Catty. I don't think it's anything to do with food/vitamins but I've read a lot here on PT about Nancy and it is something to think about. Not for the eating issue, that has been around for ever, but to see how happy, or not, he is with things that have changed in his life over the last few years, sharing his home with Ebby cat for one.

LOL! Thanks any way Chris, I have all the "fun" I need

[ChrisH]

Well, one week later and he threw up the bookmark, or some of it anyway, I'm sure he ate more than appeared. No photo this time, too gross.

[Killearn Kitties]

Oh Bob.

[sasvermont]

Chris, I think you have your work cut out for you. Bob seems to have quite the appetite for things he should not have!

Bob, behave yourself. And no more bookmarks!

HANG ON!!!! That took you long enough!!!

Chris,
My darlin "innocent" Captain ate a whole sock (without me noticing), and about a day or so later, pooped it out - nice long sock-like poo ....... ewwwwww.
I am thankful everyday he managed to poop it out - but it was pretty gross.
