Hey Cinder...forget to 'splain bout the "multiple foreign objects" thing...As mom puts it, my breed is "genetically predisposed to the ingestion of all things of this earth, regardless of their chemical composition or potentially detremental effects to my anatomy!" Phew, that's a mouthful!! specially as a pup...man, I couldn't keep anything outta my mouth and sometimes, well, "down the hatch" as they say! Just didn't wanna give it up....and of course, I'm a hunter by nature so everything movin's fair game. Me and the group live by the ocean so lots a sand, crunchie things to munch on like crabs and snails and of course my all time fave, rolling on dead things, specially seagulls and rotting fish. After all that hard work, of course a quick snack is in order. Mom walks away fast yellin oooooooh no!!! and looks like she's gonna upchuck. Gotta give her credit tho. She still let's me kiss her on the mouth. So there you have it... hope it helps. It's not a lifestyle for everyone, but, suits me fine! Poor mom though, she says I'll never grow outa my terrible twos. See, I just want to retrieve everything, and lots atimes they just taste good goin down! Catcha later....Star
