It`s sort of nice to know there is more than one or two other nawtee-dawgs like Bob who own humans here on Pet Talk!
Pam wrote....I can't count how many times I have struck this pose - bent over, hand in dog mouth trying to fish something out! If I had $1.00 for each time this has happened I would be quite a wealthy person right now! LOL!........She also loves to destroy the plastic squeekers inside her toys. In fact I do believe she thinks it is a timed event to see how fast she can chew through the toy to get to the squeeker. Fortunately she doesn't swallow the squeekers but just gnaws on them a bit.
Yeah, Pam, we would be rich wouldn`t we! I can relate to the experience of squeeker toy destruction too, except that Bob did eat the squeekers! He`s only allowed Kong toys now!
Cookiebaker wrote .......Malone, too, knows all too well what the peroxide does and turns into a demon dog at the sight of the bottle. So we have to be very discreet and fool him into it, and everytime it gets a little bit harder.
Anna, I`ve been thinking about that. What I think I will try with Bob, and maybe it work for you too, is to every week or so, give him a syringe filled with milk, or some other drink he likes, so that he will associate it with something nice. Just a thought.....maybe a dumb one but a thought nevertheless!
shais mom wrote You can also give them a tsp or 2 of Salt. That is what I have used on Keegan.
Staci, that sounds even better! Does it work as good? I think I tried it once a long time ago but I can`t remember how it turned out.
marymerrycats wrote .....of course I am not saying that your dog is an idiot, just that from the cats point of view, about dogs...
Well, Mary, the cats view could be right, he has to be an idiot dog to be eating the stuff he does!
gini wrote After you get them to "bring it up", I love the way they wag their tails and say "what else do you have?"
Yeah, gini, another reason for to agree with the cats point of view!
Rachel wrote........ For some reason the upchuck solution never occurred to me for swallowing foreign objects. I just thought they would have to work their way through. DUH!
Rachel, no DUH!, it does most of the time. I don`t always dose Bob, it is just sometimes I feel it is better to be safe than sorry with some of the stuff he swallows.
Logan wrote Oh Chris, I'm sorry I'm laughing............but I'm only doing it because I know Bob is ok now.
Logan, don`t be sorry, I was laughing too... later on! I don`t think I would be laughing if I had to clean up what you had to, I am sure that would make me feel ill for days! I am also glad I keep my cat Ebbs indoors, I know I wouldn`t be able to cope with bird kill either!
bnormal wrote A few years back Callihan destroyed one of my television remotes. A week later my wife was out in the back yard cleaning up the "waste" when she saw a "AA" battery laying in a section of the "waste"... Callihan was caged during the day soon after that!
bnormal, I just love that Callihan Dog of the Day pic, he is sooo gorgeous! And, by the way, how is Mitchell doing?

Thanks for all your responses Pet Talkers! Just to update you, Bob has not eaten any foriegn objects today!
