When I read this - I thought of this thread immediately!

RAISINVILLE TOWNSHIP, Michigan(AP) Here is a dog with expensive taste: A pit bull ate its owner's $5,000 wedding ring before being made to throw it up again. Tina Burlett had thought someone broke into her house and stole the custom-made ring. But her grandmother suspected the family dog, Missy.

X-rays showed she was right.

"I couldn't believe it," Burlett told The Monroe Evening News. "I didn't think so at the time, but it's funny now."

Missy has been caught gnawing on VCRs, electric blankets and even Burlett's diamond earring.

"I did have a dog eat a watch once," said Dr. Linda Fung of the Country Creek Animal Hospital. "Animals swallow a lot of stuff. It's not an unusual thing. We just made her throw it up."

Wedding rings? Nylons? Yuck, that sounds nasty. The folks at Sherman's kennel had a champion husky named Thor that ate jewelry. Must not have hurt him, when we met him he was going on 17 yrs. old!

Sherman seems to be off his non-food eating binge, (knock on wood)! I'll still keep checking for a few more days, but I think he's in the clear. This morning he even nudged away the cookie treat I gave him, then I watched him take it outside & bury it in the snow. I will pay more attention to leaving things around, sheesh! I'm so happy I don't have any $5000 wedding rings laying about!

This thread just reminded me of an incident long ago. My first born (michael, now a Sophomore in college) came running into our bedroom one Saturday morning some 15 years ago yelling, "Sarah ate a penny, Sarah ate a penny...". Sarah our second born was maybe 2-3 years old. I asked her if she ate a penny to which she said "NO". But her eyes betrayed her (as they always have and still do) I asked her again as she lowered her head and her eyes grew even bigger (the surest of all signs that she was guilty).

"Sarah... did you eat a penny"? No answer. So I tried a different approach, "Sarah honey... where did the penny go"? She opened her mouth and pointed into and downward.

So we called the pediatrician and they told us not to be alarmed, but that we should thoroughly check her bowel movements for the next couple of days. If we didn't find it to call back and they may have to do an Xray.

Fortunately we didn't have to wait long... the next morning we found it in her diapers. Didn't have to do much searching at all.

It was the "SHINIEST" penny I think I have ever seen.
