When I was 16 my Yorkie somehow got to quite a high shelf and devoured a whole Terry's Chocolate Orange :eek::eek:. I'll never forget the strangely floral smell when I opened the front door. She was OK, I hasten to add, but went off chocolate ;)

The cat, in the meantime, swallowed a strand of lametta off the Christmas tree which only came to my attention, er, on its way out. And it took its time!

My JRT ate a whole chocolate orange as well - that was a trip to the vet as I realised very quickly. They would not believe she could have eaten it all until it came back up again! It was a very expensive chocolate orange in the end.

We have retrieved (or pulled out) several shiney pieces of tinsel from her backside too :o
 
My miniature poodle, has eaten: a whole double level box of thorntons chocolates, with no ill effects.
and half of a christmas turkey, it was nicely cooked, stood on the open oven door, she jumped onto a bar stool, climbed onto the work top, ran across it to the oven and ate half of the turkey, she then wiped her face all over our cream leather sofas and fell asleep happily snoring with her massive belly sticking up, needless to say, we were not impressed!! :mad:

We were talking about this in the pub the other night, lol.

I shouldn't laugh but I do, at first we heard a rustling bag in the kitchen, thought what has the bugger got. It was infact projectile poo up my cupboard. :) :) He then went flying out door into the garden lol. He was just toilet trained at this point so was probably mortified.
 
The family guinea pig :o

Mum tried to convince me that she was laying next to it's mauled carcass because she had obviously found her like that and wanted to "protect her" :rolleyes:

It didn't bode well.
 
A sofa. My hubby asked the vet when he took him to check he was OK what could we do to prevent him doing it and he said put cayenne pepper on the remaining bits. Husband duly did this and was convinced it would work. Emmm no...he actually ate it more and it gave him a right taste for spicy stuff. Would have sold his soul for chilli sauce or a curry!! He was a lab and lived 'til he was 16...so never did him any harm!!!
Also had a pointer who was a right fussy eater but would eat money.

Never met a dog who didn't like bit's of hoof and horse poop...yuck!!
 
My 16yr lab swallowed a dish cloth whole as a pup. Vet gave us liquid parafin with a warning we might need to syringe it down her, she lapped it up out of a dish no problem :rolleyes: The dish cloth turned up a few days later the way it went down!!

Her more disgusting habit was that of continuing to clean up after her daughter for the entire 10yrs of her daughters life. We had to let them out in the garden for tomorrow breaks in strict order and never together!! :o

Her daughter also licked a hole in the carpet after a dropped bit of sauce wasn't cleaned up properly!!
 
Yesterday my dog ate £400 of new flooring i have had down less than two weeks. I was hysterical for 20 mins and said dog was in the dog house for a few hours. This morning he ate my daughters gum shield daughter not impressed. Im at a loss what to do as every dog toy i buy he goes and buries it in the garden within two minutes. He only started this while i was fostering a destroyer staff and now shes gone she left a legacy of destruction at ten months old im hoping one day he will grow out of it.

Oh my word, that's reminded me of the hamster incident! The same Yorkie managed to get his cage lid off (it was one of those Rotastak ones, God knows how she did it). I found half of him in the hallway. He was called Jerome K Jerome.

I think it most definitely does! Was it dead or alive?

We lived in Hawaii for 20 years. We had Golden Retrievers, and while they were very well behaved and never chewed our belongings, it seems each one had "a story." Our first Golden loved the sea. We lived a street and a half from the ocean and always took plastic bags on our walks. This dog loved retrieving sticks from the water. That was all well and good. However, when he came out of the water, he'd invariably squat on the sand and explosively eliminate salt water by the gallon. There is no way the plastic bags were of any use in such a situation. Fortunately, the beach was very quiet with few people about. But it was very embarrassing.

Our second Golden loved eating dog poo. We always poo picked immediately any of the dogs had eliminated. One afternoon, my son and I were sitting in the room next to the back garden. We had just cleaned the grass of any poo. Suddenly, we both noticed what looked like a piece of white cloth in said dog's mouth. In an instant we ran outside because the white stuff was, in fact, foam around his muzzle. Hawaii is the adopted home to the Bufo Marinus, otherwise known as the Cane Toad. Up until that point, we had never seen one in our garden. We always had several flood lights on when we let the dogs out at night. This incident was in broad daylight. The toads contain a gland on the backs of their heads which secrete a poison. If a dog mouths the toad, the poison causes profuse salivation and foaming. If not caught in time, the poison can cause cardiac arrhythmias and death. Our rapid response, with a garden hose washing the mucous membranes of his gums, saved his life.

One day, a third Golden was walking around the garden, neck arched, tail wagging, mouth closed. Upon further investigation of his very happy attitude, I noticed something sticking our of his mouth. There was a little bird leg protruding from his lips. I pried his mouth open, and out flew a little finch. Bless! Same dog loved catching and carrying geckos, the little lizards common in all properties in Hawaii. Most of those little critters would be noticeable by their tails hanging out of the dog's mouth. Being cold blooded, they always felt dead upon retrieving them from the retrievers' mouths. But, they too, invariably, scurried off unscathed.
 
I can't count the three pet rabbits my old girl nailed because she didn't consume them, just wanted to stop them moving. But I'll count the two pairs of tights resulting in major surgery and a near-death experience.

B retrieved half a live seagull/diver thing from the sea so I am guessing he ate the bottom half. I necked it.
 
Currently,.. previous staffie bitch. A whole packet of butter. Boy was she sick, including on top of and underneath my bed. At night. Stripped off and remade bed. Went back to bed, foul stench still around. Looked under bed. Saw another pile. Gave up and went to sleep in spare room. Flatmate "ah, she must have been feeling SO sick". shoe on other foot when flatmates new BF was coming to stay for the first time. Cue ... new bed, new bedding, someone to put new bed up as flatmate could not. Cue Staffie throwing up on bed, oh, about 10 mins before the new man arrived.

but the boy has beaten them all. And this is a dog who never chews anything. Had a revolting day at the yard a couple of weeks ago and all 3 dogs were refusing to get out and walk despite various attempts. Came home and the girls just curled up to sleep. Dog went off and making a noise. Walked into find he was ripping hell out of a sofa in my snug! so out of character. I will never, ever again, let them off their walks WHATEVER the weather and however sad they look!
 
Oh I had forgotten MIL's rabbit at the start of a family BBQ:eek: The guinea pig reminded me. I accidentally left the adjoining gate open and being an EBT he just pulled the front of the hutch off. Harry and Obi have to many items to list, but I am still upset about my lemieux half pad:(
 
My 4 month old JRT has developed a passion for cat poo. He will even sit by the litter tray whilst the cats on the loo to get it fresh! He then either eats it or carries it around and leaves it somewhere appropriate such as on my bed. I can't even relax with a cup of tea because as soon as I hear someone in the litter tray have to dive off and get there before the puppy.
 
My in laws dog ate a tube of artist oil paint without them knowing

That evening the dog was on the floor if their bedroom they heard a rumble then with a bif f*rt the dog expelled the tube and contents which hit the bedroom door and slid down taking the paint off the door as it went
 
My old lab x ate my OHs mobile and on numerous occasions had a go at emptying the freezer. One of my current jack russels managed to get over a stairgate upstairs and onto bedside table to carefully unwrap and eat a box of milk tray - only the coffee ones remained! no long term effects apart for a sticky kitchen floor. Other jack russell managed to eat the ear off a teddy bear resulting in a misdiagnosis and then a £1500 vet bill to remove it, no idea where it came from but it was clearly an ear of a teddy when removed!
