for anyone who has or has had a dog who will eat anything!

OMG! This was hilarious! It's so enjoyable when it happens to someone else (my Jack Russell is a kitchen dispose-all).

My sister has a story of her pup, a sheltie, who would eat ANYTHING. One day she looks over and sees something hanging out of her backside. It's a string. Yes, the pup had eaten a tampon and it was working its way, undigested, through the system! UGG!!!

Worst I've had, out the backside of my dog, was long pieces of grass/weeds. Couldn't imagine a tampon!!

had a dog that ate a bar of soap when we were camping. she also loved sticks of butter and loaves of bread.

Of course, one of my favorite stories with her doesn't involve food. She was in the tent trailer with us. (She is a golden retriever). Unlike most dogs, she doesn't launch into a barking frenzy right away when something happens. she watches (or in this case, listens carefully). She waited until it was obviously coming in to invade our campsite and barked, loud and hard and mean. The nasty odor of a skunk began wafting towards us, and several groans and moans filled the trailor.

The best part? the next morning, we found a perfect circle on the ground where the skunk sprayed. he was so scared, he never had a chance to lift his tail! he peed his pants! I bet you that skunk thought twice before scavenging a campsite

My avatar is my sweet 92lb bouvier. She burps every night after dinner. Usually in my face. I think (I hope) it's a "thank you".

As for eating inappropriate stuff, whooo boy she's got that covered. One day she snuck upstairs and raided the bathroom garbage. She ate 4 disposable razors. I only know that because the NEXT day the (now fired) babysitter who was there at the time told me "by the way cocoa got into the garbage". No more details than that. So I investigated the garbage pail and found the chewed bottom of the plastic handle to four razors. Later I found a pile of chewed razor blades - just the metal - out in the yard mixed with a little vomit. Elsewhere I found plastic bits in her poop. Not a single drop of blood from her mouth or elsewhere. Whew!

Vrka, our stray Doberman had evidently been starved as a pup. As a result, she would eat anything at all. This includes bananas with peel, 5 pounds of dry rice, a piece of fried chicken that my Dad was holding (well, it was just about at her level...), a box of cloves (she had to climb up to the spice rack for that one), and other items, as they say, too numerous to mention.

We think that she had been poisoned at least once, her coat never quite recovered from it - it was dry and rough, not at all a doberman-type coat.

Her gaseous emmissions are legendary to this day, just ask my brothers.

Ah, the memories.

When I was a kid we had a great dane-mastiff mix that ate a partially thawed leg of lamb (styrofoam, plastic wrap, label and all) off the kitchen counter. We never found the syrofoam or plastic, but the bone showed up eventually.

Orphan Annie, our English Setter, would eat anything. Perhaps the worst, mess-wise, was that she'd go into any purse she could find, and pull out a lipstick. Chew it, drag it around, poop it out...ARGH!

A friend's cocker spaniel got into the rum balls one Christmas. Not nearly as bloated as Jaspar, but just as drunk. Wagged her tail so hard she sprained it. Ow.

I laughed so hard at Jaspar's tale that I think I sprained something.... L.
