VizslaMomma Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I wonder though, did the people not notice that many socks going AWOL? I like to think I would... Trufully, some of us have houses that eat socks. This started with me because I have brothers. We always had lost socks. Never had a dog that contributed to their being lost. But lost they would be. In the end, Ma would only buy the same boring black sock or white or blue. Then she had hopes of matching pairs. I have the same troubles, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeph loves to bugger off with one of my socks. Just my socks. Not OHs. And only one. He hides them in his crate, scrunched up in his blankets, under his bed or in the loungeroom. I have given up trying to find them all at washing time and just wear mis-matched socks. It is easier that way. (insert rolly eye man) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 My dogs don't steal socks. But the cat does, she carries them around the house making little meowing noises. I haven't quite worked out whether it's a hunting behaviour or a nesting type behaviour(she is desexed) but I found a stockpile of them in one corner not long ago. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandgrubber Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 The 2012 contest link is also interesting. My fav. was Honorable Mention Dana Ellis, practice manager Neartown Animal Clinic Houston, Texas A 46-pound English bulldog swallowed a 9-inch screwdriver. Dog did very well after cranial laparotomy and gastrotomy. However, after he woke up, he promptly ate his intravenous injection port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VizslaMomma Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Found another one: this was 2011 competition Patti Klein Manke, DVM Prince Edward, a 9-year-old bulldog, ate his owner’s false teeth when he found them in a bowl that had ice cream in it. The teeth were returned to the owner and she is smiling again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
