Yesterday, while I tried to occupy Lilly as I worked, she destroyed her 2009 x-mas present — the Twist n’ Treat. Since it had issues with being too easy, I’m not all that bummed about the ruined toy, but she tore off three pieces, and I can only find TWO of them. I fear she swallowed one.
It’s small enough I suspect it will pass without incident. Let’s hope so, at least. Otherwise, like KB, I’ll be looking at getting a home x-ray machine. (Kidding)
I have left Lilly alone with this toy before, but I’m glad that this time I was right here … working away, when the shards of purple rubber (or whatever) caught my eye.
And, yes, that’s blood on the edge. She was chewing on it that hard to get out the duck-wrapped sweet potato treats I had stuffed inside.
I had no idea my dainty girl had SUCH jaw strength.
Fingers crossed, then … if you please … that this doesn’t turn into a dog emergency. The first official Poop Watch 2010 is underway.
Good thing Lilly did not like this…because now Premier Pet Products merged with RSC (Radio System Corporation) a shock collar company.
Strummer did the exact same thing to that toy. He eats stuff a lot bigger than that and so far no problem, I’m sure Lily will be fine. Our yard is often filled with colorful bits of fleece from tugs and toys and lord knows what mixed in with the poop.
Yikes! Hope your poor little pooch is OK. And I like the new blog design!
Ahh, Dog-Geek. Ginko ate some crayons as a pup. We witnessed technicolor poops around here for a long time. Silly boy.
I’m glad the feed issue is solved. Sorry my ambitious blog stuff messed things up and caused you more work.
Yikes! Here’s hoping everything comes out okay in the end (har har.) Most of my dogs have been pretty good over the years about not swallowing things that aren’t actually edible, but B…. well, we’ve had some pretty shocking technicolor poops come out of that little girl. She even once ate some crayons that someone’s kid left in the yard after our big part this summer. I’m glad crayons are non-toxic, and I’m glad I caught her before she ate all of them, so that I was prepared in advance for the time that I would see the ones that she ate again.
By the way, deleting and re-adding your blog to my sidebar seems to have fixed the problem!
Because of past incidents, we now never leave the Herd with anything that they can chew on. Not just because of this, but toys can also create a fight. Just safer for them to chew on each other.
I see, you are blogging. Thanks for the heads up. I’ll change the feed on my blog sidebar.
Having spent a lot of time looking at xrays of objects in my dogs’ GI tracts over the past couple of months, it’s my amateur opinion that the piece will pass. But, if you want to go in on a home xray machine with us – just let me know 🙂
I haven’t found a toy yet that my pups haven’t destroyed. I’ll definitely cross this one off my list. They have lots of funny colors in their pooh from all the “goodies” they eat.
Hm. That really is surprising.. maybe even eye opening. I don’t leave Marge alone with her Twist-N-Treat, but now I REALLY won’t leave her alone.
Fingers crossed for piles of fresh poo. Yep, only us dog people.. (though, speaking from experience, the horse folks do similar)
