NOTHING tops some of the stuff found at http://www.watchingyou.com/poop.html!
In my home we have the combined eating power of 2 dogs. The big one, Lucy, who is white (that’s all I know) has chosen the universal remote as her favorite, although she also likes socks and shoes. Our other dog Riley (shih-tsu/poodle mix aka Shit-poo) likes used underwear and catbox goodies. gross. Our two cats Spock and Zen prefer each other, though Zen will hunt moths as well (which is fun as HELL to watch). Our newest member, a small kitten named Boo, prefers human fingers, but he and Spaock also like the laser pointer red dot on the carpet.
A popular stereotype, however, holds that chinese people eat cats and vietnamese eat dogs, but I serve not to perpetuate these nasty rumors. Besides everyone knows catholics are a bunch of cannibals anyway, so I can’t talk.
Yes sir, step right up.
The Bunghole Bungee Buddy, the amazing total colon cleanser.
After through testing this amazing product is now available for home use.
Simply take one(huge) pill and let peristalsis do the rest. In approximately 12-24 hours your buddy will emerge naturally leaving behind only a sparkling colon.
Yess sir, only $19.95, this product not sold in stores.
Beer bottles.
Okay, he hasn’t actually EATEN one, but we’ve caught our 10 month old border collie mix with these twice. The bottles were caked with dirt, so we think he must have dug them up. Now, we don’t throw bottles into the yard and the last wild party we had was in 1983, so your guess as to where they came from is as good as mine. He also likes to chew on aluminum cans and any hard plastic. My husband once left his pack of cigarettes and lighter outside on a table for literally three minutes. By the time Mr. Legend went back out, the dog had taken them and swallowed probably four or five cigarettes (but not, luckily, the lighter). We had to pour a couple of tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide down his throat to get the tobacco out of him (as prescribed by - bless them - the emergency animal clinic).
These aren’t things he eats, but the last time we went on vacation, he took a folding lawn chair up the kids’ slide into the play structure and left it there, and one of his favorite chew toys is a steering wheel from a 72 Dodge Colt that we had beside a shed. He loves it so much we took the wires and metal pieces out and just let him keep it.
That’s not actually a new idea (though I think the “bungee cord” angle IS new…) I’ve read about stuff like that in my yoga books. Like eating a long, thin strip of cloth, then pulling it out the other end, for total interior cleansing. (Anyone who’s seen the movie Crumb has seen an example of this - Crumb’s brother does it.) It’s been done in the East for centuries.
Blecch. How clean does one’ colon really need to be?
Sorry 'bout the hijack…now back to our regularly scheduled programming.
My dog (a Westie) once ate a large section of one of my chess books. She also once swallowed a quarter, and attempted to eat a cricket ball (same week–how many dogs have tried that combination?)
Not unusual, but with an unusual result: My grandfather’s Yorkshire terrier was once fed a large quantity of pork and sauerkraut by a well-meaning cousin. Within three days, all of the dog’s hair had fallen out. It looked like a big hairless rat!
Just a quick reminder to not pull on things coming out of your pet’s butt! That’s a good way to rip up their intestines.

Oh, Yeah! That’s the other thing they didn’t teach me in kindergarten. Don’t pull stuff out of Rover/Fluffy’s butt!
Thanks Michi. (Insert favorite smiley here)
When my Sheltie was a puppy he would display his separation anxiety by chewing on our vinyl record collection. He never actually ate the records, but the covers were definitely messed up! I believe he has swallowed the eyes off stuffed animals, even though we try to prevent that. He doesn’t chew anything he’s not supposed to now, but that dog has got a licking fetish! He’ll lick your hand, or your feet, or your face, as long as you can stand it. It gets really icky after a while. But Blaze is the sweetest little dog. Oh, my hubby calls him the “carpet shark” 'cuz he’ll sneak up on you and attack your feet, just like a cat, with claws and teeth. It’s hilarious.
