Our previous dog would occasionally eat grass, then come back inside to hork it up with whatever else was in there, usually on a carpeted area. Maybe it was more comfortable for him there. Our current dog eats grass once in a while, and we usually make her wait outside for a while since we are conditioned now. She has not thrown-up inside, however. She’s probably thinking “What’d I do???”

My Boston terrier choked to death on a poorly cooked tamale. It fell on the floor and he tried to wolf it down before we could get it away from him. We did manage to revive him but his brain damage was so bad we had to have him put to sleep.
