I would like to introduce you to my dog George she is turning 11 this year and is still as naughty as a puppy. On Wednesday my next door neighbour Bob gave me one dozen eggs, while I was hanging out the washing, so I put on our table on the patio. I could here that Grady was awake from his sleep and went it to get him. Forgetting all about the eggs. During the afternoon I went out for a couple of hours. When leaving I put the dogs out side. I got home and was greeted at the gate by two very happy dogs. I looked into the back yard to see a funny mess, it was about quarter of the egg carton with no eggs or egg shells to be seen. I called the vet and they said to keep an eye on them. I went out all day on Thursday and came home to a very sick and sorry George. I’m now guessing she didn’t share any of the eggs or shells or carton. She wasn’t asking for tea and was sitting in a dark room. I called the vet at 5.15 and he said to come straight away. George was given a needle and a check up and sent home. But wasn’t allowed to eat anything. She was feeling much better within an hour and asking for food. Later last night I found she had stolen the paper towel out of the pantry and was half way through it.
Today she is much better and eating small serves of rice.
Here is a list of the number of times I have had to taken her to the vet. (That i can remember)
She ate a rubber glove, Late one Friday night then a sandwich covered in gladwrap the following Friday night. The sandwich came back up fully wrapped. A tea towel (I changed vets) she stayed in for observation. 1 kg bag of Quality Streets, luckily she ate them still wrapped in there foil. These were bought by my sister for me i had not opened the plastic bag and they were in my new bag, which she destroyed getting to the chocolates, number of Easter eggs, Santa bag of freedo frogs (the nurse said she wasn’t going to eat freedos again.) A birthday cake just finished being decorated, numerous rolls of toilet paper. And now 12 eggs and there shells plus 3/4 of the carton.
She is a very cleaver and sneaky dog that will sniff out anything that she shouldn’t have.
When we leave her inside we have to ask have we George proofed the house.
