| puppy ate a scrap of paper he ripped off the corner of the receipt when I was taking it from him. Should I be concerned? Or just watch his poops? |

| I wouldn't think so. It'll be so small once it absorbs fluid, it'll pass easily. You may not even notice it in his poo.

| I think my dogs consider paper part of their daily diet. Magazines seem to be dessert of choice.

| It's ok. He is just trying to recycle. You should see the things mine have eaten. Paper, bookmarks, toy stuffing and who knows what else.

| Magazines are meant to be ripped into shreds and partially digested here too. I keep them out of her reach now, but visitors and family best be warned if they want their magazine in one piece when they leave. lol.

| You have a feisty little one. lol. I love their spunky and rebellious personalities at times. I just don't let her know it. Sometimes you just have to get to yourself and laugh about all that you are in for. (: Sounds like you found a happy and healthy pup. Congrats!

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | I have 2 four-legged paper shredders in this house. I believe they are trying to increase their fiber intake The only thing to watch out for is once they do this, they will look for opportunities to do it again. It's a highly addictive form of entertainment to them.

| I always say if your local theatre or school play needs "snow" just come to me because Neo and now Connor are THE BEST shredders ever! No roll of paper towels is safe if left within their reach! |

| I forgot about kleenex. It's been a while since we've had a dog around here. He's mostly in the kitchen, he just happened to be on the couch and found it. Guess I could save money on buying treats to train him and give him junk mail instead |
