| My Maddie the Mini Vacuum My Maddie is a vacuum! Yesterday I heard her chewing on something really loud. It was glass! My baby was chewing on a very small piece of glass. Where it came from I have no clue. I immediately took it out of her mouth and checked her to make sure she didn't hurt herself. That scared the poop out of me. After that I vacuumed the house again, I even used the attachment against the side of our walls. About an hour later I look over at her and find a paper clip in her mouth, then today a small staple. Where in the world is she finding these objects?? She's confined to our living room when we are home. I've checked under the couch, under tables, in corners. Am I blind? I just don't get it, where in the world is she finding these things? |

| it's amazing what they can find, and you're right to try to beat her to them. I've taken thumbtacks, daddy's razor, countless rubber bands, paper clips, etc., from her, and I swear I have a clean house! I've have found that usually she just chews on these things for awhile then spits them out (thank god) although the toilet paper in our house hasn't been safe for a long time (LOL)...that she consumes as much as she can! she also has the amazingly tricky way of sneaking pinecones and sticks into the house to tear apart all over the carpet (again she doesn't swallow these)...she's right under my feet, you'd think I'd catch on! Anyway, good luck! It can be scary when the get something like glass...I'm glad she's okay. Slightly off topic...How old is she?

| Punkin can find anything...No matter how much we sweep and vaccuum she always finds something. We are renovating the house and try to be so careful. Today she was chewing on a a twist tie - a black one. The ones we use are yellow. Go figure |

| That is so scary. These little ones can find so many tiny things. My sister's yorkie always manage to find those things also. When they came to visit he found a staple, we were in shock. |
