I am so happy to know that he is doing so well. And you too! That must have been awful for you. I just can't imagine. One of our puppies is a little thief, she stole a razor of the side of the tub our oldest daughter left out and she was chewing on it, but she didn't get cut, thank goodness! Then she stole a small pencil sharpener the size of a half dollar from my 7 yr old. She had it in her paws and was chewing on it. Well one of her nails got stuck all the way down past the quick and was bleeding. We heard this clinking and clanking and she was trying to walk over to us. It was just dangling there. It was so sad!
We cleaned her all up and put a little pink bandage on it. My 8 yr old daughter is at the age where she has been hiding snack wrappers behind stuff, in things, etc., and we had to have "the talk." Poor Alexis, she is the first one I usually ask when the puppies pick up with something, Peaches has stolen A LOT of stuff from her Barbie house too. Alexis' answer is "maybe if you bought her her own Barbie house, she wouldn't steal mine. Are you gonna put handcuffs on her and take Peaches to jail for stealing."
Let us know if you find out how he got it. Can he reach your kitchen trash? Mine are too short but I bought a large can that you have to step on the lid. We did that for our bathroom trash also. It cut down on all of the trash stealing.
