OMG our Golden Retriever used to eat EVERYTHING. Probably from the time she was a pup until maybe 3 years old. That dog swallowed socks, paper, huge rawhides, small rocks from outside, Good God, just thinking back, I would have been a wreck now as a pet owner. But she just ate so much crap that we became used to it and I guess we always got lucky that she passed everything. She died at the age of 10 from cancer (she was not spayed). My aunt's Pittie eats everything too, he shreds a lot of toys. I guess I've just known a lot of dogs who find dumb stuff to eat, so it doesn't entirely scream 'emergency!' to me. With Jackson though, I am so much more paranoid than any of our other dogs in general. But I still don't freak out about much. He's known as the dog that will always manage to find something to put in his mouth, at my dads house, it's like "What do you have NOW?!" Luckily he usually just chews on things and then spits them out. Today he was chewing on a piece of wood that fell off the logs that we burn in the fire. I just gave him 'the look' and he immediately dropped it, like whaaa? And almost every morning he picks up his plastic food bowl and carries it over to me, telling me he's hungry
For some reason, he just always seems to have something in his mouth, LOL!
Sorry that probably long and winded and unnecessary to add to this thread.
