I came home last night from work and Marco was very excited from being in his play area all day.... Went into the bathroom and Marco nudged his head in the door, took a pair of underwear and went running with excitement. I went to go grab them out of his mouth and they were gone.

How does a 7lb dog think it's okay to swallow a pair of underwear whole! This was at 1 am. I started freaking out, called the closest emergency vet (an hour away) and they said I need to bring him down. After 20 minutes of waiting for him to throw up, and nothing happening, I grabbed my purse and took him down.

They induced vomiting and he threw them up whole, plus his 2 inch long bully stick that he swallowed right before the underwear. I also, tried to grab it from him because it was getting too small and he swallowed it.

I feel like in his puppy mind he was thinking (no if I can't have it, you won't either)

He doesn't chew up his food much either which has Ben a concern. I gave him heart guard on the first and he swallowed that.... Which isn't too small of a "treat"......

This is a warning sign to me that I need to start keeping things away from him better... And start really working on training him because he definitely is hyperactive and has his own stubbornness about him naturally. I think I have a challenge ahead of me...

Also, I think doggy daycare is in our nearfuture. He just is so high energy.
