Peanut is FAMOUS.... (well more like his gut is!)

[MyPeanut]

The local paper came out today and guess who made it? Yep PEANUT!! A few weeks ago I came on here because my baby was really bad sick. For those that don’t know he was throwing up and weak acting. His blood work showed some major problems and he was so lethargic. Long story short my “eat everything” dog had eaten some fishing line. I was so upset he had to stay the night there with an IV, the vet gave me his cell phone number if I had any worries. Turns out the X-ray also revealed he had a small bright shinny object in his stomach! It was a diamond stud earring my daughter lost.

OHHHHHH what I went through……… anyway he passed everything but now here is the lighter side of the story! (I can laugh now about it!) The vet wrote a story about it and put his x-ray in the story too! My mouth dropped open when I read the title, “A Yorkshire Puppy Named Peanut.” The vet told all about this crazy women……….. NOOOOOO he didn’t say that but I know that’s what he was thinking, brought him Peanut and what happened. He wanted to make everyone aware of how easy having the responsibility of having a pet can take on so much!

SO …… should I think of it like ……. COOL, my baby made the local paper or should I be OH Nooooo I was made an example of? Ohhhhh I really don’t care because if one person reads that story and picks up or watches their babies more I am very OKAY with it!

I guess like with my kids I need to start him a scrap book for all his famous moments! (but rule #1 no more VET stories!) I plan on sending a letter to the editor to publicly saying how wonderful and professional he was toward my ummmmm craziness and to Peanut!

Wow! How exciting. Peanut sounds like a character. But hey, he has good taste....diamonds??? WTG Peanut...hehehe

Sometimes papers have an online version, so maybe you could post a link if it your paper does that! I would love to read it.

OHHHHHH I wish I could ...... Wauchula is so small our paper comes out once a week (Wednesday) and nope for 75 years that they have been printing the paper nothing has changed which includes the internet!

I am a computer major and offered to set it up for them for FREE!!!!! but small towns don't like change!

I would have loved to post the x-ray only cause it really does show how he knows a good diamond! hehehe

Aww...Peanut is a celebrity!!! I know these furkids will eat anything. My husband and I barely go through a loaf of bread every two weeks, but my yorkies find a new bread twistie tie every day!!! Where are these coming from??? Oh well I just keep pulling them out of their mouths and throwing them away...

I think the vet should have told you that he was going to do that.
But I'm glad that your baby is ok!

How exciting; we have a celebrity! Glad everything ok. I've heard of cat burglars, but never a dog burglar.

Glad peanut is ok... amazing how they can find things that we cannot.. my girlfriend on the way home from florida could not find one of her brand new diamond studs.. we were traveling with 7 yorkies.. I was scared.. and a couple days later picked up a runner.. and all of a sudden I see her stud.. I was so glad it was not in one of them...anne

about the dog who eats everything. Peanut needs to be kept on a diet I think. He does have good taste though.

Peanut is a celebrity. How exciting!! I bet you were really shocked when you saw his story in the paper??? And with the full details of his not so good diet. Leave it to a little Yorkie to make such a big mess.

KimluvsLexie:
You are so right on with where are they coming from? She lost that earring 6 months go! LOL The fishing line is the part that blows my mind. HOW did he eat that........ what suck it in like spegetti? lol

KitKatJam:
I understand what you mean and I did think that for a moment but only Peanuts name was mentioned and it was more of a public service annoucement I am thinking.

Nancy1999:
I love it............ I see my next yorkie t-shirt now....... (cloud above my head) an snickering yorkie with a mask on with a bubble over his head saying, "Cat burglar, grrrrrr what do they know?" lol

Mypreciouspups:
7 of them........... are you INSANE!!!!!!!! LOL

lvmydogz2much:
I tell Peanut every day......... if he eats one more thing that doesn't belong to him he is GROUNDED!!!!! (I think my skin babies have taught him some sneaky tricks!)

[loveyorks]

Where and how did he get to eat a fishing line? earings I can imagine and understand easily bc I have to be careful of stuff like that as well, after all it's fun to chew and play with it but a fishing line? what can be tasty about that???? LOL

I agree, I think the vet should have told you. Glad Peanut is ok now. It is something what they can eat/get themselves into.

Tell me about it........ The best guess I have is my daughter collects marinet (spelling) dolls and the arms and legs use fishing line. She told me after we found out everything she caught him eating one of her dolls but just threw it away. But I soooooooo agree "What could be tasty about that!"
