| Mine also picks up cigarette butts on the sidewalks and eats them. I usually stop it just before she starts to swallow it. Cathy |

| Oh, yes! It's disgusting! Kacee picks them up and I can't tell you how many I have pried out of her mouth! Yuk! I've learned to watch ahead of her as much as I can to try to steer her around them, but...

| My sister smokes out in the backyard very often. At first Ruby seemed very intrested in those butts but then she really forgot about them or so I have seen. I hope so also. Although I have already worned my sister that she better pick these up because they can be harmful to our furbabies. I have said if they get to one because she is reluctant to pick them up I will be very angry. I said " Pick your butts up or I wil kick your butt". |

| while you are on the subject of cigarettes... how about second hand smoke? I worry about that with mine. both me and my husband smoke. I watch where my smoke goes just as i do with humans but my husband does not. sometimes it is right in their face. and yes my ahia used to go for the butts also. she has grown out of that stage i think. There are so many on the streets and you do have to watch ahead of them to steer them away just as yorkieusa has said she does. Just makes you want to yell "HEY DUDE, IS THAT BIODEGRADABLE? IT GOES IN THE ASH TRAY NOT IN MY BABY'S MOUTH".

The first yorkie that we had was addicted to nicotene(sp) at that time my husband smoked and whenever she found a butt she would eat what was left of the tobacco out of it. It use to totally gross me out. I don't remember if it made her sick or not.

| Stewie pulled my purse off my desk yesterday, opened a pack of Marlboro Lights and ate 16 cigarettes and broke the other 4. Then he threw them up.

| I think he is. He's acting like his sneaky self. My vet wasn't concerned since he puked them up right away. Thanks for asking though I felt like a bad mommy since he got into them in the first place, but my purse was like 4 feet high and he jumped up!
