Yorkie: "What's this on the ground?"

[RemydeHaviland]

Yes Remy at 1.5 years still does this

I got rid of almost all my house plants, which eliminated the need for me to care for them so on one hand I don't mind too much

Outside, he finds chicken bones! It is soooooooo irritating. I live in the city, and people must eats wings by the dozen and just throw the bones on the sidewalks. I am constantly watching, but occasionally Remy gets one that I did not see. Then I'm on my hands and knees prying it from his mouth. Disgusting and very dangerous for him!!!! Da*n whoever is a chicken wing-bone litterer!!!! Why can't they use a trash can???? LOL

Will she eventually stop eatting/playing with random stuff from the ground?

They never really quit, they can be trained though. If we see Starr chewing on plants or schrubs we spray it with Bitter Apple. bring her back to the item and have her smell it again. Generally that is the end of the chewing on that item. She hates the taste and smell of Bitter Apple.

Its was really cute at first and now its kind of annoying - lol. Today, a dead lady bug was dropped in my lap. Yuk! No worries, I picked it up with a kleenex and gave Bailey her cheerio.

Cutest thing of heard of in a long time!!!!

My Calleigh picked up everything and chewed everything until she was at least a year and a half. She doesn't do that anymore.....

So, it only lasts for a little while.

We have the same problem in SF! Is there some law that chicken bones cannot be thrown into the trash?

when Gatsby was a puppy and we lived in the small house the neighbor would throw any bones left over over the fence so my dogs could eat them i would let them out to potty and almost every morning i would find more well one day Gatsby got one caught in his mouth he was okay, but now he will not touch a bone of any kind not even ones i buy him from the bucher

This made me laugh! You should set up a hidden camera and catch that stupid chicken-wing bone litterer! LOL

Mr. Darcy is 16 months old, and he picks up my grandkids plastic toys and if we don't catch him - he wrecks them.....as soon as I say "No drop it - that's not yours" he does!!!

Seriously!!

I'd never considered chicken wings a "to go" food!

Who would eat them in a car??? All that sticky wing sauce, blue cheese dressing, etc.... how do you wipe your hands and still drive? Or, should I not ask
