Yorkie: "What's this on the ground?" Lexi likes to pick up random stuff on the ground...whatever is small and falls on the ground (elastic bands, twist ties...etc, she loves dirt from potted plants as well as the plants). I try to keep the place clean but for some reason finds it anyways. Will she eventually stop eatting/playing with random stuff from the ground? |
I would like to know too. Penny picks up any and everything her mouth fits. It scares me. She found wire about one inch long the other day. We have to check her mouth constantly. |
Yes. Eventually. If you have houseplants, please be sure to do research as to whether the plants you have may be toxic or not if eaten by your yorkie. |

ETA: Looks like Foxtails are found west of the Mississippi. I must be confusing them with another weed here. |
Teach 'em to barter! Hubby taught Bailey to bring him her toys -one at a time - and he gave her a cheerio in exchange. Now, Bailey hunts around the house and brings EVERYTHING to us - hair bands, coins, grass from the yard, etc. 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. :) |

We call Shay an ant eater, he walks around sniffing up EVERYTHING! before he is up in the morning, I sweep the kitchen not once, but twice..and my goodness he still finds something.... |
Ruby will eat everything on the ground (by eat I mean chew and eventually spit out after mass destruction of the object has occurred :D ). She will notice ANYTHING that moves, be it fingers, toes, strings, threads etc, and chew/bite it and also anything out of the ordinary...like a spec on the wall or something!!! It's so weird how she sees EVERYTHING! :rolleyes: |
Roxie is 3 years old and she still picks up everything off the ground. The other day I accidentally dropped the plastic outlet protector on the floor and the next thing I knew I saw her with it in her mouth. We're working on "leave it" with her, but it doesn't always work so well out on walks. |

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. :confused: 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. :eek: Disgusting and very dangerous for him!!!! Da*n whoever is a chicken wing-bone litterer!!!! Why can't they use a trash can???? LOL :D |

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!!! |

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 :rolleyes: |
Quote:
Would love, love, love to catch someone in the act. Just once!!! |
