| Bruizer ate a piece of a pencil!! I'm worried!! One of our children left a pencil on the floor last night. He ate the tip and even some of the wood!! I'm worried!! He doesn't seem sick or anything but, I'm concerned. Has anyone had any issue's with this type of thing? Thanks~Michelle |

| Harley has tried to eat pencils on more than one occasion. He is a very hard chewer, so when he would bite into them, he would have slivers of pencil everywhere! I'm sure that he has actually consumed pencil before I could get them away, and luckily we never had any problems. I would just keep an eye on you little one for the next day or so, maybe call the vet to see if there are any symptoms (other than obvious vomiting etc) that you should look for. He once got ahold of an eraser topper and that scared me worse than the pencil itself, thankfully when he bit into it it stuck on one of his k9s. Harley also is a fan of wicker baskets and the frame of our couch! Thankfully, I believe we have passed the trying to eat everything in the house stage. Knock on Wood! lol Jeri and Harley |

| Luckily pencils now are made from non-harmful materials because children would put them in their mouths and get sick from them. So I think he should be fine, but just keep an eye on him!
