Last night I found an empty Orbit box on the floor. I had just opened
it earlier and left it on the
table. The new pup had jumped on a chair and gotten the package. She
then ate about twelve pieces,
paper and all.

This morning I picked her up from the emergency room where she'd been
'flushed'. That was a $550
lesson.

Live and learn. I, of course, realize that most here are way too
bright to ever do such a thing.

My dog ate a sandwich once.. still in the sandwich bag. Cost us 60 bucks
to have the vet give her a shot that made her puke it all back up... I
don't remember if he sedated her first or not.

I will note that in another post I talk about how my dogs don't eat
people food. I should be clear that the dog I am refering to in the
above post was given to me when she was already about 5 years old...
