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.


You could also raise your dog as I do, no human food, ever. My dogs can
lay on the floor next to a turkey sandwich and never even realize it's
something to eat, much less touch it. Just sayin'. When you train a
puppy, remember anything you train him to do (like eat people food), he
will do when he get's older....

Exactly, human food isn't good for any animal, to start with. And same
with my dog, he's never partaken in human food, so he has no idea what
it is. He'll lay right next to me at the table and never beg one bit.
