Oh No....he's done it again!!

[anny51]

Well, i do hope Charlie isn't going to make a career out of this! He 'returned' my daughter's knickers from the depths 2 days ago, and then last night he gobbled down one of my other dogs' leads The vet's concern this morning was whether the lead went down in one piece or several, but we hadn't actually seen him do the deed, only seen the last 6" disappear down his throat as we tried to catch him! The vet told me to monitor him for 24 hrs and contact him immediately if he became lethargic or threw up, and to report back tomorrow anyway.

Fortunately about an hour ago he pood out the lead...I had the delightful job of checking to see what was there , and as far as I can tell it is all out...I will be keeping a close eye on him for a while tho. He doesn't seem at all bothered by all the drama....it's me and my poor dad (here for Christmas from England, he spotted Charlie with the lead and tried to get it off him but Charlie was too quick) who had the sleepless night!

Hopefully he will behave himself for a while now...I'm confining him to quarters and wherever I go he has to come too, so that I can watch him!

I hope their both ok. They do cause us drama don't they!

Ann.....what fun you've been having. What's with that boy??

Charlie......quit scaring your Mama like that. Do you want nothing for Christmas???

Hope everything "works" itself through. Cyber hugs coming to you from from pals in the states!!

The whole lead, eh? What was that 4 feet, 6 feet? Even if your dad had caught the end, he'd have to pull all that out and that sure wouldn't have been comfortable for your doodle.

Charlie, what are you thinking? Are they not feeding you enough? Do you have any bones to chew on? You need to give your mama a break!

Our Charlie ate an entire leash a few weeks ago too. I have no idea when or where, because I'm home all the time with him. Suddenly he threw up...and there it was. What a shock.

Thankfully I'd cut the broken metal clasp off the end. I gave it to him to play with because his leash was always a comfort/pacifier type toy since we rescued him at 4 months. He loves to put a leash in his mouth and play soccer with a tennis ball or play tug of war with it. Not any more!

What also surprised me was that he had chewed it into 3 or 4 equal length pieces, almost as if he measured each one. They all came up together.

Teehee
Silly Doodle
glad he is ok.........

)Pam ...maybe our Charlie's are clones, that's exactly what mine did (except I know he chews leads...his all have Extra Hot Chilli Pepper Sauce on them , but this was Sunny's lead...think one of the kids must have left it on the table and it's fallen onto the floor "right into my mouth, Mum" . He's such a little devil....followed it up by going into daughter's bedroom (she'd left her door open ) and ate half a large pack of bacon flavoured crisps, some left over chips (think you call them french fries) and 4 raw sausages from the supermarket (don't ask...she's a teenager!!!). Was expecting a major 'upheaval' last night, but surprisingly his digestion seems to have coped ok with it....must be allthe practice it's been having with articles of clothing etc... Seems to be a distinct doodle "hobby'. My daughter works in a shop and was telling a customer about Charlie's latest exploit...customer replied with a similar story about her dog....then they realised they both have doodles!!

Btw, the lead was a 6' one!

[MaxandMe]

OMG here i thought Max swallowing a whole kitchen dish towel was something else

ANN you and Dad might be taking guard duty shifts during the night if it keeps up
WHEW glad to hear Charlie's decided to end your worries by returning the "borrowed" item.
your poor dad ........may end up needing a stiff drink before his visit ends.

Charlie!!!!! Our neighbors dog ate a lightbulb once; he fared just fine after a bit of surgery!!! Watch yourself, Charlie!!!

LOL 'Chips' are the long strips of potatoes that are deep-fried...they can be fat, when they're crisp on the outside and floury in the middle, or skinny (like McDonalds' ones) when they're crispy (sometimes ). "crisps' are what you guys call 'chips' (I think) and are the wafer -thin slices of potato, deep-fried and come in various flavours like salt and vinegar, cheese, barbeque doodle ( ). Now you can speak "English"! Out here in NZ is even more confusing....my English 'crisps' are 'chips' and my English chips are 'hot chips"...is it any wonder I'm fast going senile?!

[Tink]

Wow, I've not had that scary experience yet. Thank God it ended well.

[Linn]

Oh my gosh! WHat is with these dogs?!?!

Last night Chance threw up a huge pile of felt strips from onen of those felt rope toys, and I thought that was bad! It's so tough being at my mom's house for the holidays, b/c her dogs are great with toys and other items that mine will either tear to bits or swallow in a heartbeat.

Glad to hear the Charlies worked everything out ok!

I am happy not having had any children of my own! The dogs were enough. I nearly ran away from home trying to raise my DH two kids! They still are naughty to put it nicely, and they are in their 20's!!!!!!!
