The little woman went out with a friend, and I was in the bedroom finishing a vigorous carpet shampooing. As I come out at 6:45, my dog, God bless 'er, chewed up...

A plastic silverware/napkin set that was sitting on the coffee table from lunch.
A bar of soap.
Toilet paper... from the toilet.
A piece of gum the little woman had shoved into a Borders receipt.

Then she **** on the rug.

Take your dog across the street to your neighbors yard.

Why was there toilet paper still in the toilet?

If it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down?
Being in debt and celebrating a lower deficit is like being on a diet and celebrating the fact you gained two pounds this week instead of five.

No ****! I'd show that bitch the strength of my pimp hand for getting all uppity and thinking she can have "friends".

I hope you realize, subego, that you officially own one dumb dog.

What is this, the Twilight Zone? Your girl goes out partying, and you're cleaning the house! I don't understand this.

What I don't understand is, why subego and his girlfriend have reversed traditional gender roles here.

If someone could explain this I'd most appreciate it!

Heard a crack at about 4 in the morning.

Why, that would be the nibblet chowing down on a razor blade.

Say what you want about cats, but at least they don't try to eat deadly things on a daily basis.

It's certainly trying.

While she's always eaten stuff she wasn't supposed to, hopefully this flurry of activity is somewhat transient. She got a dose of steroids a couple of days ago to help her tummy issues (allergies, not swallowing objects), so she's got all this extra energy that's tough to burn off considering how hot it is outside.

The 'roids also make her pee 12 times a day and growl at other dogs. She's not really herself at the moment.

Doesn't sound like she is having a problem swallowing objects.

I take back my previous comment now that I know we're talking about a black poodle (my personal favorite type of dog).

And as such, you no doubt know the reason I was able to let the comment roll off my back... they're scary smart (though admittedly, the connection between what goes in and what goes out is a wee bit too abstract).

However, except for another bar of soap 2 nights ago, she's back to her normal self WRT eating weird crap. As in, she isn't.

Obviously, soap has gone on the contraband list. In retrospect, that's likely what made the razor attractive, it was one of the Venus razors with the big block of moisturizer surrounding the blade.

I have a feeling there's some animal product in it that strikes her fancy, and after having her first soap eating experience a few weeks ago, has had a sudden realization of the banquet within paws reach.
