DOGS

[33 IMP]

Cute, Charly

I hope he never eats any of them
I had a GF that had a dog/ Akita that started out, to just carring them around
he ended up wanting to eat & swallow them, for some damn reason
Very expensive surgery after that, 2 times in 10 years too,
you'd think he would have learned the 1st time...

Why they do it, there's no flavor to speak of why would they eat them...
I can see chewing on them not eating them...
Sometimes a strange animal, I still love em'
wouldn't be without one...

My Chocolate Lab Elvis plays with socks, I tie into knots & he plays tug of war
& retrieves them, I trained him early on to not destroy them or eat them...

thank god he doesn't ever eat them, knock on wood

Cudabug is in recovery jail as we speak, from VERY expensive surgery to remove a big piece of rubber ball from his intestine.

Believe me, we keep a close eye on him, but thank you for the wise words!

I figured as much...

Good pet owners/stewards... I think they mostly own US...

Very cool deal, at 1st glance it was hard to see the Pheasant
on the ground at here feet
It's almost like she's smiling too...

They're hard to see. The first one I almost stepped on. They hunker down and don't move unless you're right one em. She's been happy ever since. Officially a bird dog.

Yep been down that road,thor ate a pull rope and it tangled around his intestines. This happened 6 months after a ACL tear. What we do for our babies. And they just plow you over with those dang cones.

Now ain't THAT the truth! Cuda has tried to knock me on my *** countless times in the last couple weeks.
He has the trick of sticking his head between my legs, so I'll scratch his butt. He's now dangerous with his plastic ram!

She finally did it!
Her first bird!
I shot another one but we couldn't find it. I was thinking we're doomed, shot this one it went down in a thicket and when I was close enough I sent her in and she ran it down. I'm super proud of a pound dog that is on her third home and didn't even know how to sit 6 months ago. Next year is gonna be awesome when I mix in ducks, she loves swimming and retrieving in water.
Her beard stuck out like that for 10 minutes afterwards! Lol she's hooked. View attachment 1570931

This is Titan, he was a really great dog. One of my favorite things is youth peasant season. Titan with a pair of birds, the black one is a hybrid that I buy and put out so this kids would be guaranteed some shooting. My grandson really enjoyed walking him.

My GSD KC (passed in January) ate a piece of cotton clothesline, complete with knots (it was my puppy Tilly's tug o'war toy) . He got very ill, wouldn't eat anything but grass. He couldn't pass that either. We didn't know what happened to the rope. Upon taking him to the vet, they noticed something in his stomach, they could not identify it....so, next step was a ultasound. The ultrasound noted a fiberous mass in his lower stomach and partially in his duodenum. Yep, it was the rope. 4k later and having to do 2 separate procedures (at the same time)...they saved him. I asked for the rope and grass entangled wad. I washed it out and bleached it. It is now in a shadow box on the wall. It is the most expensive 18" of cotton clothesline known to man. People ask what it is...I tell them that it is 4 thousand dollars.

I won't say how much I spent saving Cuda. Let's just say, it was a lot.
Five years ago, if someone told me they spent what I just spent saving a dog, I would have said "YOURE CRAZY!" Do you realize how many car parts you could buy for that?
Today, I don't regret the lack of car parts, even a little bit. I still have my dog.

They gave me the rubber ball too. I don't know what my girlfriend did with it.

Today at the dog park, I picked up and put a 2x2 inch piece of tennis ball in my pocket. Mine tore some skin loose from a tennis ball. I gave her no more time with it and threw it away. She is teething, so I expect to be tossing a lot of toys when they start coming apart.

 

[Skytrooper]

Yup, I learned my lesson. No more shredded toys. They go in the garbage before the pieces can be ingested

We did not keep string toys for our dogs, nor tennis balls.
