My dog, Chip, has developed a taste for rocks. This is addition to his eclectic taste for other household items including crayons, pens, Lego, and toothbrushes. Up until the rock everything had passed through with flying colors ( yes, even the toothbrush ). The rock cost more than I’d like to admit to extricate. Let’s just say I paid as much for his rock, as my wife’s.
While picking him up at the vet I was told there are many repeat offenders, one patient even consuming the same rock that was just extricated. For several months afterwards Jodie and I would only walk Chip with a “Hannibal Lecter”-esque muzzle on. This of course concerned other people we ran into while walking him.
“Wow… is your dog mean?!?”, I’d get asked.
“No, not mean”, I’d reply, “Just stupid.”

You make me laugh so much. I needed a good chuckle to get me started today.

My dog started bringing in small rocks to play with as a puppy. She’d throw them up in the air and catch them in her mouth or bat them like a cat might and then chase after them… Not sure if she ever swallowed one. We stated taking the rocks away and gave her a roasted almond instead. She doesn’t play with rocks anymore, but if she ever sees us eating nuts, she basically sits there waiting for us to toss her one as well.
