I left a couple of grape uncrustables on the kitchen counter to thaw and my lab ate them. First time she has ever done something like that. She is 5 years old and weighs 100 lbs. Should I be conerned?
My 90lb (now) black Lab ate an entire package of hamburger buns when he was 1.5 years old. In the bag. He pooped the bag out two days later and never showed a single sign of distress
YMMV
You know my kids so you'll like this one. When Son of LOYAL AG was barely 15 he got his learners permit. He still had the temporary one when this story happened.
The day after Valentine's Day Daughter of LOYAL AG had a volleyball tournament in Round Rock. Just before we left at 5:30 that morning Daughter found the remains of Son's bag of chocolate truffles he'd gotten the day before. Son ate one, the 150 lb Great Dane ate the rest. There wasn't much we could do at 530 on a Saturday so we put him in his kennel to at least contain the mess and we left. I told Daughter he's a really big dog so other than getting the ****s he'll probably be ok.
Fast forward to noon and I get a call from a friend in San Antonio. His daughter was a vet tech at our vet and she had texted him saying something like, "hey, your friend is bringing in their dog. I just pulled his file." So randomly friend calls me and I say, "Uh, I'm in Round Rock…I gotta go!"
I call Son but get no answer. I call a neighbor and ask him to go to our house. Neighbor calls back and says the garage is open and my Jeep is gone. Oh ***** I call the vet and they tell me Son called them saying Comiskey had eaten a lot of chocolate and they told him he's a really big dog but that's a lot of chocolate and it was best to bring him in.
We live out by the river at the end of Koppe Bridge which connects to Hopes Creek via a gravel road. We used the vet at Wellborn and Rock Prairie and at that point Son was terrified of Wellborn Rd. Rock Prairie dead ends at Hopes Creek but it's called Blue Ridge out there and he didn't know that part. So he put the dog in my Jeep and set out to Rock Prairie but of course didn't find it. He eventually ended up at North Dowling and Holleman and decided to turn left which took him to what was then the Wendy's at Holleman and 2818. Once there he decided to map the vet which took him to 2818 and onto Wellborn. He got over his fear and they got there safely, thank God.
I had told Neighbor to drive to the vet because that's where Son was going. Son never did answer my call when he was driving and I was on the phone with the vet telling them to have him call me when finally Son walked in with the dog. Neighbor and his 16 year old son arrived a minute later and they drove my Jeep home. When they got back Neighbor called and said my son would call in a few minutes that he was hosing out the back of my Jeep. Thank God i had rhino linered the entire floor of that thing!
When we finally talked I asked Son why he didn't call me first and he said, "You were in Round Rock, what were you going to do?" Given that response I wasn't even mad. How many 15 year olds take that kind of action to solve a problem? Still one of our favorite stories from his childhood!
A fearful society is a compliant society. That's why Democrats and criminals prefer their victims to be unarmed. Gun Control is not about guns, it's about control.
