On the other hand, I used to have a 120-pound horse-dog named Jake who once ate an entire 1 pound bag of Hershey’s kisses – wrappers and all – with no ill effects. Other than having sparkly poo for a while.

That’s the second time in a month I’ve heard about a dog eating a gargantuan amount of chocolate and surviving. I think the other was a whole chocolate cake or something like that. Which is surprising to me, considering the dire warnings I’ve always heard about chocolate being like poison to them. (I’d let our dog lick the bottom of the bowl when I’d finished vanilla ice cream with Nestle’s syrup, because — let’s face it — there ain’t a lot of chocolate in that topping.)
Moving on to another Pullet Point, if chicken bones splinter and kill dogs — that seems like a crappy SNAFU in evolution. Because dogs are always going to go after them.
So the splintered bone in the gullet is truly the chicken’s last great gesture of defiance, I suppose. Chickens are surely a cold and dour lot.
On the other hand… they are delicious.
Our old family dog ate chocolate all the time – an entire chocolate birthday cake, entire baskets of Easter candy (Hershey’s kisses, chocolate bunnies). I remember the sparkly poo very well.
As for chicken bones, it is the cooked ones that splinter and lodge in dogs’ throats and guts. They can handle raw bones perfectly well, so no SNAFU in evolution. The bone-choking crisis is entirely the fault of anthropogenic warming of the bones. We need massive government regulation to address this global crisis.
Aauuggh! Send billions to the U.N. right away! This calls for a bar-b-coup — it’s rotisserious!
Had someone dump a full grown German Shepard near where I worked back in the early eighties. Dog was starving when it wandered into my workplace but was still very friendly. I worked in a grain facility, farmers sold us seed (mostly fescue) and we cleaned, bagged, and sold it to retailers. So, with all the seed, we had rats and mice. So, with the rats and mice we had blocks of rat poison set out here and there. You can see where this is going. Big friendly Starving dog finds and proceeds to wolf down one of these large blocks of rat poison. Only time that dog ever growled at me was when I tried to stop it from eating that block of poison. Dog survived and went home with me to live for many happy years.
My dog used to eat aluminium cans with no apparent I’ll effects. (I soon trained her not to eat them)
I’ve seen dogs eat door jambs, and heard of a dog eating through a double-plywood door. And that darn white stuffing in chew toys. Dogs….
I tried to post this picture on Facebook using the icon in your post, and all it does is post the headline and the text and a big blank JPG picture. (Go see my wall to take a look.) I love your stuff, but it’s not really made to go viral. Pinning with Pinterest isn’t even permitted, and the Facebook sharing is wonky. I think you guys need to update this site to get it into the 2018’s!
You young whippersnappers with your fancy technology. In my day if you wanted somebody to see a picture you had to hand copy it then deliver it yourself to their house. By horse. At night. Uphill. Both ways
Luxury! Of course, we had it rough. . .
