Who wants to know what happens when a labrador eats a kilo of caster sugar?

Don't worry, the dog is fine for now!

I got home from shopping this morning and 8 week old DD started crying for a feed. I quickly put away everything I thought was at risk from labrador investigation and sat to feed her. Ddog had a sniff round and then came to cuddle on the sofa. By the time I finished feeding DD it was time to collect DS from nursery.

It did not cross my mind for a second that ddog would split open the bag of sugar all over the living room carpet and eat the vast majority of it. I was wrong.

Obviously I called the vet straight away, who laughed told me he would be fine, just might be a bit hyper.

He threw up on our bed. Right through the duvet, through the mattress and onto the carpet. The super king sized mattress is a write-off.

On the up side, dh says we can go bed shopping at ikea. Deep joy!

Not a dog, but a budgie.
It had a taste for lager and would sneakily land on my mum's pint glass, lean in and take a few sips. One time though, it leant too far and fell in.
There was also the time that it fell into the wallpaper paste. I can't remember how on earth that happened because it had lid on it but I do remember trying to wash the paste off its feathers with a smidge of washing-up liquid and a load of water. The vet struggled to keep a straight face when I was explaining what happened. Luckily it didn't suffer any I'll effects.
