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

[BellaGoth]

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!

We had an evil bastard cat who could open the fridge door (the dining table was within stretching distance until we learnt our lesson) He dragged out and savaged a pound of sausages, the ham for lunch and had the chicken under the table, growling at us. God he was a cunt.

This made me laugh glad d dog is ok though :) our dog will eat basically anything including the food off your plate if you leave it unattended even briefly she's also find of going in the bin and in the past has not being adverse to eating the contents of a nappy

One of our dogs thinks the kitty litter tray is a biscuit tin.

One of our Goldies ate the frozen Turkey that had been left overnight xmas eve to defrost.
No ill effects whatsoever ( apart from us having a crap xmas dinner)

My friends dog ate a box of condoms... luckily there were only four left in the box but we did joke that he was trying to bag the poop up in advance as they exited together. (Dog was completely unharmed and she didn't realise he'd eaten them until they reappeared!)

Sorry for the radio silence, been sorting out the new mattress!

Your tales of woe have made me feel much better, so thank you!

Ddog is a rescue with a very turbulent past, we are his 4th home and he was only 9 months old when he came to us in April.we know he had been straying so we're pretty used to the scavenging and keep everything out of reach. I just never considered he'd eat a whole bag of sugar!

I'm now eyeing the rest of the kitchen with suspicion. Are my tea bags safe?

My SIL's labrador has a habit of eating knickers. They come out the other end whole. I did once cheekily ask her if they got washed & worn again. Apparently not

We had a dog that ate half of my sister's sixth birthday cake, it was pink and in the shape of a castle. Mum had to do some major repair work! We also had my grandparents' dog with us for a while, dogs were shut in the kitchen while we went out, we came back to find he'd destroyed the kitchen door....and ripped the ears off my poor teddy. I can still remember hugging teddy in tears but my granny was able to fix him.

My dad had a boxer that ate many, many tbings.
Soap was a favourite.

A large tub of dried milk powder.

A tub of dried yeast (vet said just don't give her any sugar)

A 1kg tub of marg. She shat oil for days.

Pulled all the trout flies out of dad's fishing hat, complete with barbed hooks, destroying his hat, leaving the hooks embedded in the carpet... without a single scratch on her.

Bella he's a dog, a labarador at that, nothing is safe. Sorry!

When our lab was a puppy he stole an enormous load of sausages, plastic wrapped, which I had left on the side to defrost before Christmas. Needless to say the plastic worked it's way through, at least partially through, and chasing round after him trying to extract a meter of cling film from his arse was a memorable activity!

He also crapped all over our bed the other night when we had that massive thunderstorm. He literally pooed himself in fear, poor dog.

DDog broke into the tent.
Unwrapped a box of After Eights and delicately picked each one out of its paper sleeve... Impressive.

A Labrador will stop at nothing - tea bags are not safe!

If it makes you feel any better, our old lab once opened the kitchen cupboard and ate 2kg of raw potatoes and 1kg of raw carrots in one sitting.....

sweatydog eats remnants of burst balloons. You won't believe how many she finds in parks and streets.

Its colourful and at least I can see we she has shat.

We have a child lock on our fridge for this very reason.
I forgot to put the lock on the other day and came home to find ddog had eaten...a packet of quorn sausages, a block of goats cheese, a packet of green beans and a box of felafel. Yum. I interrupted him just before he got the macaroni cheese he was obviously gutted

My dog broke into the kitchen and ate 16 mini kinder chocolate bars including foil wrappers and the cardboard outer box, a naan bread, 4 poppadoms and some tuna a few weeks ago. He managed to break 3 bowls and 2 glasses in the process. I thought he was going to be slightly ill at least but somehow he sailed through the experience completely unscathed.

Our DDog was also a rescue, and used to scavenging for food.

We got him at Christmas, and in the time it took to leave the kitchen and open the door to guests, he ate the bottom layer of cakes from our sizeable cake stand and half a semi frozen loaf of bread. The end result was loud burps alternated with copious amounts of diarrhoea.

His food theft got so bad that DF put baby locks on the fridge. Then he learnt how to get past them, so we had to go for a baby lock/sack of potatoes in front of the fridge combo.

It didn't work though, he still managed to eat an assorted selection of Langley Farm yogurts. I miss DDog, he was ace.

My Nan's much loved Labrador faked a heart attack on Christmas Day.

She went running out for the vet.

Came back with the vet to find he'd eaten the beautifully cooked turkey. He'd opened the oven.

Lived another 2 years.

Reminds me of this. Not my story but it makes me laugh way too much every time I'm reminded of it and read it.

dudsville, I have tiny dogs - Italian greyhounds. Just rehomed a taller boy who can leap onto all the kitchen surfaces. I am having to shut them all out of the kitchen. He is lethal!

What is it with throwing up on beds?
Our Weimaraner will steal anything. After pilfering a whole block of butter once she went around the house and vomited on five beds, and a sofa.

Oh my these dogs! They all seem to eat most things aye. Ours is currently spending most of his time trying to eat our lounge rug when we are not looking .

I made anzac biscuits for the school cake sale, the dog got them overnight and ate at least 30 biscuits. I was quite concerned about the after effects as he has a dodgy tummy and isn't supposed to have cereals, dairy or fat so eating a shit load of oats and butter wasn't ideal. In the end it was nothing worse than looking pregnant for a couple of days and doing farts that cleared the room for a week. So it worked out better than the time he managed to get a whole block of butter, kept it in his stomach just long enough for it to go rancid and then threw it up in the hall so that the whole house smelled of rancid butter for days even though I mopped and wiped the floor loads of times.

This thread is making me very happy that our dog isn't allowed upstairs, so at least he can't puke on the beds. He has short little legs and a long, barrel-chested body (Glen of Imaal terrier) and stairs aren't very safe for him going down, so we keep him downstairs.

We say Boy cat used to be a lab in a previous life.

I once bought 4 very thick, large pork chops for a nice dinner. Left them in the bag on the worktop (instead of in the microwave where I normally leave things to defrost overnight). Got up the next day to find three chops, one piece of bone and the rind from the fourth chop left.

Cat slept solidly all day and didn't beg for food once.

He also goes nuts when I make spag bol and begs for it when I'm cooking it and when we are eating. He gets the leftovers with the onion taken out. He loves cooked tomatoes.
