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!

At 5 months my poodle ate two fun sized mars bars, packet and all. I rang the vet who wasn't too concerned because there isn't that much chocolate around a fun sized mars bar...I was more concerned about the packets! Two days later the packets started 'appearing'...they were not easy for the dog to expell and they were completely white, all the ink having been removed during the digestion process. She's terrible, leave a chair slightly away from the table and she's up there eating anything she can get her paws on. Huge fan of expensive cheese!

I came back home the other day to find the dogs absolutely desperate for a drink, they'd finished their water, drunk the water from the loo and they couldn't get outside fast enough drink from the puddles. Having had a quick look round the house but seeing nothing wrong, I just put it down to one of the weird things that dogs do.

Fast forward a few hours, DH goes into the study where we'd been storing a leg of Prosciutto safely or so we thought out of the dogs' reach. Bastarding dogs had somehow managed to knock the leg off, probably by hurling themselves repeatedly at the shelves till it fell. Luckily I'd obviously interrupted their ill gotten snack before they ate too much otherwise I think we would've been looking at kidney damage from the salt. served them right, I bloody love Prosciutto

I popped over to my parents once, they weren't in so I let myself in to grab something and their thick dog shot out of the house and drank the entire contents of the bird birth. I was really confused until I saw the shredded box that used to contain 24 oxo cubes.

Things my beagles are:

A whole raw onion
Half a pound of cheddar
A garden full of windfall crab apples
Cat litter
My dinner, if I didn't bloody watch them
All the strawberries I had lovingly grown
Six ornamental cabbages

I'm sure I have forgotten some, too

Boiled a dozen eggs for the week and shelled it and left it on the counter. I was talking to my DH in the other room for about 15 mins to let the eggs cool before storing it in the fridge. I come back to see an empty bowll and a smiling Lab. Oh the squits that night... Wrote off my nice rug and we now have a cheap ass 50 quid one off Amazon. Love him to bits. :)

Just remembered a couple.

When I visit the eye hospital the lady on reception has her guide dog Stevie with her. We always ask first and he is not in harness but we buy biscuits and put them on the reception table. He knows he is not allowed to eat it without permission from his owner and we are in hysterics watching his lab nose doing contortions to get the best smell of it.

This only lasts a few seconds, we wouldn't deprive him.

The other is a rescue dog. Dp at the time and I were having a beer and he whined and whined and we had no idea what for - it was for the beer can.

He loved an empty beer can, would put his paw on top and pull the tag off and drink any left over been.

You could not kid him with a can of coke and if one was drinking strong beer and the other not so strong he would whine for the special brew.

Labs will eat ANYTHING. Now she has a taste for sugar I suggest a set of cupboard locks (or a door lock for the kitchen) and store all your chocolate on the very top shelves.

He turned his nose up at a box of Special K DH had left on the worktops.
Even a creature that views his own vomit as second breakfast has standards.

Crying at this...

My lab loves a good steal... he's eaten whole chicken carcasses, rib bones, a bag of potatoes and his absolute favourite is bread and butter as in the whole loaf and the whole packet (can't fault hime really) He's been better since I've started leaving his food tub open at night and doesn't eat it all in one go (he only steals at night and I think it's sometimes a protest about something) my Nanna's rescue lab never got out of scavenging she was a roly poly lab and would eat till she was sick, still she was one of the best dogs you wish for!

This has reminded me why I definitely don't want a dog yes I do but I'm giving myself a proper talking to after this. Our family dog - red setter - as a child used to eat everything. My DM used to cook an extra Christmas cake and hide them in different places because she would invariably find and eat one of them (plus foil). She also raided the leftover cabbage from a nearby canteen bin and ended up with bloat and would have had to have a needle put in her side to expel the gas and stop her exploding if she hadn't done the mother of all farts on the way to the vets

The family Labrador had the curse of all Labradors - compulsive poo eating. Eeeeeuw

Sorry but this has made me laugh a LOT! I feel your pain at the mattress though, we used to have a Jack X Staffy that routinely ate her way through anything she could get her paws on... a large bottle of cooking oil yielded fairly impressive results, and several years ago she got hold of all the Christmas chocolate 😳

I think I might win this one........

Several tampons out of the bathroom bin (all wrapped up in disposal bags). He was valiantly trying to chow the last one down as I arrived home. Cue an emergency dash to the vet 15 miles away which the hound thought VERY exciting, until he was made to be copiously sick in the lane outside. No lasting ill effects, bathroom door is kept firmly closed now. He is a minger.

When I had salmonella poisoning over 20 years ago, I had to poo in a bucket so my mum could then take a sample to get analysed by the hospital.

When she went to the bathroom to collect my poo, it had disappeared.

Our puppy had eaten it

My setter also opened the cereal cupboard and took a packet of Rice Krispies
He didn't even eat them
Can I say, there are a lot of individual Rice Krispies in the 750g pack

My dog likes to eat poo however he excelled himself on the day he ate a full poo bag. So the next day we got a poo in a bag in a poo!

I'd forgotten about the poo. Not her own poo or another dog's poo but DD's poo. Potty training was a particularly bountiful time for DDog.

It's not just dogs.
I give you my cat and the Chilli Beef Burger Episode.
They were nasty burgers, waaay to oily for my taste. I ate half, gave up and put my plate down on the floor and went to get a drink. My mistake...
Up comes Stupid Cat. Mmm, says Stupid Cat. That smells nice!
Stupid cat takes big bite, then starts shaking her head like it's going to fall off. She spits out burger.
Two minutes later she's sniffing again. Mmmm smells nice...
Aaargh tastes nasty! Cue more head shaking and spitting out.
She went back to my plate two more times and did the same thing.
I threw the burger in the bin at that point and put my plate by the sink. Up jumps Stupid Cat, she sniffs the plate and then proceeds to lick some of the oil out of the burger that had dribbled onto the plate.
It was basically beef juice and chilli oil.
Stupid Cat.
She's also had a go at cake, cheese, sausages, my toddlers ham sandwiches, a VEGETARIAN salad and most recently some curry left overs.
I don't think I'd cope with a lab, my cat is bad enough. And she shits all over my lawn.

Oh god yes, the potty training times! Countless poos went missing in our house. Regurgitated breast milk seemed to be firm favourite too (bork)

Can you guess what happens when a dog eats a packet of crayons?

Sadly, Jelly, I don't need to guess.

Well ddog has clearly recovered from the sugar incident. He has just casually wandered into the living room carrying a block of butter. He has no shame. NO SHAME.

I once heard a commotion and entered my kitchen to find my labradoodle running round and round the island unit with a whole roast chicken in his mouth, with the golden retriever and the Bichon cross in hot pursuit.

Another time I realised it had gone suspiciously quiet and found then-toddler DS2 and our Cavalier King Charles sharing a packet of coco pops.

We currently have a Boston terrier who to date has eaten shoes, books, cds (that was today), windfall apples, something mysterious in the garden that nearly killed her and a tube of superglue.

The labradoodle regularly helps himself to the leftover Yorkshire puddings after Sunday dinner.

But the best was when he found a packet of popping candy in DS2's bedroom. He came downstairs whining and foaming at the mouth. I thought he'd got rabies.

Oh god, then there was the manky mixamatosis-infested rabbit he found on a walk. He was so delighted with himself, I was freaking out, the rabbit kept playing dead, nearly escaping, then being recaught again.

Daft dog ate it in the end , then spent the next day groaning in the garden before throwing up a gallon of brown furry bunny-puke.

It was fucking disgusting.

First Christmas we had our dog - he got into the lounge and ate the kids selection boxes ( yes it was an expensive vet being called on Christmas Day) and some tinsel off the tree.

He was shitting shiny morse code for days

Shiny dot shiny dash shiny dot

Bella maybe he's assembling the ingredients for a sponge cake?
