    My dog ate a full box of chocolates, including most of the box and wrapping paper and suffered no ill effects whatsoever, other than being sick.

    Oh and the vinyl flooring in the office. The only thing he has ever chewed and he well and truly trashed it. It was Christmas and he was not happy about being out of his normal routine.

    A labrador that we had could open the fridge and emptied it twice including the Sunday joint. The only thing left was lettuce - he never really liked that. He also stole a sandwich out of someone's hand in the park and we took him to Hyde Park once, but only the once. You know when little children swing their arms right back so they get a good throw on the duck bread....well Mr Helpful was running along behind them stealing the bread before they could throw it. He also completely ignored the sign that said "No Swimming" and pretended to be a swimming duck to get even more bread.

    My auntie's collie unzipped my gran's suitcase while she was staying one Christmas and scoffed a box of liqueur chocolates and all of my gran's sleeping pills. My auntie rang the vet who told her to keep a close watch on the dog. My auntie stayed awake all night watching the dog have a lovely sleep and he was no worse for his unusual snack the next morning. The half pound of butter that he stole did make him sick though. The Dundee cake and the half box of Roses that he stole from the Christmas hamper box also did him no harm.

    My half Burmese cat eats fleece blankets and radiator beds. I discovered this when I moved the tv cabinet for the Sky man and found cat puke containing her sleeping blanket behind the tv (oh the shame). Further investigation revealed giant holes in just about every fleece blanket that we owned as if we had been overrun by giant moths (it was summer so we hadn't been using the blankets). Her current tally of wreckage is 2 cat caves, 4 fleece blankets, 3 radiator beds, one fleece jacket, a Peppa Pig toy (disembowelled), a Care Bear (ditto) wooden window blinds (ends chewed off on one side) and there are teeth holes in my vertical blinds in the bedroom but that seems to have gone no further as we speak.

    Le Rustique Camembert left on the kitchen table to soften.

    Twice!!!

    Here dead we lie because we did not choose
    To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,
    And we were young.

    One of the vets where I work in the evenings told us that, in another vet's practice, she and a colleague had to remove a butt-plug from a dog's stomach...:eek:

    When talking to the owner they pretended that they didn't know what it was... Awkward. :rotfl:

    A boxer who ate the door frames, pulled the curtains down and ate the curtain hooks and then dug a hole in the carpet.

    I loved that dog dearly and miss him like mad! :D

    Latest boxer much better behaved and has only managed a barbie doll leg and half a toblerone.
