[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I foster small breed dogs and had a 10 lb. yorkie mix foster once who chewed…and eventually pooped out…the following things: top of one rubber flip flop, part of the top of husband's expensive leather sandals, fabric banding around a stair tread, a large piece torn from DD's underwear, and other stuff I can't remember. I had no idea she ate everything in sight until she had been with me for weeks. Ignore the snarky PP. A determined dog will eat anything, no matter how much you "dog proof."  You sound like a great owner for even being willing to pay for the medical procedures to see if your dog was okay. Many owners wouldn't.[/quote]

Thank you. And he's got some Yorkie in him - I'm seeing a theme here :)

The other PP had a point though, and struck a nerve. I should not have been as patient with my husband. I forgot how dogs can be perpetual toddlers and I would have never let him get away with this when the babies were little and everything went into their mouths.

It's important to respect one's spouse, yes, but it's more important that all members of the family are as safe as possible.  One thing I will say about this is my husband is the kindest person when it comes to animals, once running through an ice storm in his boxers (explain THAT to the neighbors!) to get a dog that had been hiding in our bushes. Apparently, it had been lost for two days and was very skittish. It snapped at my husband more than a few times but he persevered and rescued that boy (and found his home - the vet contacted the owners who had been frantically looking as well).  A woman who lived a few blocks away was kind enough to drive my husband back to our house with the dog (in his underwear no less, after her husband called me to confirm he wasn't a masher and was indeed my husband and that his tale was true).

So while I'm frustrated with him now, he's a good man. And is more than willing to spend the money to make things right again. Gotta love that.[/quote]
