And if we're sharing stories, one of my college room mates got a dog when we lived together in a house off campus. Her dog manged to get into the bathroom trash and ate a whole bunch of used tampons. She shat out seven bloody tampons over the course of three days. So sick.
Love this thread. Childhood lab: half a chocolate cake, no ill effects. An entire frozen turkey that was defrosting for thanksgiving, no ill effects. Childhood bulldog: box of chocolates, ended up in the hospital. DH's childhood husky: entire bird, snatched out of the air and swallowed alive. DH says the dog looked pretty surprised and uncomfortable for a couple minutes, but otherwise fine. Mom's current dogs: one bulldog emergency surgery for rock in intestines, one mystery mutt emergency surgery for stuffed animal in intestines. My 25 lb dog: rabbit chomped down as soon as she realized I wanted to take it away from her. Shockingly, no ill effects despite the fact that the rabbit was pretty much a fifth of her size.
Moral of the story, don't feel bad. Dogs are willing to risk it all for highly questionable snacks.

You have no idea how often this happens.
My dog loves tampons, it is the most disgusting. I guess I should count my blessings she is just chewing and not swallowing.
this thread has been amusing. Glad your dog is ok.
I grew up always having a dog. Not one ever ate anything except food. I never realized dogs ate all of this stuff. One of our collies got into leftover easter candy once. My cat was a sucker for chips, but you had to put dip on it first and hold it for him. He's lick all of the dip off and then eat the chip. The wait for another.

My friend had a huge bulldog. She bought an expensive vibrator. One day her mom called her into the living room and asked her to explain herself. Her bulldog found the vibrator, chewed it and then left it in the living room. Her little brother discovered it first and told their mom. She was beyond embarrassed and pissed.

Yep. I worked as a vet assistant in college and used tampons and underwear were by far the most common items removed from dogs.
My dog was obsessed with candles. Like he sought them out and consumed them.
