Dusty bin
« on: February 15, 2008, 11:24:58 PM »
Does your cocker eat all manner of things they shouldn't - Dax is a bit like a hoover  :005: he gobbled a lollipop wrapper today - down the hatch it went before I could stop him and you would think it was a roast beef dinner to see him chomp!  :005: Back to the rubber gloves ... need I say more?  :005:

Yep...we said we should have called Lola "Womble " as she eats anything in her path..we dont go for road walks we go on scavenge hunts  >:(
neither of mine even look where they are going they are too busy looking at the ground to see what they can eat  ::)
Lola ate a slice of cheese from a cheeseburger still with the sellophane wrapper on  :o before i had a chance to swop it she swallowed it  :-\
it did come out the other end though  ph34r

yuk - the other end  :005: I guess it's the gun dog instinct - you're right - the nose is generally glued to the floor but then he stops and sit and have a good look round about floor height - then off he goes again - nose down of course!  :005:

My last cocker Groove ate a whole sock once, we had to assist when it naturally found it's way through  >:(
Eric is also like a hoover, he'll have a go at anything and as soon as he realises that you have caught him it goes straight down the hatch. I have nicknamed him Mr Snuffleuppagus (for those that remember sesame street)  because of the way he goes snuffling around the ground looking for goodies :005:

OMG this so reminded me of when we looking after my mates dog. She ate a carrier bag and the first we knew of it was when it began to make a reapopearance but got stuck. She was running round the garden in a blind panic and all we could do was stand still as she wouldn't let us near her. When she hurtle passed my OH stood on the bit that was out and thankfully the rest made a reappearance. Once I got over the shock and we checked she was ok I fell apart laughing and was incontrollable for the rest of the night  :005: :005: :005: :005: :005: :005:

Charley is very particular about what he eats, fortunately.  He's not food orientated and his staple diet is Frolic.  This is always on tap and he can eat it as he wants,  I top his bowl up every couple of days.  I always give him something that I'm having in the evening and he often won't eat all of it if it's too much.  He likes turkey, and I usually give him the breast as I find it too dry.  He will eat so much, and then leave the rest until later.

Charley is not overweight.

Rupert dug up a piece of soggy bread the other day that some animal had carefully stored, but I have found if I give him something to carry on the way home like an old glove he is so intent on carrying it that I can get him past old bits of food or plastic.

thank god - I thought it was just Bracken !!!

She never looks wheres she going when out on lead walks, just bimbles along with her head down and following her nose - the rubbish shes picked up on walks and I've had to get out of her mouth before she swallows it is unbelievable!! 
Her fave thing is dead mice left out by the neighbourhood cats tho, specially in the morning when they've been on the hunt all night urrgghh!

Coco ate 2 of those fat balls you put out for the birds last week - I think she ate the green plastic mesh bags too although I have yet to see them reappear.  :-\ Her poo was full of bird seed for a couple of days though  ::) :005:
