Random Thought

Why do dogs eat their own puke? I mean, there is a reason you puked it up in the first place!

Doggie Puke

Last night our dog Jake decided to spice up the lives of my wife and I. He sneaked into the bathroom and stole an "undergarment" and was running around with it. I have to admit that it was pretty funny until he decided that he was a big hungry and swallowed it whole. Seriously, it took about 2 seconds and it disappeared.
Initially I wasn't sure if i should laugh at him swallowing underwear or be worried about the repercussions in the digestive track. We did some quick research and found out that inducing vomiting in dogs is relatively easy.
Step 1: Fill squirt bottle w/ 1/4 cup of peroxide
Step 2: Bring dog into bathroom and pick up any items on the floor you don't want doggie puke on
Step 3: Hold up your dog's mouth and squirt the peroxide into his mouth so he swallows it
Step 4: Wait about 3 minutes
Step 5: Dog pukes
Step 6: Grab the swallowed object off of the floor as soon as you see it so your dog doesn't try to eat it again.

It most definitely seemed mean to induce vomiting in our dog, but the alternative of having to possibly take him to the vet for an operation for bowel obstruction seemed much worse. And Jake is no worse for the wear the next morning.
Needless to say, Jake will not be allowed to run around with a piece of clothing any smaller than a pair of coveralls. :)
