Eating weird stuff

Cane has an indiscriminate palate. His propensity to eat random objects may be tied to his time as a stray when he had to fend for himself. He eats wood like most dogs eat bones. He is quite skilled at catching yard lizards and will swallow them whole if he thinks a human is coming to take them away. Eating these types of items doesn’t seem that strange for a dog that lived in the great wide open at least three times before being picked up by “The Man”.


However, it’s the items not found in nature that are puzzling. Cane eats the stuffing out of his toys. He loves napkins and toilet paper so much that the TP rolls had to be relocated to high shelves in the bathroom. He has swallowed an entire woman’s style dress sock and munches on rubber hair ties.

Aside from the obvious possibility of choking, there is the problem of digestion. So far there have been no obstructions. Everything other then the sock has passed straight thru Cane to be deposited in the back yard. It makes for colorful and sometimes fluffy poo. And if you’re wondering what happened to the sock; vomited at 4am.
