ROBERT SCHNECK WRITES: I'm glad Biggles is feeling better. I once got my Cairn terrier's stomach pumped after she ate mothballs that someone left outside to drive away skunks (at least I assume that's why they were out there).After the doctor gave her back to us, he presented us with a Bart Simpson puppet that she had swallowed at some earlier time.
Eeew what did you do with it? No doubt she denied all knowledge of ever seeing it before?
ReplyDeleteActually, the vet asked for it. The clinic has a bulletin board where they display the more interesting odds and ends that come out of their patients.
ReplyDeleteHow she swallowed it is beyond me. It was a thick rubber head the size of a handball with that spiky Bart Simpson hair on top and Possum (my Cairn was named Possum) managed to get it down. The strange part is that she couldn't swallow the smallest pill if it wasn't wrapped in a half-pound of peanut butter.
