This story about the yellow lab, Jack, who ate a full set of alphabet refrigerator magnets made me laugh. Of course, it wasn't funny that he needed surgery to remove them, but I did think it amusing that he ate the magnets right after getting castrated. Acting out a bit, were you Jack? Trying to express a little hostility? Can you spell b-a-d d-o-g? Jack spells instead "N-o-t a b-a-d d-o-g. J-u-s-t m-i-s-u-n-d-e-r-s-t-o-o-d". He's fine after the surgery, but will poor Jack ever be happy again? Will be ever find a girl who will love him for just his personality alone?
Then, there's Deefer, the bull mastiff in Nottingham, whose life of crime as a pants' thief escalated into actually eating a pair. I wonder if the Sheriff of Nottingham knows about this guy's activities? Perhaps, his real name is Reefer, and his theft is to pay for his drug habit? Just like Jack, Deefer, also had to have surgery to remove his meal, and he, too, is doing fine. His owner's comments were that it was a new house rule never to leave any underwear laying around. This, of course, would be just in case Deefer tried to steal and/or eat them. Gee, that's one way to get your family to put their clothes in the laundry.
Last of all, we have a springer spaniel, Barney. He was apparently both so hungry, and so eager to please. that everything thrown at him became a treat to be eaten. Can you imagine hearing a belly full of rocks rattling around inside your doggy? Once again modern veterinary medicine saves the day, and, post-surgery, Barney's a happy, healthy, hungry dog again. I just hope someone doesn't say "Here Barney, fetch that Volkswagon!"
