Not the Only Goat in Town

12th December 2007

Plinko, with my daughter’s slipper in her mouth.I am feeling somewhat better about my little goat Plinko this morning. Although she has continued her eating frenzy over the past few days, I am learning by visiting other blogs, that she is not the only puppy to eat everything in sight.

This morning, in a matter of 10 minutes, she had found (I have no idea where) and chewed a Hershey’s Crunch fabric key chain and a plastic dress for a Barbie doll. The dress had the two sleeves chewed off but I found them on the floor, so at least I know I won’t be having to watch for her to poop them out. We try to so hard to make sure everything is picked up and put away so that she can’t get herself into trouble, and yet, she always seems to have something she’s not supposed to have. How does she do it?

While my mom and sister were here it was crazy. There seemed to be an abundance of used tissues about and Plinko was finding them and shredding them on a regular basis. She also discovered that if the bathroom door was left open she could get things out of the trash. We all know the kinds of things that are in a bathroom trash can, so I won’t bother going into detail. I’m still wondering what that white thing was Plinko swallowed on Monday, I might never know!

This morning I learned of another puppy who very much enjoys eating a variety of paper products. I feel a comradery with Jessica at Around the Hydrant after learning of all the items her puppy has eaten, including styrofoam peanuts. How does she know he ate the peanuts? Well, let’s just say that the puppy pooped peanut shaped pellets! For the full story, please be sure to give her a visit.

Yes, I am thinking she was a goat in a previous life! I think she definitely has some goat DNA in her.

I love that we’ve found your goat - It sure does help to know my dog’s bizarre habits aren’t unheard of, and cannot stop laughing at your descriptions of all that your pup gets into!

I’ll be sure to be in touch if I ever find a way to stop my Porter from getting into the bathroom trash - and beyond! In the meantime, I look forward to reading more about your adventures
Jessica’s last blog post..You pulled what?! From where?!

Jessica - I am so glad you found my site because then I found yours! I am bookmarking you and adding you to my feed. Our dogs have way to much in common to not share stories!

Ollie loves to dig stuff out of the bathroom trash, so Plinko is not alone in her love for tissue.

Corrin - Thankfully our kitchen trash has a good lid on it to keep the dog out! The last thing she ate (that I know of) was a sock. I know this because she threw it up the other day on the family room carpet!
