Author Topic: I can't believe my dog ate my socks! Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 04-09-2003 04:24 PM                        "Dachshund" is German and means "badger dog". They were bred with the pointy snout so they could be inserted into the badger`s tunnelly lair to extract the badger.  |  IP: Logged Paul Goulet Master Film Handler Posts: 347 From: Rhode Island Registered: Jan 2000 posted 04-09-2003 05:16 PM                        To answer a few Questions.. **Two-Tone isn't a puppy. she is 6 years old. **And yes, she did eat both socks, the WHOLE sock! **I think she ate it out of boredom, she is usually alone during the day for a few hours. However, I do leave the TV on for her when I'm Not at home (The Animal Planet channel, of course) **I should buy her some new toys..I think she ate all the other ones! quote: Yeah Paul... you NEED to wash them once in awhile...so they are NOT so "attractive"! ..I'll try that and see if that works!

Last summer, I lost my cat. She was 19 years old. She is buried in the yard in a spot where she used to like to go and sleep. I hope she is happy there. After I got over the shock of her death, I was moving furniture around one day. I moved my big 1960-era RCA color TV and found a ton of socks and underwear where the TV had been. The TV had sat there for almost 15 years. I had no idea that she had been hoarding socks. Funny thing, she had snatched mostly clean sock pairs. All that time, I thought that I was just being awfully hard on socks, and that my washing machine had been eating them. I threw the socks out. She had done something else all over them. I'm amazed that I never noticed a smell...  |  IP: Logged Bernard Tonks Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 619 From: Cranleigh, Surrey, England Registered: Apr 2001 posted 04-09-2003 06:36 PM                     Knife-swalling puppy bounces back to health. A puppy has bounced back to health just days after swallowing a kitchen knife the length of his body. Jake, a 12-week-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross, was taken to the vet when he began vomiting and trying to keep his body in a straight line. X-rays showed why the puppy was so reluctant to curl up - a seven-inch knife was running through his body, with the plastic handle at the base of his pelvis and the metal point at the top of his throat. Jake had swallowed the Shappu 2000 knife whole, handle-first, at his home in Huyton, Merseyside. Vets at the nearby People's Dispensary for Sick Animals hospital operated immediately to remove the knife and Jake was back to his playful self within days. Senior vet Christina Symonds said: "The knife went from his oesophagus, passed behind the larynx and right through his stomach down into the bowel. "Dogs are always swallowing strange things, from kebab sticks to corn-on-the-cobs to tape cassettes, but this was particularly unusual because it was such a large knife in a small puppy. It really did run the length of his body. "If he had swallowed the knife blade-first, it would have caused more damage but then again he would have stopped before eating the whole thing!" Owner John Mallett, 22, said: "When the vet told me it was a knife I was in total shock. I couldn't understand how he could fit it in. "He's come through the operation really well and he's totally back to his old self. The PDSA did a really good job and I'm just pleased and relieved that he's OK."  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-09-2003 07:53 PM                     My mother would say, "See!!

Thank you for the information regards the German details about the dachshunds. What other names are they called in Germany, I have heard of them being called "teckels", anything else? The burrowing instinct is very strong in my 2 miniatures, if they find a rabbit hole they go straight into it, they constantly bark when underground to tell where they are, coming out only when THEY are ready. Being short- legged scent hounds they can follow a scent with ease, once they find a scent they are like Paul T`s beagles, they mind goes entirely on the scent, so they cannot be walked off a leash in the city near roads. Hope to learn some more details from you. John Spooner. (the skunk).  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 04-10-2003 01:06 PM                        Actually the term "Dachshund" is rarely used in German. They are mostly called "Dackel". Pronounced like "duck", not like "deck".  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 04-11-2003 04:22 AM                        One evening a few years back my cat, Mogzilla, started taking an interest in the glass of whisky I had just poured myself. She sniffed at it quite intensely, and must have inhaled some fumes, because she was walking around quite unsteadily for the next hour or so! I don't think she actually swallowed any, which is just as well: that alcohol concentration is bad enough for human livers, and in a feline one I'd guess it would probably cause fatal alcohol poisoning. The cat had good taste, though - the dram in question was of cask strength Talisker, the bottle in question having been given to me by a friend after I removed a virus from her computer.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 04-11-2003 04:28 AM                  One of my ferrets used to love my Rum & Cokes....

Whether it is their way of saying "I didn't want to be washed" or it is the need to rid themsleves of the soap or doggie shampoo odour I have no idea. We have a 18 month old ACD (Aust Cattle Dog) and it just cannot go past any dead goannas laying in the bush or roads without doing a shoulder roll in the carcass and then prancing about almost saying "I smell lovely". We almost fall over with the smell and go get the hose. It also loves the smell of feet and gets to my toes when I kick off my scuffs and goes over each and every toe licking meticuosly. Frequently when I cannot find my scuffs they are in her bed and she often sleeps with her nose inside them... yuk even I can't stand the smell somedays. There is a bit of Dalmation in the ACD breeding which gives them their sometimes spotty look and after all the things this pup of ours has eaten in 15 months I am not surprised Paul's ate his socks. Ours has demolished plastic buckets and plant pots and the bits just go straight thru... must have an iron gut these dogs. It ran into a plastic garden sprinkler one day, snapping it off at ground level. When I went to repair the break there was about a foot of the thing missing and dog's teeth marks all over it. No prizes for guessing where the chewed up bits ended up... in the dogs droppings. While I am typing this she is sleeping on my feet "gotta be crazy I am a Cattle Dog" Lindsay  |  IP: Logged Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 04-11-2003 03:16 PM                     Along time ago, a Beagle I had knocked over a full can of beer. It lapped up the full can's contents. I noticed something wea wrong when he tried to walk. His rear end would catch his face. Beagles have not been known for coordination anyway. He acted like he had 10 feet completely out of synchronization with each other.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-11-2003 04:17 PM                     I have had several dogs that really LOVED to drink beer. I think they like the taste but don't have the perception to tell if they are getting drunk until it's too late. One dog would drink practically a whole six pack of beer by himself. He would get all "wound up" and want to wrestle and chase us kids around the yard. He would get so out of control we had to lock him up until he finally slept it off. The other would drink beer out of a frisbee and then want to play "catch". After the first frisbee full of beer he would start to make these great, flying leaps like you see those championship frisbee dogs make on TV. Then he'd get more and more drunk. Before long, he'd hardly be able to walk and he'd lie down somewhere and sleep for the rest of the day. As far as I can tell, I don't think I've ever seen a dog with a hangover, though.  |  IP: Logged
