Part goat
First up a brief apology about not being great on the posting the last month, I’ve had some health issues which are slowly being sorted but have meant a reduction in my online presence. I plan to change this over the next few months and appreciate those that have stuck with me through this. So, rather unusal of late it’s time for a new post on woofbarkwag.
Labradors are known for being greedy so and so’s when it comes to food, they will literally eat themselves into coffee table bodies. Dillon is no different and neither is Barley. Yesterday Dillon decided to snack on an entire banana skin stalk and all. Just as soon as we noticed he had it. he did a snake impression and gulped it down in one. The usual fear of blockages and vet visits thanks to a stupid dog did come across our minds. He seemed to be gagging a little so we just paid attention to him that night. Today he was fine and had a snack of exactly the same type with another entire banana skin. It’s another little reminder of how a dog is a survivor and designed that way.
A few things came to mind with his particular latest snack food. It not only made me realise we all should be a little careful about what we do drop outside, that aside though it highlights the robust nature of dogs. As owners we are all aware of the fact that it’s not just Labradors but dogs in general are scavengers by nature and will literally eat anything. We are always conscious of what is about and careful that they don’t eat themselves to an emergency vet visit. However, we often forget they are not that delicate in nature. Dillon for instance has eaten an entire Kong toy before along with walls, various wood furniture and many other random odd substances. He’s always survived and their stomaches aren’t as delicate as ours.
