The dog goes nuts over stuffed ducks. He got 1 for Christmas and chewed it apart. Todd bought another. It's been an endless battle. Maui rips the duck. Todd sews the duck back together... Yesterday the duck saw its demise. Maui brought the duck to Todd and plopped it on his lap. This means, "Play with me!" They started using the duck as a tug. The duck lost a wing. Maui picked up the duck and started swinging his head back and forth and then went back to Todd for more tug action. The duck lost its head. Maui thought this was cool. He now had three duck parts to play with. Not so fast dog..
While Todd was playing tug with Maui and the duck body, he was sharing with me his friend's dog trauma. Dave's dog Sasha has been ill for 6 weeks. An x-ray showed something in the dog's GI tract. They will be taking another x-ray this week to see if it moved. Dave thinks it may be a piece of rawhide stuck. Todd's telling me this story while allowing his dog to chew on small dismembered duck parts. I calmly told him that if Maui gets something stuck in his GI tract (like a duck part for example) we are not spending money on vet bills. We have enough human medical bills right now.
The duck pieces were immediately picked up and thrown in the garbage. Todd will be going to Petco today to buy the dog a new duck. Stupid dog.
Good thing you have a veterinarian for a sister. Poor Maui isn't going to meet his demise over a stuffed duck.
