Oh to have the strength of a canine intestinal track
Things Bryson has eaten in the last month:
Used q-tip (I don’t know if it had been used for ear cleaning or makeup removal, but neither seems hopeful.)
The stuffing of the couch cushions
The crumbs from the previous couch owner behind the couch cushions
Most of the tissues I had thrown away when I was sick
16 dog bones
The big toe portion of an athletic sock (I like to let that toe breathe, anyway.)
Leftover meatloaf (By leftover, I mean I made meatloaf about 8 weeks ago and, to avoid cleaning the pan, I put the leftovers in the refrigerator. Eight weeks later we finally threw it in the trash. Eight weeks later, Bryson found it in the trash. Explosive diarrhea at 2am followed.)
The carpet fibers that caught a spoonful of squash casserole I dropped
More dog hair than I care to recount
Half of his i.d. tag
Three dryer sheets (Probably not safe, but a dog whose breath smells like mountain springs isn’t a terrible thing.)
The depressing part? He stopped teething five months ago.

Natalie,
I just found that you had a blog. I have enjoyed reading it and catching up on you and Clayton’s life.
But we had this same problem with our dog, who just turned 3. He ate EVERYTHING for about the first year and a half. His favorite seemed to be socks and Sheena’s underwear. The funny thing is we normally didn’t know he ate them till he would throw them up a day later.
The poor dog has no “soft” toys anymore because he tears them open to eat the stuffing as well.
What is weird though, is that since we have had Colin, our dog doesn’t touch his baby toys. It is crazy because they are so much like dog toys, but he never touches them.
Hopefully Bryson will break that bad habit.
