I'm bad, I'm bad, and you know it. Or so Michael Jackson reckoned.

But I bet he never ate his best mate's breakfast, stole avocados from the tree, chewed a hole in the dog food container then threw it all up in the car.
‘Bad' reached all new levels in our household, as I've found my jaw has recovered very well from Dr Jorg and the lovely folk at Mount Mobile Vets so carefully patching me up.
Now I've been working overtime, chewing and chomping all manner of things, after weeks of inaction.
It could be worse, mind you. We heard a tale this week about a local Labrador who ate most of a long line and needed a whole lot of operations to sort out that mess.
Dogs, bait and fish hooks are quite a nasty combination.

Do you eat anything? I Do! Engagement ring in x-ray of a dog stomach.

Weird snacks
Which got me thinking, I wonder what are the worst things recorded, that dogs have eaten, and survived? Well according to Google, the 16 weirdest are:
1. 13 rocks. (Lab puppy who used to hang around a pond.)
2. Rubber ducky (Staffie, fighting over it with another dog, scoffed it to avoid losing)
3. 10 inch toy arrow, with sucker on the end. (Bull terrier, tired of playing cowboys and Indians)
4. Fish, with hook included (Shih tzu, wolfed a mackerel while out for a walk)
5. Homer Simpson (chocolate and plastic egg with figurine inside)
6. Two foot long stick (Great Dane pup, fetch game goes horribly wrong.)
7. Fork (Curious Husky stole from kitchen, pierced a vein, needed multiple transfusions but now ok.)
8. 15 inch serrated knife (Staffie, avoided cutting major organs and made a full recovery)
9. Magic Fairy Wand (Whippet, eventually made a magical recovery)
10. Engagement ring (lab pup, was followed around till ring, er, was recovered)
11. Soccer ball (Lab, keen eater, scored an own goal)
12. 130 nails (Basset Hound, left with a friend, found a box of nails and started scoffing)
13. Mobile Phone (Doberman/Great Dane, swallowed it whole. Phone had to be put down.)
14. Nine golf balls and a bullet. (Pointer/bloodhound was feeling a bit below par.)
15. Bottle cap, piece of basketball and 15 baby pacifiers. (English Bulldog, simply bad taste)
16. Toy Dog. (Spaniel, what else. Could be a form of cannibalism. Dog eat dog)
Take it easy out there, and remember - you are what you eat.
