Dogs ate pencil!!
Hi,
We just got back from errands, and had our two dogs in their crate. Apparently, one or both of them made a meal of a #2 pencil. They seem fine (not vomiting, etc) now, but was wondering if there was anything to worry about?? |

The wood gives me the creeps; however, dogs often chew on sticks they find on the ground. The metal band that binds the eraser to the wood could possibly pose a problem. Good luck.

Thanks for the info. That makes us feel much better! Luckily, it
looks like the metal and the eraser weren't very palitable to the mutts, as it was laying in the bottom of the cage. We did find lots of splintered wood and "lead", so it looks like they mostly just had fun chewing it up. We "punished" them tonight by clipping them and giving them a bath. Hee hee. |
