Ever put tinsel on your tree only to find later some missing? Then you go walk your dog and he does his business and then you see a string of tinsel hanging where its totally not supposed to be?

SORRY sick though I had just sitting here at work!

 

LOL! hahahahh
yup! I don't think there's anything you can do about it unless you catch the dog eating the stuff..

 

I am glad to say, she has never eaten anything like that.
Can be a bit messy when she eats long grass though. When it passes through it can tend to 'straggle' out of her arse (I have to pull it out ).

 

My dogs always get into the tree hangings. You are right that they treat it as part of a high fiber diet. When my kids were small we thought that they were taking all the candy canes off the tree. They denied that they touched any. Later on we caught our Lab helping himself to the candy canes.

We had a Jack Russell terrier that ate a WHOLE bunch of tinsel one year and it almost killed him. He had eaten so much, it was all blocked up in his intestines. The vet gave him some laxitives and, luckily, the dog finally crapped out a big ol' tinsel ball and was ok.

What's really funny is to find a sock in your dog's stool...

 

We always wrap up about a dozen dog toys for our dogs, Milo and PJ, and put them under the tree. Then we turn our backs for two seconds and Milo finds and opens each dog present, tearing off the wrapping furiously, having great fun, and proudly lining up the toys on the floor. It's amazing, he goes right to each dog toy, leaving the other presents under the tree untouched, even when we hide them in back of or under big, bulky people presents, which he unceremoneously shoves out of the way with his nose. We rewrap the toys, vow not to let him alone with the tree, and he does it again. This process is repeated several times before Christmas morning, when we say "OK Milo, go open your presents." It happens every year.

 

Its funny you should say that Raptor, our old poodle used to be able to spot his presents on christmas morning too - pretty spooky!

 

Tifosi Red-

Bingo! Milo and PJ are teacup poodles. They are so smart it's scary sometimes.

 

Our dogs check uder the tree daily and LOVE it when the tree goes up. All we have to say on Christmas morning is "IT's CHRISTMAS!" and the go find their gifts and rip them open. Our late cat Kokoe would be right in the thick of things finding the ones that were his and opening them too.
