A friend of mine (fellow writer) sent me this, and I had to do a re-post because I laughed so. Apparently, Groucho Marx, who was the King of the quick jokes, knew my male Husky.
Maui, a gentler soul you will never meet, sometimes suffers from separation anxiety. When this happens, he eats things. A week after we adopted him and his sister, he barfed up a baby bootie, a baby's sock, and then a full pair of baby's pants. Of late, he searches out our mail. Forget whatever other paper is laying around, he goes for the envelopes. It has happened less and less, and he is always penitent, but every now and then... His last episode ranged out to include a bag of bird seed in the laundry room, and in this I found that his sister (Miss Angel Face herself) helped him. The evidence of this was left in the dog run, and it truly made me laugh as I washed it down.
You rocked Groucho. You knew how to make people laugh in the most innocent of ways.

well, that, and back then people knew what comedy was and didn't get so easily offended by said comedy.
If someone said that as a game show host today they'd be fired from the show, sued by the contestant for sexual harrasment, sued by probably the ACLU, and somehow it would be twisted as being racist as well. All because people cant take a joke nowadays.

I would be concerned about whether he ate a baby to barf up those things. (And if I didn't keep the shed door locked, I guarantee you my dogs would eat all the bird seed and sprout wings! )
One time, my mother's therapy dog (who isn't certified, but knows her job when the harness is on) ate the used oil we had poured from the mower into a paint pan. Thankfully, my suicidal dog (a whole other story - he's got more lives than a cat) had taught us the usefulness of hydrogen peroxide. There was a black spot on the lawn for quite a while.
Mom always used to say, "It's darker than the inside of a cow!"
One of my brother's dogs, a Border Collie x Australian Shepherd, had a taste for old leather. Never touched a shoe, but he ate the straps off of a few old camera cases -- and more than one vintage holster.
One of my Australian Cattle Dogs ate most of a bag of black powder wads. They were wool felt greased with beef tallow and scented with peppermint oil -- candy for an AuCaDo! No permanent damage -- she lived another ten years...
