The no-so-bright dog I speak of sometimes is a pound puppy. She's a good dog, but is not very bright. But what should I expect from a very cheap pet, right? Given her lack of intelligent life up top, we often refer to her by her acronym name: U-WODD, which stands for Useless Waste Of Dog DNA.
Well, this not-so-bright one pulled a very not-so-bright stunt last week. She ate one of my favorite dish towels. Red is my favorite color so I'm sure that's why she chose that particular one to ingest.
As you can imagine, dish towels are not very digestible. Especially when, it seems, you chase them with some rubber bands. It can make a nasty mess in the intestinal tract of an animal. So after multiple x-rays, several medications, a barium series, and finally a nice abdominal surgery followed by several days in the hospital we have our not-so-bright but cheap pet back. She's recovering nicely, but that's turned out to be one very expensive dish towel that I'll never use again!
UGH! Dogs....more trouble than than are worth!
