Things your Boxer Eats that he shouldn't

[Sandi]

Hmmm...Everything!

Actually both of mine will eat anything and everything they find. The word "NO" is part of the selective hearing vocabulary, either ones seems not ot hear that word!

Baxters' favs are:
1)Any type of towel or rag
2)Kitty Poop
3)BUGS, BUGS and more BUGS! Do not say the word B-U-G around Bax as he will search the house over looking for them

Bellas' favs are:
1)Coffee grounds/Tea Bags (I have to bury them in the bottom of the trash)
2)Pencils/pens (no more leaving them on our desks)
3)Red Chilie peppers- I HAD an arrangement hanging on my wall in the kitchen. Its now gone since Bella loves to get in the chair and knock it down and eat the peppers!

All time favorite:

SUGAR!!!

Both of them have raided my pantry on several occassions. I keep a huge tupperware tub containing about 6 lbs of sugar.
I now keep this container on the highest shelf I have since the day I came home to find both of them coated in "crystalized" sugar.
Baxter will drool every time I take this tub down and scoop out sugar. Bella just smacks her lips!

Good thing they are loved

KOBi eats everything!!!! As hard as I try to keep small things off the floor I still find all kinds of interesting things in is - well, you know. I have found a hair scrunchy, barbie clothes, crayons, the string from my sweat pants, rabbit poop, and anything that I'm eating. I thought that it was a puppy thing, but according to the other posts, it's jsut a boxer thing that he probably won't grow out of!!!

All of your posts are cracking me up !

Scout, fortunately, doesn't really eat anything he's not supposed to ANYMORE. However, when he was a pup, I came home from work and noticed the bowl of water I'd put in his crate was gone. I didn't think much of of it figuring my husband had removed it. That is, until I saw dark blue Tupperware in Scout's poop! He'd eaten the entire, very thick bowl without leaving so much as a crumb of plastic. Of course, I was worried sick ... called the vet ... yada yada yada. He was fine. From that point on, we only put the steel bowls in with him.

He still has a plastic fetish, though, he LOVES to play with water bottles and will take them out of your hand, water and all, and start running all over the place.

Lexi, on the other hand, is 2 and would eat us out of our home if she could. Let's just review what she's eaten in the past six months:

-Remote control
-2 throw rugs
-A bag of rice
-An $80 pair of shoes (I never even wore them!)
-A $60 pair of shoes that had just been dyed a few days before -
black dye was all over her and my new carpet!
-The bottom of my wooden tray holder
-A speaker cover (I didn't even know those were removable - how did she?!)
-A plate she managed to drag off the counter and break (I was really worried, but she was fine!)
-Countless paper towels
-The Taboo game
-A phone book
-Countless newspapers

And, I'm sure there are tons of things I just don't know about! She looks so sweet and innocent, but we lovingly refer to her as the devil dog!

:confused: When it comes to Brutus, the question should be what doesn't he eat??? I think he thinks he's human...He eats anything and everything!! The thing we have to really watch out for though is cigarette butts!! He gobbles them right down if they anywhere he can get at him. Our little girl decided to give him a hot and spicy pickle the other day...He Ate It!!!! and wanted another bite..He never ceases to amaze me!

He is the only canine I know that would actually drink beer and smoke the cigarettes if you let him!!

Tyson has a thing for sticks. You will go outside when he has been out and there will be sticks all over the lawn. I have got no idea where he gets them from but they do hurt him when they come out.

He also has a thing for Tissues and toilet paper. I have come home one day and he has been in the toilet and pulled the toilet paper out to the lounge room, in the kitchen and through the bedroom. He thought is was great!

Also plastic bags are wonderful things! I left the drawer that has all the freezer bags and stuff in it open one day. I came home to find he had emptied the draw for me. There would of been about 100 freezer bags through the house. Then when you try to pick them up he puts his big boofa feet on top of them so you can't pick them up. Just like it was some kind of game he invented!
