Last night I found an empty Orbit box on the floor. I had just opened it earlier and left it on the
table. The new pup had jumped on a chair and gotten the package. She then ate about twelve pieces,
paper and all.

This morning I picked her up from the emergency room where she'd been 'flushed'. That was a $550
lesson.

Live and learn. I, of course, realize that most here are way too bright to ever do such a thing.

Our cats go after the green house plants. We have none that are
poisonous to cats, but a couple of the plants make them upchuck. I don't
think any of them would "go for" a pack of gum, but one of them
definitely likes small green olives with pimentos.

Glad your dog survived.
