My sweet little Maisie is a glutton for punishment, in the most literal sense of the cliched phrase.
If there was a t.v. show called My Strange Addiction: Puppy Version, sister Moo would totally qualify.
She loves to eat stuffing from her doggy toys. Since we discovered this we've only been buying stuffing-less toys or toys with the tiniest amount.
Still, she finds the stuffing.
Maisie can sniff out stuffing before we've even brought it through the door.
Just this morning, Hub was reshaping the back pillow of a chair, so he unzipped the cover. The millisecond after he made that decision, Maisie ran, jumped, and stole a piece of stuffing right from the pillow, and ran away at lightening speed. She spent Sunday barely moving, and still she goes after the stuff.
Saturday when we were out, she sneaked a toy with stuffing, ripped it to shreds, and ate the delicious cottony inside. (Gross).
We discovered her bad behavior when we returned to find the toy torn up, and our suspicions were confirmed later when she began regurgitating the eaten stuffing. (Even More Gross).
What happens to the poor pup is that she eats the stuffing, vomits, feels bad, vomits some more, feels worse, refuses to eat, vomits bile, feels even worse, etc., etc. until we force feed her.
Gross. It's all gross.
(Fear not, friends, bile and regurgitation will not become regular vocabulary words or topics on this blog).
That's all,
Puppy psychologist time?
