In between yard maintenance and errands this weekend, we got to talking about our dog's first stay at the vet a few years ago. That first conversation with the vet went a little like this:
Vet: "Well, Juno is fine. She did great in surgery, slept well last night, went for a walk this morning, and ate all of her food at breakfast."
Us: "Oh, that's great! So we can take her home?"
Vet: "She also ate the bowl."
Us: "Oh, ok."
Vet: "Um, I'm not sure if you heard me...she ate the bowl."
Us: "Ok."
Vet: "Uh, that doesn't concern you?"
Us: "We're concerned, we're just not surprised. That sounds like something she would do."
Vet: "We've made a note in Juno's file - stainless steel bowls only."
Us: "Oh, ok, that's great, thank you."
"Labrador Retrievers are prone to chewing objects, having a well-known reputation for appetite, and some individuals (see Juno), may be highly indiscriminate, eating digestible and non-food objects alike." - Wikipedia
N.B. I added the 'see Juno' part.
