My guide dog (10 years old G. Shep. 70 lbs) has a tendency to eat really fast after a good run/ walk and outside play time. As with most lg dog breeds, bending and "stooping" to eat from bowls on the floor can sometimes cause the dog to swallow air too... resulting in very un-lady dog like belches! While recently hospitalized, my dog did not have her "elevated" dish base, so she was eating from bowls on the floor after some time outside with me in a wheelchair. The doctor, a dog lover, and a shep owner herself, came in, bent to scratch ears and get pooch smooches... and yep... burrrrrp! the doctor, so startled by the sudden noise, the volume of the noise, and the feeling of the burp blowing in her face took a very quick seat backwards, at which my dog raced over, squeaky toy in mouth, and figured if she was on the ground, it must be play time, since two leggers only sit on the floor to play with dogs! either that, or it was a peace offering and an apology to give up one's favorite bear

My sister's dog recently ate her husband's electric razor. This is the e-mail she shared with friends and family. Electric Razor - $60 Xrays - $300 Surgery & hospitalization - $1400 Boomer coming home today - priceless

Hi Dana! This story made me laugh so much and the pictures are too cute :) Maybe I could hire Apollo sometime to get my newspaper for me??

We have a yellow lab that absolutely has to greet us at the door with something in her mouth. She loves empty pop bottles. Usually it's her blanket( or all 3 of them ) in her mouth with a big smile and her tail banging on the walls. She actually cries if she doesn't have a toy to greet us with. She's scared of her toybox and will not take anything out of it. She's also the only lab we know who hates water.

My mom had a Miniature Schnauzer named Mollie that loved to chase a tennis balls. She would "pop" the ball out of her mouth when she retrieved it for you. Mollie could do this for hours on end and long outlast the person throwing the ball. When my mom got on to other chores, such as doing the laundry or cleaning the house, it did not take Mollie long to realize that if she popped the ball into a laundry basket or wastebasket you would have to fish it out. That way she had a better chance of continuing the game.

My childhood dog was Blackjack. One day when I was about 4 years old, my mom couldn't find me. I was finally found....... sleeping with Blackjack in his dog house! Now I'm 30 years old and this is still a legendary story!

I LOVE the pic of Apollo smiling!!! I have two poodles - a toy and a mini. They are hilarious! I call them the Odd Couple - one is very prim and proper, won't get wet, dirty, etc., the other will roll in anything, jump on anything - completely fearless and crazy! Friends have dubbed her the ADHD dog... : )
