Cooper

[Bobberineyes]

Good luck lps, hopefully cooper passes the sock. Can't say I've ever been down that road,  usually just pcs of clothing they were chewing up.

[Dotch]

Hoping he passes the sock too Barry. Don't want to speculate too much but he's a good sized dog and it doesn't sound like it was a huge sock. Sounds like you've done what you can. Could end up like the cats when they used to eat the milk strainers. Sometimes had to pull them out of their @ss to finish the job for them but they went on through. And glenn tells me he can always use more socks!

We had a cat that ate the draw string from a sweatshirt hoodie. One day the cat walked by and I saw about 3 inches dangling from the cats a$$. I just grab it and pulled. Dumb animals.

[LPS]

I have my eyes peeled.  Feeling like I may be helping some with the passing of the sock.  Hopefully today.

Little rascal sure is growing up fast,like his cowlick like shadow cooper's golden is coming out,fun watching the boyz grow.thanx for sharing.

[LPS]

LOL  That is a funny cowlick on his nose.  Was just talking to the wife and remembered we had a smaller lab named Willy a couple of dogs ago.  I had bought a half ham and it had a real thick rind on it.  I cut the rind off and threw it outside for him to chew on when he was out there.  I thought he would chew on it for a week.  This is a big chunk.  Darn near enough to make a football.  Well an hour later I went out to check the progress and it was already gone.  Willy ate it all.  I don't know how he swallowed it in one piece but he did..   We were worried.  He was uncomfortable for a few days and stink!!!!  He farted all day and night for 2 days.  Finally he must have pooped it out and I bet it wasn't fun neither.  Never did that again.

dat's funny!!  we had an english bulldog who once swallowed a sweet corn cob after the corn had been eaten...  soneone threw to him and like you we didn't watch him and poof gone!!!  2 days later it came back out the way it went in!!!  that poor dog was sure hungry after that, he didn't eat till then!!! 

[LPS]

Ouch!!!

[glenn57]

Well LPS  are you proud grandparents of a new sock puppy, or would that be a relief of a sockey experience. 

Seriously hope he passes that without trouble.

[LPS]

Haven't seen it yet.  He seems healthy and happy and eats his food good.  We are trying to watch him better to see if it passes but he was out in the pasture yesterday so who knows.  I keep waiting for him to trot up to the house with it hanging out of his azz.  Then the wife will have to help him.   

[glenn57]

LPS, IS cooper shedding alot??? Man shadow is shedding like crazy.  I take him outside twice a day and get him with a shedding blade. I think I could make a pillow out of all the hair.

[snow1]

glenn,he's losing his puppy hair,be sure to brush his tail feathers down otherwise they'll wrap around the tail,same for his front legs brush horizontal away from the legs,it'll be over after about 5 days as long as you brush everyday,its a golden trait,did his nose turn brown over winter or stay black? golden's nose turn brown in the winter ,black in the summer,curious

[glenn57]

Yea easier said then done. he goes crazy when I try to brush him. but Yea I try and hit him everywhere.

And his nose has been black all along do far.

[snow1]

oh I do plenty of that.... As he's laying on my lap AGAIN.

[LPS]

No Cooper doesn't seem to be losing that much hair.  I don't use those real sharp blades anymore.  We have a brush that you click it and the wires retract and the hair falls off the brush.  Love it and the dogs love to be brushed with it.  Our cat even likes it and it works great.  I don't think they like that real sharp thing you use.  Ours don't.  The one they love is called a self cleaning brush made by Pet Neat. 

[glenn57]

Been using that shedding blade on all my dogs on occasion. It seems to work best on shadow right now.  He doesn't mind it he just wants to get at it and chew on it 

The brush thing your using sounds like the thing they call the furminator. I have that and use it also.

I also using a brush, one side has nylon bristles other side fine wire bristles with a blunt point.

[LPS]

We just did a walkabout and guess what we found.  A big turd with the anklet in it.  Looked fairly fresh too.  Finally passed it.  I see it had some rubber dots on the bottom for traction.  That may have been working against us as we waited the movement.   What a relief to us and to Cooper.   

[mike89]

did ya clean it for the wife???  I'm betting not!!!   

[glenn57]

did ya clean it for the wife???  I'm betting not!!!   

NO DOTCH... he better not mail it to me either.

[LPS]

LOL  She was the one who actually saw it first.  We both broke out laughing. 

[Dotch]

I am relieved and happy for you. For Cooper too!  The stuff they won't try to eat...
