And if that doesn't work....... I'm guessing the majority of pop can chew is at home, when the dog is left alone....rite?? Try a few dashes of Cheyenne Pepper on your empty cans, a few sniffs may deter the urge and Effie mite loose interest in all pop cans after awhile. Rascal loved to dig holes, we would fill them up, he would dig it up again once you were out of site. we use the pepper in the garden, keeps cats and critters out so we tried it in the holes Rascal would dig...... he has not dug a hole in months, took awhile be after a few good sneezes he lost interest.
Tedy: It is wherever she can get teeth into them, and no, she is not left alone very often. One time at work, I put my pop tin on the roof of the car, and was talking with a co-worker. As it was warm, I had the driver's window open wide, and the kids were tethered in the back seat by the leashes hooked to the seatbelt. Some how, and I have no idea how, she managed to climb onto the window sill, and up onto the roof, grab the tin, and get back into the car without spilling a drop! Then she ate the tin, which did spill Coke all over! Wish I had the camera ready for that one!
At a loss Mike, Every dog has a way of rite under your nose getting into trouble but if it's that bad and a HATE to say it but maybe a muzzle is needed for her own protection. Some dogs no matter what the breed need CONSTANT supervision......been there
I'd try the pepper or other type things to get the dog to not want to eat soda cans anymore. At a last resort switch to bottles or a red solo cup.
At work, I solved the problem, at least for now. The dogs ride in a metal cage in the back seat. Until Effie eats the bars, and she is trying! I swear she really is part goat!
In one of my random facts books there is a segment done about a guy who would eat metal objects. He even ate an entire plane! It took him seven years, IIRC, to cut it up and eat it all. The acids in his stomach were greatly more concentrated than that of other people. He couldn't eat soft things like jello or bananas as they would make him sick. I've heard of several dogs throughout the years, seen a few, that eat/chew on metal objects. I can't help but wonder if these dogs in question have a similar stomach situation.
I bet he had a magnetic personality...nyuk nyuk nyuk!! :banghead3: Which one is he Xavier. Larry, Curly, or Moe? Or Huey, Or Louey!
I am the unknown stooge...Shemp. Known for not being hit on the head repeatedly. I am lucky my dogs only chew on eachother as far as I can tell, but they will gladly drag a napkin outside and shred it into several million pieces.
I'm finding this very hard to swallow ...........I can eat a entire air plane but jello or a banana that would make me sh**----skid off the run way?????? There ya go Mike, make your dog the freak show at the local fair, if people can make $ off of it why not you and the dog?....all you need is a air plane and you'll be a Kazillionare...........
Presenting: The Man Who Ate A Plane! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Lotito Okay I was off on how long it took him to eat the plane.
Well, 'X"....thanks for pointing out the obvious that no one should ever pee in the jean pool as clearly ( or yellowey) some one in his family did! """""I ate bananas, boiled eggs, and a air plain washed down with mineral oil and water over a few years.......dam bananas and boiled eggs made me sick though """""" Dam boiled eggs and bananas...... some one please get me a gallon of mineral spirits and a propeller blade, I need to settle my stomach......... After eating that for years, could you imagine what would happen after eating McDonalds????? He would never complain about bananas and boiled eggs again, but would want his mineral oil super sized!
