It could be worse I suppose

Merry Friday everyone,

I have just evicted Pooka from my room due to her propensity to eat things. Anything. Just have a gnaw and see what happens...

I don't THINK she has swallowed anything important yet (apart from the spare button for my brother's suit). And it could be worse. A Bernese Mountain Dog at the park has swallowed a pine cone (needed a bowel resection after that), eaten a chicken (it was alive beforehand... she did leave the feet, but was pooing feathers for days afterwards), the packet from some sewing needles (an x-ray to determine if she'd swallowed any needles showed that she hadn't, but there was "something square" in there) and who knows what else. And Pooka tends to chew and spit most of the time. Although I do find some pegs and rubber bands and assorted other objects occasionally.

She was lying beside me companionably for a while, eating bits of paper and a bottle. Then she started on the door stop and went into my brother's room to see what she could find in there. Then half a Schmacko was used to encourage her outside.

So now I can return to chucking out papers that I am not going to read. If we're realistic. It's not going to happen.

Back to uni on Monday :(
