Now you see it, now you don't!

It was Sunday morning. I got back from church and was fixing breakfast for myself and the guys. Usually Barney and Maggie are in the kitchen with me waiting for breakfast. However this morning, I noticed Barney wasn't there. Shortly he appeared on the scene with a "don't ask, don't tell" expression on his face. I figured he had been into something and eventually I'd find out what.

Breakfast finished, I'm vacuuming the house so no dog hairs show up in the batch of cookies I planned to bake. I happen to notice the small yellow sponge (2" square") I keep in the bathroom is missing!!!. Thanks Barney :evil: No big loss; but:..... did he swallow it whole? If so will it clog up his intestine? Do I call the vet? Will he have to operate to remove it? Even worse; If I do nothing, will he die of bloat? Aaaargh.

Barney is his usually playful self; full of life. Apparently there has been no ill effects yet. I keep an eye on him. Any signs of lethargy, sickness, pain and we go to the emergency room. Each time he goes outside I check to see if anything shows up from one end or the other.

Horay. Late afternoon. There it is, 3 pieces, nicely rolled up - now brown like the others. Thank you Lord.

All's well that ENDS well! :D

Panda can relate to this story as he has a fondness for sponges and I as his mom can relate to the worried parent syndrome like you, George. Whew glad everything came out alright.... :D

LOL.... Sky loves sponges. Sometimes I wonder if she simply likes to dot the yard with color afterward....

When Bunkie was teething, she would always steal my SOS (Steel Wool) pads. :roll: Blue Soap around her mouth.
Reminds of a sheepie who got ate something with glitter. Made finding the poop a bit easier.

That was a perfect END to the story! :rimshot:
