Bosley-- A dog with issues

Bosley has an eating disorder. It's kind of related to anorexia, only reversed. It's "ieateverythinginsightitis". Sort of like emotional eating, only it's for every emotion and he eats things that are supposedly inedible. The last few weeks have seen a variety of things enter and exit the Bozters intestinal tract.

Just to name a few of the more benign items:
a roll of toilet paper
a roll of paper towels
a wooden puzzle piece
a Blue's Clues video tape
several sticks
a box of crayons

And then we get a bit more vexing:
an aluminum can (really. almost the whole thing)
a box of latex gloves- gloves included
several strips of molding from the bathroom
a piece of wallpaper from my mom's bathroom
a bowl of melted chocolate from the trash

Notice that several of the things in the second list are vet-worthy. Yeah. Let's just say that I'm glad the vet and I are friends. She called my dog an "active puppy". I call my dog a "psycho".

Bosley sounds like he's part goat. Indi was pretty bad as a puppy and she still chews stuff like the remote if someone happens to leave it within her reach. But she's gotten a lot better, like I never thought I'd be able to leave blankets on the couch but now I can.

Of course I've just jinxed myself and they'll be shredded when I get home.

Did you hear that we got a puppy??? I understand completely about the eating everything except Bosley is a little bit more drastic than Lilly. They need to play together sometime, she'd love it!
