why am i talking about this on FB?

i put a long status message up about oskar's saturday night adventure. I should have just posted it here--- so i am going to do that now.

Sapna Shenoy

is a bad dog owner...i a plastic bag full of treats for my students on my table. as i was leaving my house, i thought--can oskare reach those? I tied them up tight and left, when i should have put them behind a door---came home to a shredded plastic bag and food strewn everywhere----just so thankful that he went for... the crackers (ate 3 packages--18 pb cracker sandwiches) instead of the chocoloate.

It could have been a lot worse....but i think he ingested quite a bit of plastic--which is par for the course for my dog. hopefully he will pass it all--- will make for interesting poop in the morning or yet another emergency vet visit. he seems in good spirits right now...why not? he is full of delicious crackers! I feel guilty for scolding him though...this is my fault. I know my dog---i know his ways and his love for plastic.

i was gonna go out, but now i am going to stay in and make sure he is okay. i just feel terrible. i know better than to leave plastic encased food out. he loves plastic with a tasty center.

UPDATE: oskar is going okay---still it takes a few days to see if he has an obstruction. nothing weird came out of him today, and that is disturbing b/c at least then i would know it was not stuck inside him. also, he only ate 12 pb crackers---the last missing packet was found under my bed, where i guess he was hiding a snack for later.
