Readers of the Gazette may recall that Sandy was known for grabbing and eating the kitchen counter wipes. Last Friday our 18" X 13" wipe disappeared. It was thick and red and hardly something that would be easy to hide. We searched high and low with no success and suspected that Barkley may have eaten it. It failed to make a reappearance for several days so Barkley made a trip to the Vet's. X-rays showed a bulge in his stomach which might have been the wipe. Late in the afternoon the Vet called to say they spotted some red material in his poop, so the odds were good that he had in fact eaten it. They decided to keep him overnight and feed him mineral oil in order to try to grease the skids. If that didn't work they would have to remove it surgically. This morning the Vet called to say Barkley had barfed the towel up. It was in one piece and the Vet couldn't believe he was able to get rid of it. Throughout the whole time Barkley was as happy as a clam.

That is a spectacular tale. Way to have a dog with an iron stomach.
