- Copious Halloween candy
- Body lotion (several brands)
- Carrots
- Celery
- Whole avocados (Never saw the pits pass but I assume they must have)
- 3/4 of an organic chocolate cake
- 2lbs of just cooked turkey breast (took her less than 5 seconds)
- National Geographic slipcases, 2006 and 2007 (She ate 2006 first. She ate 2007 the day my 2006 replacements arrived. Bitch.)
- Receipts too numerous to count
- Ditto the Kleenex
- Rotten fish and crab carcass at the beach
- Container of peanut butter
- Mai tai cocktail mix
- Chemical glow sticks (Nothing like coming home at midnight, not entirely sober, to find your downstairs carpet glowing like there had been a nuclear spill.)
- Large can of hot chocolate powder (My dog regretted this incident. Not only did she have a major sugar high, she had to down gallons of water, leading to a leak every 10 minutes for most of the night. I guess I regret the incident as well.)
- Bottle of maple syrup
- Horse dung
- Coffee grounds
- Douglas Futuyma's Evolution
- Multiple Christmas ornaments
- Small bottle of yellow paint (Color fortunately blended in with our area rug)
- Several Tupperware lids
- Corn cob (To be regurgitated a month later on my bed at 3:30 in the morning. Just about the only thing I know of she couldn't digest.)
- Loaves of bread
- BBQ grill cover
- Bags of chips
- Can of dog food (Chewed right through the metal to suck out the goods.)
- Microwave egg cooker
- Bar of soap (Which led to a vomit explosion, again on my bed.)
- Pepper shaker
- Several packs of gum (she still can't blow bubbles)
- $87 my brother left in our guest room (Had to cut a check for that one.)
- Jar of peanut butter
- Grapes (one at a time like a Roman matriarch)
- Blockbuster DVD-by-mail slipcase (Apparently, she didn't like the movie either.)
- Address book (If you haven't heard from me in a while, now you know why.)
- Mini book light (fixed with duct tape)
- Dust cover to Richard Dawkin's The God Delusion (I think my dog is a closet Deist)
- Central Market chocolate chip cookies
- Bag of cough drops (strawberry flavored)
- Twelve Christmas ornaments
- A wooden baby gate (We replaced it this evening with a metal one. Let's see her chew through that!)

What's Been Eaten
I have a 4.5 year old black lab. She'll eat just about anything, dead or alive. One night while at a bar listening to some local music, me, my wife, and a friend decided to compile a list of all the things my dog has eaten or tried to eat. We quickly filled up a cocktail napkin. After two attempts to eat said napkin, I thought if might be a good idea to compile the list electronically, safe from my dog's indiscriminate palate. I'll add to the list as needed. Feel free leave your own pet's culinary adventures in the comments.
