When will they learn?

When will dogs learn that the only thing that belongs in their stomach is food. Tama's older pups love to eat things: Piggy has eaten everything under the sun including a cell phone, razor (but thankfully didn't swallow the blade) and part of a brand new sofa. Tomo ate a pair of his owner's underwear. Kona stole a bone that got lodged in his intestines and had to have surgery. Odie ate a bottle of thyroid medication. Odie and Tomo together tried to kill a possum last month. And the most recent is Odie, again. He's at the emergency vet right now with something in his stomach that shouldn't be there. Naughty puppies!

In case you're wondering, every single owner is a very diligent, responsible, experienced shiba person. All of them have owned shibas prior to getting these pups. But the pups are running amok! What is a birth mommy to do?

Not that it's funny but I seriously had to laugh at reading that one of Tama's older pups had eaten part of a couch. I have a 3 year old black lab that ate a brand new dual reclining couch! Everytime the doorbell rang, he'd take another bite. We covered the doorbell with a note asking to knock and it did no good.
