| Eating zippers....
Well, long story short a couple weeks ago Drake had chewed off and swallowd a zipper off of his doggie bed. He was throwing up and peeing blood and when they did the x-ray. Yup! There is was. He had surgery and is great now! Thank god! Reason for this post is so that I can post some funny/cute pics of him during his recovery. 
thats him in his makeshift no lick shorts....and then his bitenot collar

| I'm so happy to hear Drake is better.
I'd write to the manufacturer of the bed and send them a copy of the vet bill too. They should use alternative fasteners.
It can't hurt!

 | Glad Drake is doing well. He's a doll. The shot of his teeth on the crate is so cute.
They will eat absolutely everything, everything. I guess we need to put a net on their mouth.

It can't hurt! | Velcro attached to the cloth (or even just the cloth itself) of a dog bed can cause an obstruction just as easily as the zipper - just doesn't look as neat on the xray (metal objects show up as bright white on an xray).
Glad Drake is recovering! | |
