OMGosh!! I was gonna say the same thing but it was my son!! I will never forget it....happened only once but I was like....."what the heck!!" I was afraid to mention it for fear people would really get sick....LOL!! :D

yes, please watch cats and kids around string, small toys, batting, etc.
a very good reason never to let either into your sewing space.
i know, you can't watch everything but we must give it a good try to keep our kids and pets safe.
glad you got it out safely.

Picture a street corner with neighbors sitting on their porches. Enter one dog who had eaten some untangled Berber carpet. Add a shreiking granddaughter as the grandmother tried to help the dog with the carpet. The dog is afraid of plastic bags, so she's running away as much as she can. I was the grandmother and it was not a pretty picture, but enjoyed by many (from a distance).

OMG!!! I laughed the whole time reading this!

What I want to know is while he was pulling the string out, did he hold onto the end and walk backwards or did he do the hand over hand manuever?! ;)

My dog did a dryer sheet. Not nice.

My Siamese ate string, about a yard of it. Glad that he only did that one time.

Cats also like to eat the tinsel on the Christmas tree. So I stopped putting the tinsel on the tree while we had cats.

Okay....I'm grossed out now!!LOL

My Siamese cat did the same thing...(On Avatar: farthest right)

Yeah...the new normal...
Tink ate a spool of thread when she was a puppy....
Also, when she is planning on getting sick...she will make sure that she is either on the bed or on the oriental rug. Never on the hardwood floor or the kitchen floor.

while we were out tonight my dog eat my bedroom door guess she thought we went to bed with out her. not happy with her right now .. i will be at lowe frist thing in the a.m
