I am so... just... I dont know how to explain it in words.... upset? shocked? amazed? scared? mad? I dont know, right now.
To catch you up: A coupled days ago, Dennis found a bag with a giant skein of yarn hidden in one of our many boxes we've been going through. When I say giant, I mean GIANT, it was one of those budget skeins of acrylic yarn that you can get from Walmart. Huge! Not your normal size of yarn! It's like an entire pound of yarn. I was happy because I thought yay I can definitely make something useful for the baby with that. So I set the bag down on the floor next to me and proceeded to forget about it for the last week or so. lol
Well tonight we come home from church pretty late. We scoot the boys off to bed and then both Dennis and I come down here to the basement where Copper is and the computers are. There's Copper laying in the middle of the floor on his blanket and I notice a wad of yarn laying next to him. A few broken strings mangled with fur. As soon as I pick it up he tucks he head and tail and starts to move away from me. "WHAT is THIS!?!"I say. Noticing it's the same color as the yarn I had left, I look in the bag and my giant pound of yarn is no where to be seen. I checked other places where the yarn might be but it's no where. I think Copper ATE an ENTIRE pound of yarn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What in the world is wrong with him?!!?!?!??!? How could he... how did he he... WHA.....?!?!?!?! I mean, he eats EVERYTHING. He sits outside and munches on Hazelnuts that drop off our tree. He munches on some prickly, thorny bush we have too and then constantly laps at his tongue because it hurts... bonehead! His favorite spot in the entire house is under the dining room table. But it never ever occurred to me that he would have a fine dinner on my yarn. And acrylic yarn at that... it's not like it was wool and it smelled like an animal or something.... it's PLASTIC made into STRING!! Watch out world, dont leave your sweaters laying around! Our dog, who apparently must be starving to death, might just eat them! BTW, if you're reading this and dont know, our dog is FAR from starving to death, he only acts like he is. My big fear is one of the boys forgets to close his food container one night and he eats until he explodes.
So not only am I mad but I'm also conflictingly worried about him eating ALL that YARN. I do a quick google about "dog eating yarn". The first page I find, go figure, someone writing in their blog about their BASSETT HOUND eating their ball of yarn. BIG SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh no, I was laughing so hard. Poor copper!! You should have him checked though, I think that stuff can mess up his insides. My friends german shepard puppy used to eat EVERYTHING, including two cell phones, electrical cords, plastic water bottles and the stuffing of the couch cushions. ( not to mention hair clips, shoes, flip flops, books everything!) this same dog would jump on you if you had wine too!
I can just picture you looking for the yarn and discovering that it was probably in Copper's stomach I hope Copper will be ok after eating all that yarn! Clyde loves ribbon and flowers. He eats both of these if we forget to hide them. Dude licks plastic bags???
Oh Amy, I'm just in disbelief abouot you finding that. I hope Copper is doing okay. My dogs ate the gears off a bike that was left in the backyard with them. And I mean the gears--they ate all the handle, the wire and started eating the gear itself.
