Dachshunds ate a set of Hoosiers.

So last week our lives entered the twilight zone; first a drunk guy parks his truck in our driveway then passes out underneath it..........at 3:30 in the afternoon, the paramedics were already there when we got home

Then, our two dachshunds got as sick as well dachshunds. Two exits no waiting, very heavy tail pipe emissions. Beyon being nutty car people we're nutty dog people as well. Turns out they got a taste for lantana plants, which we've since dug out of the garden. Well the little wieners got IV fluids and an over night stay.

$940.17 later they're back at home lounging on the sofa and every time they come to visit me I look at them and say "did you eat a set of tires for daddy yes you did you're so cute"

My son says he thinks they ate a set of shocks for his Miata

My wife says they've nearly eaten a new fridge.

Thank God they're not Great Danes..............I could be out a Formula Atlantic.

Having grown up with labs that have eaten coffee tables and rugs, I thought they literally ate a set of tires. At least it was an easy fix and they're ok.

A friend's lab mix ate the stucco on the corner of the house......well at least bit a chunk out of it.

A friend's Shepard ate a brand new Michelin dual sport tire off the back of his Enduro.

The long haired one is named Jaguar......so you expect repairs for him are going to be pricey, the black and white one named Gizmo is part great white he explores the world by taste testing everything.......he'll come in the house with minty fresh breath (been in the garden) or fish breath......tried drinking the pond water again. We don't let him near the pad after midnight.

As for actually eating tires........they're only 8 give them time (note that's a 10" diameter slick off the F500, it could be they're size).

I came in here expecting to see a couple 510s that needed alignments. :)

Uncle had a pair of Shar-peis. Complete-inbread-mutants. They broke off all their front teeth chewing a hole in chain link fence.

Me too. Here i thought, right until i got to the bill, i was gonna hear about shredded tires.

I love dogs.

Wife's cousin had the most ill-behaved, stupid rescue dog I ever met.

My FIL dropped a lightbulb on the floor and before any of us could grab it, this stupid mutt ate it.

Damn thing was just fine afterwards too.

Count me on the list who thought "they ate tires, unexpected but totally believable for dachshunds".

My uncle had a collie that literally chewed on a medium truck tire until it exploded. That dog was the stupidest animal I've ever known.

I expected this was literal as well.

My uncle and at least one of his friends/neighbors that came to visit him had several tires patched and/or replaced. Wasted tons of time trying to find what they were driving over, expecting to find nails or similar hardware on the road to their house, until he discovered his Blue Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog) was actually chewing on and puncturing the tires. Filing its teeth solved that problem.

Ok I should have said Hoosier tire money..........regardless of whether they ate the actual tires or what they ate and the ensuing bill cost the same as a set of Hoosiers..........the end result is the same.

I also have two dachshunds. Today the bad one ate an entire roll of dental floss. Luckily we realized it happened and made him puke it up.

The damn thing has a deathwish

The worst and most surprising I ever came home to. When I still had the wolf, he ate, well everything. I'm still very surprised he didn't set a primer off when he got into these.

EDIT. I should add he didn't actually eat any bullets, which is amazing in itself, just chewed up the box.

OK gotta add my previous idiot dog to this one. She was a lab/hound mix and at different times ate: 4 raw chicken breasts a 6' nylon leash that we clipped to her collar. Ate it right up to the buckle a turkey carcass out of a metal trash can with a lid. she figured out how to open it with her foot.

hehehehehe.... 17 years ago....

We went to an adoption fair @ a pet store... persuaded to take these 2 sisters.... well about 6 weeks after we get them... one comes up with a bit of a limp.... seems at an early age she broke a bone in her front leg... long story short... $1500 for orthopedic surgery.....

back in 99, that was 2 cars for us

To oldeskewltoy:

The less than $1 solution was shown above...

Not sayin' it's the right choice, just that it's a lot cheaper than $1500.

Haha I freaking love Dachshunds. Ours is named Cooper, and he's a vengeful little sucker, but we love him.

When Roger (the original "logdog") was still around I never had to bend over to pick up anything somewhat edible I dropped.

Here he is annoyed that I made him sit in an RX7 because he kept trying to help me work on it.

Our new puppy has made it clear that she's a carpet muncher.

Our new foster bulldog bit our pug mix, twice, once it got infected. Three visits to the dog er and about 1000 dollars later.......

I too thought they could have realy eaten tires. I am glad they are ok.

The things we do for our furry freinds...

The one eyed one is worth a fully forged 383 SBC with aluminum heads

Several years ago one of our dogs once "ate" a Honda CRX. And another CRX since.

But she's so cute.

I spent several thousand dollars over the years on my first cat, Jesse. One vet said that he wouldn't live past seven years but in the end it made to a few days past his nineteenth birthday. His friendship and company were worth every penny and I'd gladly be paying incredible sums of money if I could have had him as a companion for another twenty years.

I never flinch when I go to the vet with my animals and I make it clear to the vet that money is not an object of concern.

I had a friend that had a couple of 5 gallon tins full of Mardi Gras beads. Every once in a while someone would leave the top off a can. A day or so later his dog would be walking around the house and yard with half a strand of crap smeared beads hanging out of his butt. This didn't happen once, but several times. That dog loved to eat the strands of beads. My friend would have to get out the latex gloves and chase him around to pull them out the rest of the way. Funny as hell.
