We always joked that one of the reasons we got a dog was so we wouldn’t have to vacuum as often. As it turned out, Photon does her share of mooching in the park and at the dinner table, but that’s about it. And other than a couple of puppy teething mishaps she’s never really eaten non-food items (unlike a dog-park friend’s pooch, who’s managed to chow down on about four TV remotes; or the dog who ate the car starter fob, featured on the BBC a few years back).
Well, those Brits do love their dog-eats-whatever stories—and so do I—so here’s another one from the BBC about a dog who managed to scarf a $20,000 diamond. That’d buy an awful lot of kibble….

She got one of my knitted slippers that time, remember, right out of my backpack. (To be fair, there was already a hole.)

Ooh that’s right–I forgot about that one! They must’ve tasted just right—she’s never chewed any of our socks or slippers!
