Talking German Shephards like bolts!

Go figure, I was servicing my battery tonight, and the dogs, (Jett 2 yrs, GS 115lbs, and Lola, GS, 6 mos, were in and out of the garage while I was out there. While I was working away, my daughter came out to the garage to show me a bolt Lola had coughed up on the family room floor. It was one of the bolts that hold the cover over the battery. So...pay attention to what your dogs do or maybe I just should pay attention to what mine do!!...DUH!

Friend of mine had a black lab that had swallowed 2 Shad Raps, trebble hooks and all. Dog lived, never found any evidence in the yard.

Ha that is funny. One day working on the off road Blazer my 2 yr old boy was "helping". He was going back and forth and I could hear tools clacging on metal, i really was not paying attention. Later I noticed he had a black ring on his upper arm, strage? When I was finishing up there were a couple bolts missing and some tools so I saked JAke what he was fixin on the Blazer, he went to the tailpipe and showed me, stuck his little arm all the way in to his armpit !! Had a great big grin on his face and was so proud. I thanked him and asked if he was ready for lunch and took him in and cleaned him up. After I used a magnet to fish out the tools and bolts.

I do not dare let my two in the garage when the tools are out. They know better than to pack them off but they like to wrestle each other which usually means me picking up scattered parts.

The boy in my avatar is now three and 120 lbs. and his companion (black female Shepherd) is 13 months and already at 80 lbs. They can displace a lot of stuff fast when they go to having their fun.

I'll bet mowing the lawn the next week was dangerous with all the lug nuts in the yard.
