Got into the trash and ate a lot of ham, among other things.

Apparently ham is really bad for dogs b/c they can't break down the fat. It can lead to pancreatitis.

The onions he also ate can be toxic to dogs.

He's had a rough couple of days. We finally brought him in to make sure he did not have something seriously wrong with him.

Vet said he is lucky.

Are you sure it was not Will, and he blamed the dog? nm -- nm - groiny Dec 31, 08:33 1

- I left the bag of trash out in the kitchen when I replaced the bag - didn't put it outside. - kelly Dec 31, 08:34
- Two words: Garbage disposal - oblique Dec 31, 08:33 12
  - How much can you put in the disposal? - kelly Dec 31, 08:35 11
    - as much as you want, but you can't add it all at once. -- nm - loosilu Dec 31, 08:48
    - I've dumped tons of stuff in the disposal. Tons. make sure to run hot water...and you don't do it all at once...but feed it in.... -- nm - Remlik Dec 31, 08:38 5
      - Wow, thanks guys. This is awesome, I'm going to start doing this. - kelly Dec 31, 08:41 1
        
        Just don't put your hand in it -- nm - oblique Dec 31, 08:41
      - I rarely run hot water in the disposal, because the pipe leading to main drain is plastic -- nm - amoxy Dec 31, 08:39 2
        
        I've never heard that. My plumber told me to run the hot water cause it will flush the remains away better.... - Remlik Dec 31, 08:44
        
        *blinks* Huh? -- nm - oblique Dec 31, 08:40
    - Everything. I haven't found much that it won't take -- nm - oblique Dec 31, 08:38 1
      - your ass? nm -- nm - Mrs Kilbo Dec 31, 08:40
    - Sure, I do that, unless it is real stringy like Celery. And Egg shells tend to clog up the disposal -- nm - amoxy Dec 31, 08:37 1
      - And lettuce and coffee grounds. -- nm - Amy SuperHoop Queen Dec 31, 08:40
So that's what you decided to do with the ham? *shakes head* -- nm - oblique Dec 31, 08:33 3
- Yeah, we never ate any of it. I wound up throwing it away after a week and a half in the fridge. (yuck) -- nm - kelly Dec 31, 08:33 2
  - Cured ham lasts forever. -- nm - Amy SuperHoop Queen Dec 31, 08:35 1
    - It had been in the fridge for a while before I cooked it - I think I wound up cooking it on the last 'sell by' date. - kelly Dec 31, 08:36
