My dog is fine and it wasn't my fault she needed surgery. She just deflated and swallowed her fave toy. (lemmy.world)

I got insurance for my dog. He likes to eat things that aren’t food and I have to be extra vigilant. Mostly his toys.

Once, I caught him with my Adderall pill bottle. I cried so much. I thought I killed him.

It was in the middle of the shortage and I had just counted the amount in the bottle earlier that day. I found every single one in the dirt. I was so relieved. I still cried about it though. He’s my best friend and I need him around a bit longer.

My point is you aren’t the only one who has been through this. I learned a lot about myself and my dog that day.

I’m so happy your dog is okay!

Dogs are dogs. We give them the best life we can but they get restless and do things that don’t make sense to me. Owning a dog is like having a toddler that never grows out of it.
