Mojo's eating his fiber

For size comparison, that's my kindle. 

Either we have giant moths or Mojo is going to have a massive stomach ache.

Seriously, the hole in this blanket is bigger than my head. I'm worried what this is going to do to his stomach. He already has a vet appointment Monday (for his arthritis), so we could get medical intervention as needed.

UPDATE: Mojo is just fine. The blanket did come out the other end. Maybe Mojo is part goat?

Mojo Menu

One of Mojo's worst vices is his tendency to eat really stupid things. It was worse when he was a puppy, I was constantly pulling things out his mouth. It's gotten better but every now and then he eats or attempts to eat something he shouldn't. Here's a sampling of what he's eaten.

• Mulch
• Hair (constantly)
• Cigarette butts
• 7 inches of shoelace (don't ask me how I know)
• String (lots of it)
• A pen (we found the pen before he got to any of the metal but he did crunch some of the plastic)
• Head phones
• The ears off his toys
• Half a phone book cover
• The corner of a newspaper bag
• Worm jerkey (also known as the dried up worms baked on the sidewalks)
• Poop (the more rancid the better)

We do try out best not to let him eat these things, but are not always successful.

Scheming

Today Mojo had a unique afternoon snack. Not the usual chicken, carrots or ice cubes. No, today that cat brought him a snack.

As previously mentioned, Katie's new hobby is knocking things off ledges. Today she decided to knock the computer headphones off of the small desk cubby they are stored in. Katie really likes these headphones, and if they are ever left out she likes to play with the string and try to eat the ear buds. For that reason the headphones are stored in a drawstring pouch when not in use.

Today she knocked the pouch off the desk and we can only guess she pulled the headphones out of the pouch. At which point we guess she decided to share her new prize with the dog.

Last week Mojo ate Katie shoelace, so it's not really surprising that he decided to eat the headphones. Specifically he ate one ear bud, the headphone jack and some of the cord.

Yum.

P.S. We will update you on his condition once we know the outcome.

UPDATE:

We never actually saw any evidence that he ate these things (I do have the remaining parts of the headphones), so maybe they are under a couch somewhere. That or they didn't cause any problems on the way out.
